Topic 4: The use of routeing in accordance with the General Provisions on Ships’
Routeing (Wks. 11: 2 hrs)
Introduction to the topic
In DW2 you have been given instruction onthe General Provisions on Ships’Routeing. In DW2
the terms definitions including illustrations were discussed providing you with working
knowledge of its operating principle.
in this course the discussion is on its application and compliance in oder to navigate the ship
safely and efficiently. Intrinsic to traffic management is comunication, which was the topic in the
preceding topic.

Discussion
1. Rationale1
The General Provision on Ships’ Routeing was adopted as per IMO Resolution A.572(14)the
purpose of which 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.
The increasing number of ships created ongestion in harbor waters making it necessary to find
means of managing vessl traffic. Every port has its own rules, for example, VHF channel,
therefore, you have to research ahead prior to calling on that port. These information are found
in publications, otherwise contact your local agent.
2. Application of the General Provision on Ships’ Routeing

COLREG Regulation 10, Traffic Sparation Scheme (TSS) is central to the General Provision on
Ships’ Routeing.
The following terms are used in connection with matters related to ships' routeing:
1. Routeing system
Any system of one or more routes or routeing measures aimed at reducing the risk of
casualties; it includes traffic separation schemes, two-way routes, recommended tracks,
areas to be avoided, inshore traffic zones, roundabouts, precautionary areas and deep
water routes.
2. Traffic separation scheme
A routeing measure aimed at the separation of opposing streams of traffic by appropriate
means and by establishment of traffic lanes.
These common terms used in routeing but are also found in the 1972 Collision Regulations.
3. Separation zone or line
A zone or line separating the traffic lanes in which ships are proceeding in opposite or
nearly opposite directions; or separating a traffic lane from the adjacent sea area; or
separating traffic lanes designated for particular classes of ship proceeding in the same
direction.
4. Traffic lane
An area within defined limits in which one-way traffic is established. Natural obstacles,
including those forming separation zones, may constitute a boundary.
5. Roundabout
A routeing measure comprising a separation point or circular separation zone and a circular
traffic lane within defined limits. Traffic within the roundabout is separated by moving in a
counterclockwise direction around the separation point or zone.

6. Inshore traffic zone
A routeing measure comprising a designated area between the landward boundary of a
traffic separation scheme and the adjacent coast, to be used in accordance with the
provisions of rule 10(d), as amended, of the International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea (Collision Regulations), 1972.
7. Two-way route
A route within defined limits inside which two-way traffic is established, aimed at providing
safe passage of ships through waters where navigation is difficult or dangerous.
8. Recommended route
A route of undefined width, for the convenience of ships in transit, which is often marked by
centre line buoys.
9. Recommended track
A route which has been specially examined to ensure so far as possible that it is free of
dangers and along which ships are advised to navigate.
10. Deep water route

A route within defined limits which has been accurately surveyed for clearance of sea
bottom and submerged obstacles as indicated on the chart.
11. Precautionary area

A routeing measure comprising an area within defined limits where ships must navigate
with particular caution and within which the direction of traffic flow may be recommended.
12. Area to be avoided

A routeing measure comprising an area within defined limits in which either navigation is
particularly hazardous or it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties and which should
be avoided by all ships, or certain classes of ship.
13. Established direction of traffic flow

A traffic flow pattern indicating the directional movement of traffic as established within a
traffic separation scheme.
14. Recommended direction of traffic flow

A traffic flow pattern indicating a recommended directional movement of traffic where it is
impractical or unnecessary to adopt an established directions of traffic flow.
