Extract

Whereas almost everyone seems to be agreed that a system of routing ships in the Strait of Dover offers the best solution to reducing the tragic wastage of life and ships that occurs each year in these congested waters, opinions differ on the system of routing that should be adopted.

A Working Group sponsored by the British, French and German Institutes of Navigation has considered the problem and their report has been published in the Journal. They recommended that the navigational aids in the area should be revised and that ships should be advised, by means of Sailing Directions and Notices to Mariners &c., to follow the tracks shown in Fig. 1.
