看看剛出爐的國際海事組織(IMO)第101次安全委員會的決議事項中,有多少我們無法置身事外的焦點:
• Adopt new traffic separation schemes (TSSs) and associated routeing measures and of precautionary areas with recommended directions of traffic flow in the Sunda and Lombok Straits, Indonesia, to minimize the risk of collision between ships and grounding.
• Adopt draft amendments to the Recommendations on navigation through the English Channel and the Dover Strait (resolution A.475(XII), related to the termination of the voluntary movement ship reporting system MAREP.
• Approve a Procedure for the submission of documents containing proposals for the establishment of, or amendments to, ships' routeing systems or ship reporting systems.
• Approve draft liaison statements to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on maritime radio communication issues and approve the draft IMO position on maritime radiocommunication matters for submission to the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19), to be held in November 2019.
• Approve draft amendments to Maritime Safety Information (MSI)-related instruments to accommodate amendments to SOLAS adopted in 2018 (entering into force on 1January 2020) provide for new mobile satellite services recognized by IMO to be used in the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), and allow the broadcast of MSI to a defined geographical area through those newly recognized services, in addition to the existing Inmarsat services., to be effective from 1 January 2020. (MSI includes navigational and meteorological warnings, meteorological forecasts and other urgent safety-related messages broadcast to ships). The draft amendments relate to, International SafetyNET Manual (MSC.1/Circ.1364/Rev.1), Promulgation of maritime safety information (resolution A.705(17), as amended), World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (resolution A.706(17), as amended), IMO/WMO Worldwide Met-Ocean Information and Warning Service guidance document (resolution A.1051(27)).
• Consider a draft Iridium SafetyCast service manual and note information provided by IMSO in relation to the implementation of the recognized maritime mobile satellite services provided by Iridium Satellite LLC.
(1)台灣之海上風力發電正一步步地推展之中,在西岸一片風場之中為了海上航行安全將規劃出一條8海里寬雙向航行的”分道航行巷道”(traffic separation schemes TSSs ),
在彰化與澎湖之間的狹窄水域中,除了航行船隻隻密度極大之外,每年中又有東北季風,颱風,及西南季風灌注於此”喇叭口”中, 加上11月到3月間之”霧季”及橫衝直闖的漁船,對於風力發電者而言是不可多得的”風場”,但是對於海上航行的各類船隻來說將是一場畢業考,這個新設的”分道航行制”,將不止於是國內的議題,如何透過國際海事組織(IMO)將之公諸於世?這將是一個不折不扣的國際性議題!
(2)在此TSS之中是否應對超大型船隻及危險品船隻採取強制的"船舶通報系統”(Ship Reporting Syatem MAREP)?
(3)如何將此船舶分流(TSS)及預報(MAREP)系統的程序與相關文件透過國際海事組織規範並刊印公告?
(4)在颱風及濃霧之際,如何將此地海上氣象,海況或是航安訊息通過A.705(17),A706(17)及A.1051(27)等建議手冊以廣播的方式納入於MSI中?
台灣海峽不管是大陸所稱的內國水域;或如西方列強所稱之國際水域,對於航行安全來說都是大家共有的事,尤其是意外發生之後的油汙,台灣都是首當其衝的受害者
