1.
The coastal State may, where necessary having regard to the safety of navigation, require foreign ships exercising the right of innocent passage through its territorial sea to use such sea lanes and traffic separation schemes as it may designate or prescribe for the regulation of the passage of ships.
2.
In particular, tankers, nuclear-powered ships and ships carrying nuclear or other inherently dangerous or noxious substances or materials may be required to confine their passage to such sea lanes.
3.
In the designation of sea lanes and the prescription of traffic separation schemes under this article, the coastal State shall take into account:
- (a)
the recommendations of the competent international organization;
- (b)
any channels customarily used for international navigation;
- (c)
the special characteristics of particular ships and channels; and
- (d)
the density of traffic.
4.
The coastal State shall clearly indicate such sea lanes and traffic separation schemes on charts to which due publicity shall be given.
