Dear Colleagues,
From the Maritime Port Authority notices, Singapore is
intensively reclaimed some of the island namely Pulau
Tekong and Pulau Ubin.Those islands were very closed
to the existing maritime boundaries of Malaysia and
Singapore in the Straits of Johore.Both countries has
agreed to delimit the boundaries in 1995 based on the
principle of the deepest channel in the Straits of
Johor. There were a possibility that the reclamation
will affected and altered the deepest channelin the
straits. In this regards, I would like to get some
information if there are any similar cases particulary
reclamations that affected the boundaries in the
narrow straits to the opposite coastal states and what
others sea reclamations impact. (environment, etc)
Best regards
