SULTANATE OF OMAN HAS ISSUED FOLLOWING ADVISORY
1. THE SULTANATE OF OMAN BASED ON ITS RESPONSIBILITIES
TOWARD THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE
GLOBAL ECONOMY, AND IN ACCORDANCE TO ITS CONTINUED
COMMITMENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE LAW OF
THE SEA TO ENSURE FREEDOM OF NAVIGATION IN THE STRAIT
WITHOUT IMPOSING ANY TOLLS, IN LINE WITH THE OUTCOMES
AND EFFORTS REACHED BY THE UNITED STATES AND ISLAMIC
REPUBLIC OF IRAN.
2. THE SULTANATE OF OMAN HAS WORKED IN COORDINATION WITH
THE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION (IMO) TO PROVIDE
ALL VESSELS WITH THE OPTION OF A TEMPORARY MARITIME
CORRIDOR DEFINED BY THE COORDINATES LISTED BELOW.
3. THE SAFETY OF NAVIGATION REMAINS THE PARAMOUNT CONSIDERATION.
GIVEN THE ELEVATED RISK OF COLLISION IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT,
A GRADUAL AND CONTROLLED EVACUATION OF VESSEL TRAFFIC IS REQUIRED.
4. TO MITIGATE THESE RISKS, THE IMO HAS DEVELOPED A PHASED
APPROACH BASED ON GROUPS OF VESSELS WITH THE FULL COORDINATION
OF THE OMANI AUTHORITIES.
5. CURRENT REPORTS INDICATE THAT THE TSS IS NOT SAFE FOR USE AT
THIS TIME. BASED ON AVAILABLE INFORMATION FROM THE IMO, TWO
TEMPORARY ROUTES MAY BE UTILIZED BY VESSELS DEPARTING THROUGH
THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: ONE SOUTH OF THE EXISTING TRAFFIC
SEPARATION SCHEME (TSS) AND ONE TO THE NORTH.
6. VESSELS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGNATED GROUPS WILL BE CONTACTED
INDIVIDUALLY AND PROVIDED WITH FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING
THEIR DEPARTURE BY RELEVANT PARTIES COORDINATED BY THE IMO.
7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSIT: VESSELS WILL BE CONTACTED INDIVIDUALLY
AND ADVISED OF THEIR ALLOCATED TRANSIT DAY BY THE PARTIES COORDINATED
BY IMO.
8. UPON RECEIPT OF THIS INFORMATION, VESSELS MAY PROCEED TO
THE DESIGNATED WAITING AREA WITHIN INTERNATIONAL WATERS,
WITHIN A 3 NM RADIUS OF POSITION 26-16.17N/055-46.52E.
9. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DESIGNATED WAITING AREA, VESSELS
SHALL CONTACT THE RELEVANT COASTAL STATE OF THEIR SELECTED
ROUTE TO CONFIRM THAT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS PERMIT THEM TO PROCEED.
FOR THE SULTANATE OF OMAN, VESSELS SHALL ALSO RE-CONTACT RADIO
STATION "A4N" ON VHF CH. 16 WHEN 1 NM FROM THE FIRST WAYPOINT BELOW.
FOR THE SULTANATE OF OMAN, THE ROUTES THAT HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED
FOR EASTBOUND TRANSIT ONLY ARE AS FOLLOWS:
A. 26-02.72N 056-00.68E
B. 26-22.56N 056-16.93E
C. 26-24.35N 056-23.00E

E. 26-22.10N 056-33.42E
F. 26-00.00N 056-33.30E
10. EACH SHIPOWNER AND MASTER REMAINS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING
AN INDEPENDENT RISK ASSESSMENT PRIOR TO VOYAGE.
11. VESSELS SHALL ENSURE AIS IS ON WHILE TRANSITING, LRIT, WHERE
APPLICABLE, SHOULD ALSO BE USED. VESSELS SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL
INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY COASTAL STATES VIA VHF.
12. IMO WILL REPORT DAILY ON THE NUMBER OF VESSELS SAFELY DEPARTING
THE REGION.
13. VESSEL TRAFFIC MAY BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED FOR SAFETY OR
SECURITY PURPOSES, INCLUDING DECONFLICTION WITH NAVAL VESSELS.
14. VESSELS SHOULD REPORT ANY DANGER TO NAVIGATION TO THE OMAN
MARITIME SECURITY CENTRE AT (00968 91400430/[email protected]).
15. FURTHER INFORMATION ON EMERGENCY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURES
WILL BE ISSUED BY RELEVANT PARTIES COORDINATED BY THE IMO AND THE
COASTAL STATES OF THE REGION.
