Safety at sea
The North Sea is one of the busiest navigated regions in the world. In order to assure the safety of the ships, an extensive network of navigation routes have been laid, marked with buoys, lights and light houses. If there is an accident, the Coastguard offers help and Rijkswaterstaat takes care of any pollution and the wreck. Furthermore, the government has drafted an emergency plan, in which what to do in the case of a disaster. Traffic towers will soon be able to recognize every ship by the Automatic Identification System, just like with airplanes.
