India Mulls Traffic Scheme to Reduce Ship Collisions

India Mulls Traffic Scheme to Reduce Ship Collisions

Imagine busy roads at sea.

To avoid crashes, the DGS wants to create lanes for ships, called a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS), specifically near Kerala.

This helps separate ships going different ways.

They're looking at this to prevent collisions between big cargo ships and fishing boats.

The idea is to make sure everyone has a safe path and follows the rules of the sea.

They're talking to people who work on the water to make sure it's a good plan before they finalize it.

These rules are like traffic laws for ships, helping them navigate safely.
