IMO ships routeing guide

This dataset includes digitized deep-water route, traffic separation schemes, precautionary areas and inshore traffic zones in the Baltic Sea as defined in the 9th edition of the Ships Routing Guide (2008) of the International Maritime Organization.


It was updated in 2017.


The update includes information about new traffic separation schemes and deep-water routes, amendments to the existing traffic separation schemes and establishment of new two-way routes which are not included in the original 2008 routeing guide, but were adopted by the 54th, 55th, 57th, and 58th session of the Sub-Committee on the Safety of Navigation of the IMO, and 3rd session of IMO's Sub-Committee Meeting on the Navigation, Communications, Search and Rescue.

Statement

The dataset was created by digitizing in ArcMap the coordinates described in the 2008 edition of the IMO Ships Routeing Guide, documents of the 54th, 55th, 57th, and 58th session of the Sub-Committee on the Safety of Navigation of the IMO, and 3rd session of IMO's Sub-Committee Meeting on the Navigation, Communications, Search and Rescue.


The dataset was further transformed into ETRS89 projections since the original information were based on World Geodetic System 1984 Datum (WGS 84).


This work was carried out in 2017 by Erasmus Mundus MSP trainees Fana Mehari Hagos and Princess Hope Bilgera
