Article 4 Ordinary trade navigation has for its purpose the transport of goods and passengers and is subdivided into navigation on the high seas and coastal navigation. Article 5 Navigation on the high seas is undertaken by vessels outside the boundaries of the Mediterranean Sea. Article 6 Coastal navigation is undertaken by vessels between stations on the Mediterranean Sea (coasting).
