ANNEX

GENERAL PROVISIONS ON SHIPS' ROUTEING

1  OBJECTIVES

1.1  The purpose of ships' routeing is to improve the safety of navigation in converging areas and in areas where the density of traffic is great or where freedom of movement of shipping is inhibited by restricted sea-room, the existence of obstructions to navigation, limited depths or unfavourable meteorological conditions.

1.2  The precise objectives of any routeing system will depend upon the particular hazardous circumstances which it is intended to alleviate, but may include some or all of the following:

.1  the separation of opposing streams of traffic so as to reduce the incidence of head-on encounters;

.2  the reduction of dangers of collision between crossing traffic and shipping in established traffic lanes;

.3  the simplification of the patterns of traffic flow in converging areas;

.4  the organization of safe traffic flow in areas of concentrated offshore exploration or exploitation;

.5  the organization of traffic flow in or around areas where navigation by all ships or by certain classes of ship is dangerous or undesirable;

".6  the organization of safe traffic flow in or around or at a safe distance from environmentally sensitive areas;"

.7  the reduction of risk of grounding to providing special guidance to vessels in areas where water depths are uncertain or critical;

.8  the guidance of traffic clear of fishing grounds or the organization of traffic through fishing grounds.

2  DEFINITIONS
