CROSSING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL / DOVER STRAIT
A Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS)
A Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) is in use to help ferries safely cross the Dover TSS. It is not a formal Separation Scheme and is not shown on official charts, but small craft should be aware of its existence. Most cross-Channel ferries can be expected to be using the VSS but high speed ferries are not included in the scheme. The VSS is bounded by the following points:
1) 51°05’•35N 01°28’•00E
2) 51°00’•10N 01°40’•00E
3) 50°59’•30N 01°39’•10E
4) 51°04’•70N 01°26’•80E
A separation line extends from a point midway between points 2 and 3 above to 1M W of CA6 buoy. Parallel to and 1•5M to the NE of this zone a further separation line extends from 51°06’•40N 01°29’•90E to 51°01’•20N 01°41’•60E. Calais to Dover ferries keep to the W of this line; ferries to and from Dover and Dunkerque keep to the E.
