Very interesting, Flywright. So they do monitor Class B AIS. I thought they would. I have contacted VTS for Victoria Traffic in BC, here and they said that RB's were welcome to contact them for traffic information and also to communicate on the VTS Channel with commercial traffic when necessary to ensure safe passes. This something I do with BC Ferries inside Active Pass. Ferry traffic often doesn't reply on 16.
