Previous definition(s)

RIS Centre means the place, where the services are managed by operators. A RIS may exist without a RIS centre (e.g. an Internet service, a buoy’s service). When ship/shore interaction in both ways (e.g. by VHF service) is intended, one or more RIS centres are needed. If a VTS centre or a lock exists in a RIS area, they may also be used as RIS centres. It is recommended to concentrate all services in a RIS area into one single RIS centre. (Source: RIS-Guidelines 2007/414/EC)
