NEED FOR ACTION? …. the feasibility of a network of physically-defined navigation routes and Traffi c Separation Schemes (….) could be considered under the auspices of IMO ….

Along these routes, coastal States would be able to better monitor shipping movements off their coasts, including the monitoring and investigating of illicit discharges from ships, and be in a better position to respond to other emergencies....

Ships would equally benefit from this accrued safety, being made aware in real time of any deviation from their route which could lead to an accident ....

.... this initiative could be seen as the natural complement of other projects, such as the Motorways of the Sea .....
