Crynodeb

The King’s Harbour Master (KHM) Portsmouth is the de facto authority for the Dockyard Port of Portsmouth, responsible for the safe and effective operation of the port primarily for the benefit of the Ministry of Defence. The port also has a wide range of commercial and recreational water users, and KHM has a duty to ensure safety for all users. In accordance with published MOD policy, KHM complies with the provisions of the Department of Transport’s Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC), and this guides the rules, regulations and safety guidance maintained by KHM.

KHM provides Vessel Traffic Services for the Dockyard Port of Portsmouth to oversee movements and afloat operations/activities within the port. The Vessel Traffic Services Operators (VTSO) stand watches organising and communicating the dynamic traffic plan to all shipping. The VTSO is responsible to the Vessel Traffic Services Supervisor (VTSS) for the minute by minute management of the port’s traffic plan.
