New two-way shipping lane in Gulf of Aden
Tagged: Gulf of Aden, piracy
The London-based International Maritime Employer’s Committee announced that on 1 February 2009 a two-way system will come into force in the Gulf of Aden. This will apply specifically to the “High Risk Area” security corridor. All vessels will be directed to transit the Gulf via the East and West bound lanes, in response to the increase in number and positioning of naval vessels sent to the area. It is also believed that the two-way system will lower the risk of collision.
