Port Access Routes: Approaches to Delaware Bay

The Coast Guard is publishing the results of a port access route study which evaluated the need for changes to the traffic separation scheme and precautionary area in the approaches to Delaware Bay. The study concluded that the eastern approach lanes of the traffic separation scheme should be adjusted and a two-way route for use by tug and tow traffic should be established to separate tug and tow traffic from large, inbound vessel traffic. The study also concluded that the precautionary area needed to be reconfigured to exclude shoal areas too shallow for deep draft vessels. However, the existing southeastern approach should remain as presently configured.
