Becouse of differences in operoling cuhures between ship monogements, it is not olwoys possible to provide definitive

be found thot the Possoge Notes, while specific in ploces, hove gops for onboord completion. For instonce bridge ond

Tugs ond tows

There is concern obout the increosing number of long, slow moving, tug ond tow combinotions

crossing the Stroits, occurring most {requently of{ Singopore. Tows con be either poorly lit or,
in some coses, completely unlit. Additionolly, due to the length of the tow, it con be difficult to
identif.y the tug ottoched to the tow.

These croft hove contributed to o number of occidenis in the Stroits. This problem, which is olso

recognised by Singopore Porl, is covered by port regulotions restricting line-towed borges ot
night, but this only opplies inside port limits. This con moke the effect in the Siroit worse, os tug/

Weother

Fog is very.unusuol in the-Stroits. However, problems do occur with smoke hoze, reducing visibility to less thon one mile,
coused. by the cleoring of forests by fire on the lndonesion islonds in the dry seoson, roini! bet*een Augusr ond October.
This eflect is onnounced on novigotionol wornings by Novtex. WS odvisories olso oduise on the situotion.

Additionclly, heovy roin con occur ot ony time of the doy or night ond this con severely restrict visibil;ty ond, on occosion,
hove o detrimentoi effect on the rodor disploy.

t_

Roin moy. occur ot ony time. Most roinfoll comes in torrentiol showers ond ihunderstorms. These ore usuolly of short
durotion, but the roin con be very heovy, offecting visibility ond seriously impoiring the use ol rodor.

l_L/

wind is usuolly.low ond vorioble, with o high percentoge of colms. Sumotros ore line squolls thoi include thunderstorms,
usuolly occurring during the SW Monsoon (Moy to October). These squolls develop ot night over Sumotro or the Molocco
Slroit ond move eost towords Singopore ond the west coqst of peninsulor Moloysio jurino ihe pre-down ond eorly morning.
They ore often chorocterised by ihe sudden onset of. strong gusty winds ond 'h"ony r.oin" losting from I to 2 hoi.,rs os thJy

Mudqh Seloton (Rocon O) beocon ot ihe south end of Foir Chonnel Bonk ond Pulou
Pisong followed by The Brothers (Pulou lyu Kecil) oi the southern end of the leg.

Positioning

Novigotion is relotively stroightforword on this leg. The beocons on Foir Chonnel Bonk
houe-Ro.ons ond Pulqu Pisong ond The Brothers ore rodor conspicuous. While Pulou
Pisong is relotively uncleor by doy, by night its powerful light is of tremendous benefit.

Trof{ic

This leg is usuolly trouble {ree, with hoffic proceeding in ihe sqme direction. There is o
smoll risk of being overloken or of overtoking other ships ond fishing crolt con present

dif{icuhies.

When opprooching the course ollerotion off Pulou Pisong be owore thot ihe seporotion
zone is decreosing in width. leoding lo oncoming troffic opprooching within very close
proximity. This worning refers to onloming troffic stoying io the south-wesl of Foir Chonnel

Security

Pirocy wos once o very serious problem in the Shoits. ln recent yeors it hqs declined bui
there is concern ihot it moy increose ogoin so pirocy controls should be instigoted.

Contingencies

There is sufficient cleor woter to the south of the TSS for emergency onchoring. This opplies
until obeom of Tonjung Loboh. At the siort of Long Bonk there is reskicied spoce, but
onchoroge in suitoble woter depth is found immediotely odiocent to ihe south-eost bound

Reporting

Current

When obeom of Pulou Korimun Kecil chonge to VHF chqnnel 73 ond report occording

to the stondord StroitRep formot (Annex 2). Thereofbr, mointoin o listening wotch on
chonnel 73. The ship now enters WS Sector 7 within Singopore coveroge. Noie the time of
reporting in the Movement Book.
Tidol sets olong the leg vory between ihe streoms ot The Brothers (see tidol diomond <E>
on chort 3947) ond those oi the northern opprooches lo Selqt Durion (lot 1' OO'N long
103' 3r''E) - see ATT. Cross currenls ore common ond con be strong.
Ships using the DW route must monitor their position closely when executing the lorge
course olterotions ot Rocon 'D'. Possible strong tidol streoms from Selot Durion moy couse
the vessel to set towords the buoys. As the ospect of the tidol sheom offects the vessel
during the lorge turn, compensotion on the rudder ongle must be mode iudiciously to ovoid
over-swing.
This is po*iculorly importont becouse of the shollo*s to the norih of Rocon 'D'.

lhere is concern thot it moy increose ogoin so pirocy controls should be instigoied.
