Advice of waypoints (AWP) and/or route plan of VTS
Introduction/Additional information:
This IFM should be used by a VTS to advise its waypoints and/or its route plan. If the VTS uses this IFM 18 within an addressed binary message, then the waypoints and/or the route plan will be available to the addressed recipient, one ship, only. If the VTS uses this IFM 18 within a broadcast binary message, then the information will be available to all other ships in the VTSs vicinity.
When transmitting, the VTS should include up to 12 advised waypoints and/or a route specified by a textual description, if available. If waypoints are transmitted, then a recommended turning radius may be transmitted for each waypoint.
