Government officials and maritime experts from Asian coastal States gathered in Singapore (February 2-6) for the first IMO workshop on ships’ routing and ship reporting systems. The workshop aimed to assist participants in strengthening regional expertise in navigational safety measures, IMO procedures and the effective implementation of ships’ routing and reporting systems, particularly in coastal States experiencing increasing maritime traffic. Ships’ routing is the practice of following predetermined routes for shipping, designed to organize maritime traffic in busy or complex sea areas.
