1.0 MALACCA STRAITS Depths/Widths
The Usual Route for VLCC’s from Middle East to East Asia
Northern half has deep water, but Southern
half has a 2-Lane ship routeing system
(known as traffic separation scheme TSS)
It is the longest stretch of such a TSS in the
world, extending 263 sea miles !
Depths on Eastbound Lane are 23.0 metres, Westbound Lane 16.0 metres

INTERTANKO ASIAN PANEL MEETING 2002
1.1 MALACCA STRAITS Depths/Widths
Two Deep Water routes in Eastbound Lane where not possible to have 23.0 metres depth
Average VLCC is 330 metres long.
Large vessels need to navigate between narrows One Fathom Bank Beacons (1400 metres) Takong Beacons (800 metres)
West bound lane Singapore Strait (530 metres)
Once a fully laden VLCC enters the TSS from west, she has to complete the passage; there is no turning back !
