Maybe have France, Great Britain and Iberia do the neutrality patrol for individual ship and the Dutch and Thais run neutral convoys for any who want it along KKs proposed route?

How does Thailand fit into SAER? Including a nation from the region might help to absolve some fears that parties may have.

Might the neutral shipping of other nations be permitted to avail themselves of such convoy?

At the moment, convoys are not yet proven to be needed: the war posted so far has taken place solely around the Spratley Islands. Although I know OOC it will expand, that is not yet clear in-character and resorting to convoys NOW is, in my opinion, unjustified.

1. No, Convoys are * not* needed. This is a service for potential concerned Merchants. Merchant captains who wish to adjust their schedules can take advantage of it, but is rather up to them. Further, escorts can hold cargo manifests and certify that no contraband to belligerants is being transported and so avoid stop and search actions.
The Dutch have dedicated escort squadrons for this type of thing. With 40 escorts available, small convoys with 4 escorts can run on a regular schedule. By informing the Chinese and Filipinos of the routes and times, potential incidents should be avoided.
2. If incidents do occur, it will not be a mysteriously vanished merchant, but an attack on a clearly identified and disclosed military force with dire potential repercussions.

The RN will police its own convoy from Singapore to Hong Kong for purely British registered ships at present but probably opening the convoy ot other nations later on when the risks can be properly measured.

Why are the Philippine carrier pilots still using A5Ms? Swampy ordered I-01Ns from Argentina to replace them, I thought...

Shin,
Yes it would cover Canadian and Australian merchants too.
Brock, I don't remember Swampy ordering any I-01Ns nor any discussions about doing so.
If its vital for the story we could backdate an order.
