Omar Frits Eriksson 20161220:
Present definition is very specific and only suitable for VTS:
Competent Authority VTS-2012-8 The authority made responsible, in whole or in part, by the Government for safety, including environmental safety, and efficiency of vessel traffic and the protection of the environment. Source: IMO A.857(20)
I suggest to rename this definition to be titled “Competent Authority (VTS)”, and introduce a new more generic definition titled “Competent Authority” as follows:
Competent Authority The authority made responsible, in whole or in part, by the Government for a given domain. Examples: Competent authority for marine aids to navigation: The authority made responsible, in whole or in part, by the Government for a marine aids to navigation. Competent authority for vessel traffic services: The authority made responsible, in whole or in part, by the Government for vessel traffic services. See also: Competent Authority (VTS)
This is pending a decision by the Dictionary Editing Working Group
