Next time you are navigating in the Singapore Strait, just imagine if there was no traffic Separation scheme in that area.
Or imagine crossing the Dover Strait without the presence of any Traffic separation zone.
It would be chaos.
The increase in accidents would be many folds.
And you would say Hell no, it is so difficult to navigate with TSS in these areas, leave alone navigating without TSS.
I could not agree more.
There are 205 plus Traffic Separation Schemes adopted by the IMO which suggests that even if you have been sailing for only a couple of years, you would still have been in a TSS.
