Summary	Late in 2011 the VOS Panel initiated the VOS Ancillary Pilot Project to react quickly to requests from shipowners to recruit VOS in cases where VOS operators don’t have the resources available to allow such ships to be recruited to the traditional VOS classes prescribed in WMO Pub 47. The document outlines the consideration that has been given to this issue by the Task Team on VOS Recruitment and Programme Promotion (TT-VRPP) and makes recommendations to the SOT.
