International Maritime
Consultancy was
established in 1996 by
Captain Terry Hughes
with a view to
providing a quality,
specialised service for
all those connected
with Vessel Traffic
Services (VTS) and
Management
(VTM).
Terry established VTS
training in the UK in
1982 and has, together
with IALA and its VTS
Committee members, been
instrumental in
obtaining professional
VTS qualifications for
VTS Operators.
These qualifications
are now internationally
recognised
(IMO/SOLAS).
Terry, who is the
holder of a V103/1 VTS
Certification
Log, has been
involved in training
many VTS Operators
from around the
world as well as
carrying out
operational inspections
at VTS Centres for
various Maritime
Administrations.
After 25 plus years he
has decided to
swallow
the 'training
anchor' and
provide consultation
on VTS training and
operations.
As a Vessel Traffic
Management Consultant
Captain Hughes has
undertaken expert
witness projects in
VTS related legal
cases in the UK,
Europe, United States
and South
Africa.
Captain Hughes is a
Fellow of both the
Nautical Institute and
Royal Institute of
Navigation as well as
being a Younger Brother
of Trinity House and a
Livery Member of the
Honourable Company of
Master Mariners.
He is currently
Chairman of the
Personnel &
Training WG in the IALA
VTS
Committee.
Terry spent 2 years on
HMS Conway before
joining the Royal Fleet
Auxiliary, ending up 20
years later as Master
with Bibby Line.
He then entered the
academic world
as Principal/Lecturer
with the Commonwealth
Secretariat before
joining the lecturing
team at Warsash,
specialising
in Vessel Traffic
Services.
