Separation zones refer to the IMO's "traffic separation scheme", which intends to establish routing measures in the sea’s most busy areas to increase shipping safety. | |||
Traffic routing measures include different types of shipping routes and separation zones. This page is about the separation zones; these include "separation zones", "precautionary areas", and "areas to be avoided". | |||

'''IMO - Traffic regulation zones: areas to be avoided''' | |||
"Ships routeing systems and traffic separation schemes that have been approved by International Maritime Organization (IMO). | |||
An Area to be Avoided (ATBA) is an area within defined limits that should be avoided by all ships or certain classes of ships, in which navigation is Particularly hazardous or in which it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties. | |||
In general, ATBAs should be established only in places where: | |||
inadequate survey or insufficient provision of aids to navigation may lead to danger of stranding; where local knowledge is considered essential for safe passage; where there is the possibility that unacceptable damage to the environment could result from a casualty; or where there might be hazard to a vital aid to navigation." | |||
'''IMO - Traffic regulation zones: Precautionary areas''' | |||
"Ships routeing systems and traffic separation schemes that have been approved by International Maritime Organization (IMO). A Precautionary Area | |||
is 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.”" | |||
