Amend annex 1 (resolution A.572(14), as amended), as follows:
- Section 3 (Responsibilities of Contracting Governments and recommended and
mandatory practices)
- Insert after existing paragraph 3.13, a new paragraph 3.14, as follows:
- "3.14 In planning to establish multiple structures at sea, including but
not limited to wind turbines, Governments should take into account, as
far as practicable, the impact these could have on the safety of
navigation, including any radar interference. Traffic density and
prognoses, the presence or establishment of routeing measures in the
area, and the manoeuvrability of ships and their obligations under the
1972 Collision Regulations should be considered when planning to
establish multiple structures at sea. Sufficient manoeuvring space
extending beyond the side borders of traffic separation schemes should
be provided to allow evasive manoeuvres and contingency planning by
ships making use of routeing measures in the vicinity of multiple
structure areas.",
and renumber the following paragraphs accordingly.
