9.2 Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS)

  • Introduction to Traffic Separation Schemes: Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS) are established to regulate vessel traffic and prevent collisions in congested or high-traffic areas. This section explains the purpose and benefits of TSS and explores the principles behind their design.
  • Types of TSS: This module covers different types of TSS, including two-way routes, one-way routes, and precautionary areas. It explains the characteristics, markings, and navigational considerations associated with each type.
  • Navigating in TSS: Navigating within a TSS requires adherence to specific rules and procedures. This section explores best practices for safe navigation within TSS, including maintaining proper course and speed, using designated traffic lanes, and effectively communicating with other vessels.
