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 D. 26-24.75N 056-31.11E 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.
