A6Charts and Publications

13Navigation Safety Regulations, 2020, and Provisional List of Charts

The Navigation Safety Regulations, 2020 require all ships in waters under Canadian jurisdiction, to have on board, maintain and use appropriate charts, tide tables, lists of lights and other nautical publications issued by or on the authority of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. An up-to-date list of Canadian charts and nautical publications is available online in the Monthly Edition of Notices to Mariners at Notices to Mariners or Nautical charts.

ACCEPTANCE OF NAUTICAL PUBLICATIONS IN ELECTRONIC FORM IN CANADA

The Navigation Safety Regulations, 2020 (NSR 2020) require the carriage and use of charts and nautical publications. Many nautical publications in Canada are now available in electronic form and can be downloaded from the Internet in PDF (Chart 1 – Symbols, Terms and Abbreviations, chart catalogues, Notices to Mariners (NOTMAR), Sailing Directions, List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals, Annual Edition of Notices to Mariners, Radio Aids to Marine Navigation, CCG Ice Navigation in Canadian Waters). Some vessels may carry publications in electronic form issued by another Administration (i.e., Admiralty Digital Publications) as per NSR 2020 Division 6.

IMO circular entitled IMO requirements on carriage of publications on board ships (MSC-MEPC.2/Circ.2) allows electronic publications provided they have been issued by the IMO, an Administration or an organization authorized by an Administration. The electronic document should also “be treated in accordance with the document control procedures in the ship’s SMS including procedures for timely update.” However, as an exception, IMO does require the International Code of Signals and the IAMSAR - Volume III must be always available in hard copy to ensure accessibility and portability for emergency use.

Under SOLAS, charts and nautical publications in electronic form can be used to meet SOLAS V carriage requirements provided suitable back-up arrangements are in place.

The NSR 2020 provide detailed requirements for nautical publications. Electronic nautical publications must meet the same requirements as the hard copies.

For example:

oThe publication must be published, or issued, by the appropriate authority,

oThe publication must be complete for the area to be navigated and up to date.

The electronic publication shall be readily available to the Officer of the Watch (OOW) at all times and viewable on the navigation bridge.

There should be an appropriate back-up onboard. The primary system should have an emergency source of power.

Updates should be applied to both the primary and back-up system as soon as practical. When in port, they should be applied prior to passage planning and commencement of the voyage.

As the publications required by the NSR 2020 must be on board, simply being able to access the publications through the internet would not be considered on board and therefore not acceptable. However, publications downloaded and saved on board or hard copies printed from official internet sources would be acceptable.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE ABOUT THE RELIABLE OPERATION OF ALL ECDIS

The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved a consolidated guidance circular MSC.1./Circ.1503, the ECDIS - Guidance for Good Practice, concerning maintenance and potential display anomalies in ECDIS systems. An electronic copy of this circular can be downloaded from the Organization's website at IMO -Circular.

ECDIS Data Presentation and Performance Check for Mariners

In accordance with the guidance provided by the International Maritime Organization in Circular MSC.1/Circ.1503 as amended, ECDIS systems are expected to operate with Edition 4.0 of the IHO ECDIS Presentation Library from 1 September 2017.

An ECDIS type approval certificate showing conformance with tests in Edition 4.0 of IEC 61174 demonstrates that the ECDIS operates with Edition 4.0 of the IHO ECDIS Presentation Library and therefore that the ECDIS does not have any of the identified ENC display anomalies.

An ECDIS type-approved in accordance with previous editions of IEC 61174 should also be operating with Edition 4.0 of the IHO ECDIS Presentation Library. If not it should be updated in order to comply with IMO guidance and to be free of any identified ENC display anomalies.

The subsequent guidance here describes the method by which mariners may check the ECDIS displays for the new ENC symbols contained in Edition 4.0 of the Presentation Library. The checks should be run at least once after installing an ECDIS.  A re-run is recommended only after a software update, system upgrade or change of equipment. 

If you detect any anomaly in the display, please contact the provider of the ECDIS and inform the IHO at info@iho.int.

PROVISIONAL LIST OF CHARTS

1This list is issued for reference in conjunction with the Navigation Safety Regulations (2020) to assist mariners navigating Canadian waters or Fishing Zones when proceeding to or from the ports indicated. It is also used by Transport Canada, Marine Safety and Security Inspectors in enforcing primarily by spot checks the Navigation Safety Regulations (2020) and when conducting Port State control inspections.

2The list is based on the latest information available at the time of publication. The national chart catalogues available at Nautical Charts or at an authorized CHS chart dealer, and Notices to Mariners must be consulted for information on the latest chart editions, new charts, and chart cancellations. Charts must be corrected from all pertinent information available before being used in the navigation of a ship.

3Any chart listed on the same line as the Canadian chart may be used as an equivalent in the immediate area concerned except those charts marked REFERENCE, which are to be used for reference purposes only because their chart scale does not comply with that required by the Regulations.

4The list will be published yearly and updated by Notices to Mariners.
