9 November 2023
The industry associations of ICS, BIMCO, CLIA, INTERCARGO, IMCA, OCIMF and INTERTANKO have developed routing advice for the region to aid passage planning as a reaction to the maritime threat environment in this area. The coordinates in the bulletin create a geographically bounded corridor connecting:
- The northern Persian Gulf to the Strait of Hormuz TSS.
- The Strait of Hormuz Traffic Separation Scheme south to a point off the coast of Muscat.
When combined, these sections form a transit corridor and is offered for consideration when planning the vessel’s route in/out of the region.
This transit corridor guidance complements the following existing guidance, all of which is available at the Industry Maritime Security website: https://www.maritimeglobalsecurity.org/
- BMP5
- 3 July 2019 Safety & Security and the use of Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel (PCASP) in Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman
- Reporting Guidance for vessels transiting the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden (GOA), Arabian Sea (AG), Gulf of Oman (GOO), Straits of Hormuz (SoH) and the Arabian Gulf (AG).
- 5 January 2021 Industry update following incident in the Persian Gulf
