|
| Category: Regulation | Area of Effect: Transportation | Proposed by: Terttia |
The World Assembly,
Realizing the dangers of sea travel in the absence of proper navigational tools and techniques,
Hoping to improve international safety standards on sea travel,
Hereby,
1. Defines
- "nautical routes" as routes allocated for commercial vessels to travel through a given area of sea,
- "nautical charts" as maps that show the shape of the shoreline, the underwater topography, tidal changes in water depth, nautical routes, major currents and specific localized dangers to sea travel,
- "nautical instrumentation" on a commercial vessel to include
- some way to determine one's coordinates and direction of travel,
- some way to determine the local status of tide, and
- some way to communicate with other vessels and nearest authorities
- ”commercial vessels” as non-military vessels that transport cargo and/or passengers for hire;
2. Mandates that member states
- create and frequently update nautical charts of their territorial waters and exclusive economic zone,
- share their nautical charts with commercial vessels that have the right to enter these areas;
3. Requires that all commercial vessels registered in a member nation carry and utilize up-to-date nautical charts and nautical instrumentation;
4. Mandates that all crews of commercial vessels registered in a member nation
- acquire the necessary nautical charts before leaving port,
- have their planned route pre-approved by the member states whose waters they will be traversing,
- when feasible, stay on nautical routes,
- obey the local authorities when it comes to additional temporary regulations applied to all commercial vessels in that area,
- communicate with the nearest authorities and other vessels, if they must for one reason or another depart from their pre-approved traveling plans, and
- carry nautical charts for the areas they intend to pass through.

The Beepeean jury gives "douze point" to this Resolution.
In responding the Beepeean jury stated
"I'm a lonely sailor drinking the night away, My ship is made from hope, She's searching for your bay,But you don't care."
