Welcome to the MEH Demonstration Project Website

On the completion of the PDF Block B (project development)  Phase of the Marine Electronic Highway (MEH) Project in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore on 31 December 2005, the Global Environment Facility (GEF)/World Bank provided a grant to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to implement the follow-on MEH Demonstration Project.

The Project aims to establish a regional mechanism in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore for enhanced maritime safety and marine environment protection with a sustainable financial component in a co-operative arrangement with the three littoral States of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore and partnership with the Republic of Korea, the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) and the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS). The Project should be appraised as a technological network and cooperative partnership that could bring about the realization of Article 43 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982).
