Annex 4 - Associated Protective Measures for the Jomard Entrance PSSA

 Associated Protective Measures (APMs)

1 The newly established routeing systems (four two-way routes and a precautionary area) at Jomard Entrance are the APMs, as follows:

  • .1 a one nautical mile wide Two-way route to the north of Jomard Entrance, which extends approximately 20 nautical miles from the northern boundary of the precautionary area, see Chartlets, below;

  • .2 three 1 nautical mile wide Two-way routes to the south of Jomard Entrance, each aligned with the general traffic pattern to/from ports on the east coast of Australia. The routes extend approximately 3.5 nautical miles from the southern boundary of the precautionary area, see Chartlets, below; and

  • .3 a quadrilateral-shaped precautionary area that lies between the northern and southern two-way routes described above, see Chartlets, below.

2 The two-way routes and precautionary area can be used by all ships navigating in the area.

(Note: These routeing systems were approved at the first session of the Sub-Committee on Navigation, Communications and Search and Rescue (NCSR 1/3/8), subsequently adopted by MSC 94 and entered into force on 1 June 2015.)
