North Atlantic Track Agreement
The North Atlantic Track Agreement was an agreement in November 1898 among thirteen passenger steamship companies to use a set series of trans-Atlantic routes that stretched from the northeast of North America to western Europe for the Atlantic crossing. Following the tracks was recommended but not compulsory.

There were seven routes: three to Canada and four to New York and Boston. The two main routes are  apart to prevent collisions.

The agreement was given government recognition in the 1948 Safety-at-Sea-Convention.
