1 Past and Present Vessel Traffic through the Straits of Malacca and Singapore Trend Analysis in the Decade PRESENTED AT Kuala Lumpur Meeting on the straits of Malacca and Singapore 19 September, 2006 Kuala Lumpur Kenji NAGAMATSU Maritime Bureau Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport

2 Aim of Survey of Traffic Volume through the Straits (1) In 1960s, traffic volume of Japanese vessels was dominant. (2) Recent economic growth of Asian countries changed the situation significantly, both in total traffic volume and share of user states. (3) Estimation of traffic volume contributes to discussions about international cooperation. (Burden-Sharing) MLIT MLIT 2

3 Whole Picture of Survey (1) Estimation of 2004 traffic volume (2) Estimation of 1994 traffic volume Estimate 1994 traffic volume data based on the same method as Estimation of 2004 traffic volume Compare 2004 data with 1994 date Analyze trend (3) Forecast of the future traffic volume : scheduled to be completed early 2007 Forecast of future traffic volume by simulation This Survey is conducted by MLIT and the Nippon Foundation.

4 Method of Survey Data for 1994 and 2004, presented by LMIU (Lloyd s Marine Intelligence Unit) [Estimation route] [Estimation result] [Analysis] leaving entering

5 Concept of Traffic Volume through the Straits Passing through the Straits Going from westbound to ports in the Straits Going from ports in Straits to westbound Going From eastbound/southbound to ports in the Straits Going from ports in the Straits to eastbound/southbound

6 -1(1) Number and Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Ship types

7 -1(2) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Ship types

8 -2(1) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Flag State

9 -2(1) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Flag State

10 -3(1) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Parent Company s Nationality Parent company: If a vessel becomes a Total Loss, this is the company which would receive payment from the insurers. It is also referred to as the beneficial owner which is the person or company that has the right to sell/dispose of a ship or to transfer shares in a ship.

11 -3(2) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Parent Company s Nationality

12 -4(1) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Last calling port s Nationality before entering/passing the Straits

13 -4(2) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by Last calling port s Nationality

14 -5(1) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by First calling port s Nationality after passing/leaving the Straits

15 -5(2) Tonnage (D.W.) of vessels by First calling port s Nationality

16 Results of Survey The result shows Rapid total traffic growth in decade Japan obtains the benefits from passage of the Straits Wide range of countries receives the benefit from the Straits, such as East Asian countries, Europe countries, Middle Eastern oil producing countries The relative importance of Japan has been decreasing MLIT

17 Conclusions Various beneficiaries of passage through the Straits Steadily increase of traffic volume in the Straits Need for enhancing measure for safe navigational and environment protection A new framework for international cooperation ( Burden sharing between littoral States, user States and other stakeholders) MLIT
