- Abstract: The Straits of Malacca and Singapore are two of the busiest maritime chokepoints in the world. As straits used for international navigation categorized under Article 37 of the Law of the Sea Convention 1982 (LOSC), littoral States of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore possess no rights to deny the exercise of the transit passage regime by foreign vessels plying these Straits. As a result, the marine environment of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore is gradually affected particularly by operational discharges from vessels. This article looks at the possibility of designating the Straits of Malacca and Singapore as a "Special Area" under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978 (MARPOL 73/78). This paper concludes by recommending the most appropriate "Special Area" designation under any of the Annexes of MARPOL 73/78 for the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.

Abstract : Un mecanismo de control de la contaminación para los estrechos de Malaca y Singapur: una "zona especial" según MARPOL 73/78: Los estrechos de Malaca y Singapur son dos de los cuellos de botella marítimos más transitados del mundo. Ubicado entre los productores de petróleo del Medio Oriente y los principales consumidores de petróleo del Lejano Oriente, estos estrechos ocuparon el segundo lugar después del Estrecho de Ormuz en términos de volumen de transporte mundial de petróleo. Como resultado, el medio marino del Estrecho de Malaca y Singapur se ve afectado gradualmente en particular por las descargas operacionales de los buques. Este artículo analiza la posibilidad de designar el Estrecho de Malaca y Singapur como una 'Zona especial' en virtud del Convenio internacional para prevenir la contaminación por los buques, 1973, modificado por el Protocolo de 1978 (MARPOL 73/78) para mejorar la protección del medio marino de estas importantes vías fluviales de las pesadas actividades de transporte marítimo. Este documento concluye recomendando la designación de "Área especial" más apropiada bajo cualquiera de los Anexos del MARPOL 73/78. Abstract : 马六甲海峡与新加坡海峡的一项污染控制机制:MARPOL 73/78议定书下的一个"特殊地区": 马六甲海峡与新加坡海峡均为全球最繁忙的海上交通枢纽点。位于中东石油生产者与远东主要石油消费者之间,这两条海峡就全球石油运输量而言仅次于霍尔木兹海峡。结果则是,马六甲海峡与新加坡海峡的海洋环境逐渐被影响,尤其受船舶操作性排放的影响。本文审视了将马六甲海峡与新加坡海峡命名为《关于〈1973年国际防止船舶造成污染公约〉的1978年议定书》(简称为MARPOL 73/78议定书)下的一个"特殊地区"的可能性,旨在提升保护这两条重要航道的海洋环境不受到繁忙航运活动的影响。本文结论推荐了在MARPOL 73/78议定书的任意一条附则下都最合适的"特殊地区"命名。 … (more)
