From Paper Charts to ECDIS, 2nd Edition 2013

Both the safety of shipping and the cleanliness of oceans are promoted in many ways, one of which is the continuing development of routeing measures to control the navigation of vessels and to monitor their progress. The measures that are described or defi ned in parts A and H of this publication are individually described in parts B (traffi c separation schemes and inshore traffi c zones), C (deepwater routes), D (areas to be avoided), E (other routeing measures, such asrecommended tracks, two-way routes and recommended directions of traffi c fl ow), F (the rules and recommendations on navigation that are associated with particular traffi c areas and straits), G (mandatory ship reporting systems, mandatory routeing systems and mandatory no anchoring areas) and H (archipelagic sea lanes). This edition incorporates routeing measures that have been adopted before December 2013.
