Shipping Safety Control Zones Order

Order Prescribing Certain Areas of the Arctic Waters as Shipping Safety Control Zones This Order may be cited as the Shipping Safety Control Zones Order. In this Order, seaward boundary means the outer limit of the exclusive economic zone of Canada. However, where the international boundary between Canada and Greenland is less than 200 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea of Canada, the international boundary shall be substituted for that outer limit. The areas of the arctic waters described in the zones set out in Schedule 1 and shown in Schedule 2, other than any rivers, lakes or other fresh waters, are hereby prescribed as shipping safety control zones.
