In Europe, many TSS areas are found around the Southern part of the North Sea including the English Channel. |
As said, when sailing within a lane of a TSS that ship has to follow the general direction of the lane. |
Other TSS areas can be found in the Mediterranean Sea, western side of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific. |
In 2007, and again on June 1, 2009, NOAA changed the TSS servicing Boston to reduce vessel collisions with right whales and other whale species. |
This was the first time the IMO had changed a TSS to help protect marine mammals. |
Recommended to the Board by the TSS Nominating Committee, the program wil be modeled after the ASM Board of Trustees Student Member Program. |
