7.3  In each case, exploration sites should be reviewed and such conditions specified as the responsible Government may deem necessary to ensure safety of navigation in the area.

7.4  Details of these temporary adjustments should be forwarded to IMO and to appropriate hydrographic offices at least four months before the rig is positioned within an adopted traffic separation scheme so as to allow ample time to inform shipping. When the duration of such temporary adjustments is expected to be six months or more, this should be made known to the relevant hydrographic authorities in order to allow appropriate action to be taken in notifying mariners.

7.5  In the event of a temporary adjustment to a traffic separation scheme remaining in force for more than one year, the responsible government should consider whether permanent amendments to the scheme may ultimately become necessary and, if appropriate, initiate timely procedures for IMO to adopt such amendments.

"Mandatory routeing systems

7.6  Mandatory routeing systems should not be temporarily adjusted. If necessary for the safety of navigation in the area concerned, a mandatory routeing system may be entirely or partly suspended by the Contracting Government or Governments which have implemented such systems. The responsible Government or Governments should inform IMO of such a suspension and promulgate details of the suspension by all appropriate means."
