New shipping routes on Dutch part of North Sea
Today – 1 August – the routing system in the Dutch part of the North Sea changes extensively. A number of Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS) have been revised and a new TSS has been introduced for the approaches to Amsterdam. New anchoring areas have been established and others have changed.
The North Sea is one of the world’s most intensively used sea areas. A revision of the routing system is needed to ensure the future safety of shipping, to improve access to Amsterdam and Rotterdam and to allocate the marine space efficiently.
北海是世界上使用率最高的海域之一。因此,航线系统的修正是十分必要的,以确保未来的航运安全,提高阿姆斯特丹和鹿特丹港的到访量,更有效地分配海洋空间。
