IMPORTANCE OF THE STRAITS
• Crucial waterway for global seaborne trade• 40% of world trade; worth US$6.8 Billion /annum• 50% of world oil trade• Economical lifeline to the littoral states; coastal communities• A major shipping route for petroleum and oil tankers, More
than 75,000 ships ply Straits per annum (2008)• A unique, tropical estuarine environment rich in renewable
and nonrenewable natural resources(525,906 tonnes fish landing in 2005, Malaysia Fishery Statistics)
• Coastal and marine tourist/recreation activities throughout the coastal areas of SOM

RISK GOVERNANCE IN CRITICAL GLOBAL
INFRASTRUCTURE (CGI)
• Increase in shipping traffic > 6.2%/year
• Risk of collision increases with increase in traffic
• As a first appraisal for Risk Governance, the Carrying Capacity to be determined
6th MIMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE STRAITS OF MALACCA"CHARTERING THE FUTURE" 14
CARRYING CAPACITY
• The ability of a system to support an activity or feature without causing any damage to the system while allowing for self rejuvenation (UNEP,1996)
• The ability could support a positive natural increase in a system based on the system limitation (Johnson&Thomas,1996).

CARRYING CAPACITY FACTORS
6th MIMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE STRAITS OF MALACCA"CHARTERING THE FUTURE" 16
CARRYING CAPACITY-QUEUING MODEL
• Carrying Capacity= Maximum Arrival rate*24*365
• Arrival Rate=(Level of Service & Traffic Flow Rate)
6th MIMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE STRAITS OF MALACCA"CHARTERING THE FUTURE" 17
WAITING TIME; TRAFFIC FLOW RATE
– Sufficient time for a vessel to pass SOM and use its facilities, Waiting time depends on LOS and Arrival rate ;
W=
• TFR is the study of interactions between vehicles, drivers and infrastructure with the aim of understanding and developing an optimal transport network with efficient movement.(Ref:HCM,2006)

CARRYING CAPACITY FIGURES
• Arrival rate at(TFR=0.27)= 7vessel/hour
C.C=7*24*365*2= 122,640 vessel/year
• MIMA projected 122,640 vessels in 2024
• World Bank predicted 122,500vessels in 2025
• JITI* projected 140,000 vessels in 2020
*Japan International Transport Institute
6th MIMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE STRAITS OF MALACCA"CHARTERING THE FUTURE" 21
IMPLICATIONS
• Congestion will start when number of ships reach the Carrying Capacity of 122,640 annually (predicted be in 2024)
• Urgent need for a traffic system to avoid accidents/catastrophy
• Governance strategies required to ensure that transit through the Straits is maintained.
• Urgent study of risk assessment and risk management in SOM required
226th MIMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE STRAITS OF MALACCA"CHARTERING THE FUTURE"

RISK MATRIX
Risk =Probability*Consequence
• To facilitate the ranking and validation of ranking, it is generally recommended to define consequence and probability indices on a logarithmic scale
Log (risk)=Log (Probability) + Log( Consequence)
Risk index= Frequency Index + Severity index

STEPS OF CRITICAL GOVERNANCE STRATEGIES
•Vision•Principle•Objectives•Action plans
CRITICAL GOVERNANCE STRATEGIES
• Cooperative Mechanism
• MEH
• Bosphorus Straits traffic system
• Maritime spatial planning (North sea model)
• SOMMACIS
• Or some combination of the above.
6th MIMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE STRAITS OF MALACCA"CHARTERING THE FUTURE" 27
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Carrying Capacity of SOM in 2024
• Risk analysis
• Risk governance
• Critical governance strategies
• First we need a “Vision for the Straits of Malacca”
