(b) any planned deviation from the standard route must be identified.
Note   Standard route plans are set out in the REEFVTS User Guide available at the Maritime Safety Queensland website: http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/Shipping. Standard route plans have been developed to enable vessels to communicate their intended route through the REEFREP area.

(a) vessel name, call sign and IMO number;
