Dear Client: We appreciate your continued interest in receiving the Monthly Edition of Notices to Mariners. As technology evolves, the Canadian Coast Guard is looking at means to reduce printing and distribution costs while continuing to provide quality service to the marine community. Internet technology has become the primary information source worldwide for organizations and individuals to receive information and various publications. As the use of the internet grows in popularity, our organization feels it is the right time to limit our mail distribution and rely primarily on the internet for distribution of the Notices to Mariners.

You may also register online to receive an automatic e-mail notification when a new Notice to Mariners is issued against any nautical chart(s) that you frequently use. We encourage users to frequently visit the site to access all the latest Notices and related information. The Coast Guard is committed to meeting the needs of our clients.

SECTION 1 – Edition 03/2008
SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE CHART PATCHES.
CHS is introducing a new initiative with a full colour Patch on the Web. A link in the Notices to Mariners web site will be provided so clients can access the colour Patch. The colour Patch will be published in HTML and PDF format. Providing the Patches in colour (accessible to all via remote access to the Web) is an enhanced form of alternative service delivery in line with CHS strategic objectives.
Colour Web Patches are free to the mariner, and given the quality of many printers, should reproduce well. They will be available in real time all around the world which is an improvement since clients had to wait for the paper copy to be mailed.
Previously, in the Notices to Mariners (NTM) booklet, Patches were produced in full colour or a minimum of black and magenta.
Due to current budgetary constraints, Patches will now only be produced in black and white for publication in the NTM booklet.
Our level of service will change with this initiative and CHS intends to analyze market reaction to this innovation.
CHS welcomes your feedback on this new service at chsinfo@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - CUMULATIVE CHART CORRECTIONS.
The cumulative Notice to Mariners corrections for charts can now be accessed at http://www.notmar.gc.ca/search/notmar-eng.php

The three terms described below are used to indicate the publication status of Canadian charts. |
|

|

CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - PRINT ON DEMAND CHARTS - CARE AND USE.
|
Background By providing nautical charts to the public, the goal of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) is to provide services for safe navigation in a fiscally responsible manner. As a result, CHS continues to expand its portfolio of nautical paper charts that are printed using Print On Demand (POD) technology. These charts are easily recognized by their whiter paper and the coloured logo of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. This new technology enables CHS to print charts in a more efficient manner while enhancing chart content through being able to quickly add new and important information. POD technology provides customers with up-to-date charts without the historical hand-drawn corrections or glued-on patches. Additionally, this technology eliminates out-of-stock situations which arise with the traditional printing and warehousing methods. In the event of a national emergency, CHS can respond to the appropriate authorities with best available information very quickly. Care of Your POD Chart CHS encourages its customers to handle the POD charts more carefully than the traditional lithographic charts. When plotting information on POD charts, use HB pencils and apply limited pressure. Testing has suggested that an Indian gum eraser is more effective than alternatives when used on the product. This eraser is also suitable for charts printed using lithographic processes. |
CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - ARCTIC CHARTS.
Please be advised that effective February 2007 all Arctic notices will appear in both the Eastern and Western paper editions of Notices to Mariners.
Mariners may obtain all Arctic chart notices via the Canadian Coast Guard Notices to Mariners online service www.notmar.gc.ca or by contacting the Canadian Coast Guard, Notices to Mariners office at the following coordinates:
