EXPLANATORY NOTES

Geographical positions refer directly to the graduations of the largest scale Canadian Hydrographic chart unless otherwise indicated.

Bearings  refer to the true compass and are measured clockwise from 000° (North) clockwise to 359°; those relating to lights are from seaward.

Visibility of lights is that in clear weather.

Depths  - The units used for soundings (metres, fathoms or feet) are stated in the title of each chart.

Elevations  are normally given above Higher High Water, Large Tides unless otherwise indicated.

Distances  may be calculated as follows:

1 nautical mile = 1 852 metres (6,076.1 feet)

1 statute mile = 1 609.3 metres (5,280 feet)

1 metre = 3.28 feet

Temporary & Preliminary Notices are indicated by a (T) or a (P) before the chart action and in the section 1. Please note that Nautical charts are not amended by the Canadian Hydrographic Service for Temporary (T) and Preliminary (P) Notices. It is recommended that mariners chart these corrections in pencil. Listing of charts affected by Temporary and Preliminary Notices are revised and promulgated quarterly in Section 1 of the Monthly Edition .

Please note that, in addition to the temporary and preliminary changes normally advertised as (T) and (P) Notices, there are a few permanent changes to navigational aids that have been advertised as Preliminary Notices to Mariners while charts are being updated for new editions.

Marine Information Report & Suggestion Sheet -  Mariners are requested to notify the responsible authorities when new or suspected dangers to navigation are discovered, changes observed in aids to navigation or corrections to publications are seen to be necessary. Such communications can be made using the Marine Information Report & Suggestion Sheet inserted on the last page of each monthly edition of Notices to Mariners.

ADVISORY


NOTICES TO SHIPPING (WRITTEN AND BROADCAST)



The Canadian Coast Guard is implementing a number of changes to the aids to navigation system in Canada .


These changes are advertised as Notices to Shipping (Broadcast and Written) by the Canadian Coast Guard and are followed up with Notices to Mariners, then charts are updated by hand correction, reprints or new editions.


Mariners are advised that all relevant Written Notices to Shipping should be kept until superseded by Notices to Mariners or through revised charts issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service.


Written Notices to Shipping are published weekly and are available from local Canadian Coast Guard Offices.


The Canadian Hydrographic Service is reviewing the impact of these changes with the Canadian Coast Guard and together we are preparing an action plan on the issuing of chart revisions.


For further information contact your local Regional Notices to Shipping (Notships) issuing authorities.

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 SERVICES - TRANSPORT CANADA NAVIGATION SAFETY - ECDIS

Mariners are advised that ECDIS may not display some isolated shoal depths when operating in "base or standard display" mode. Route planning and monitoring alarms for these shoal depths may not always be activated. To ensure safe navigation and to confirm that a planned route is clear of such dangers, mariners should visually inspect the planned route and any deviations from it using ECDIS configured to display "all data". The automated voyage planning check function should not be solely relied upon.

1 Hudson Strait and Canadian Arctic 

ARCTIC CANADA TRAFFIC SYSTEM (NORDREG CANADA)

Mariners should be aware of the existence of the Arctic Canada Traffic System (NORDREG CANADA) and the advantages of reporting to this system, which is a voluntary Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system covering the waters of Ungava Bay, Hudson Bay and James Bay south of the parallel of 60° North Latitude and the waters to which the Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act applies. Ice operations support to NORDREG is provided through the Regional Operations Centre in Sarnia (ON). Icebreaker assistance, when requested, may be arranged through the Ice Operations Officer. For more detailed information on this VTS system, the definition of waters it covers and the requirements to make certain reports and obtain clearance, mariners should refer to Part 3 of the Radio Aids to Marine Navigation (Atlantic, St. Lawrence, Great Lakes, Lake Winnipeg and Eastern Arctic).

Northern Canada Vessel Traffic Services (NORDREG) Zone

Mariners should be aware of the existence of the Northern Canada Vessel Traffic Services Zone established by the Northern Canada Vessel Traffic Services Zone Regulations. These regulations require certain vessels to report information to NORDREG before entering the NORDREG Zone and while navigating within it. In general, the NORDREG zone covers the waters of Ungava Bay, Hudson Bay and James Bay and Canada's coastal northern waters within the area enclosed by the 60th parallel of north latitude, the 141st meridian of west longitude and the outer limit of the exclusive economic zone; however, where the international boundary between Canada and Greenland is less than 200 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea of Canada, the international boundary shall be substituted for that outer limit.

Ice operations support to NORDREG is provided by the Canadian Coast Guard. Icebreaker assistance as well as ice information and ice routing should be requested through NORDREG. For more detailed information on this VTS system, the definition of waters it covers and the requirements to make certain reports and obtain clearance, mariners should refer to Part 3 of the Radio Aids to Marine Navigation (Atlantic, St. Lawrence, Great Lakes, Lake Winnipeg and Eastern Arctic).

*706 MARINE COMMUNICATIONS AND TRAFFIC SERVICES (MCTS) - ESTABLISHMENT OF ARCTIC MARITIME SAFETY INFORMATION SERVICES - 5 NEW ARCTIC NAVAREAS/METAREAS 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announce the establishment of five (5) new Arctic NAVAREAs/METAREAs as part of the expansion of the IMO/IHO World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS) into Arctic waters. The limits of the new Arctic NAVAREAs/METAREAs are identified in the attached graphic. Effective 01 July 2010, an International SafetyNET Service for broadcasting navigational warnings and meteorological warnings and forecasts in the English language will be declared to be in an "Initial Operational Capability" (IOC) for these waters with a transition to "Full Operational Capability" (FOC) on 01 June 2011.

During the IOC period, these Arctic NAVAREA/METAREAs will be providing navigational warnings and meteorological warnings and forecasts on an intermittent and test basis. The broadcasting of SafetyNET messages to the new Arctic NAVAREA/METAREAs will be addressed to rectangular area(s) until the SafetyNET receiver modifications with the inclusion of the NAVAREA/METAREAs boundary limits and its identification are in place. Reception of rectangular addressed messages should be automatic providing the ship's position is inside the addressed area. However, mariners are advised to check their manufacturer's operation manuals to obtain information on the setting of their EGC receivers to receive relevant SafetyNET messages.

In December 2009, the Government of British Columbia agreed to rename the Queen Charlotte Islands, Haida Gwaii, as part of an historic reconciliation agreement between the province and the Haida Nation. The Geographical Names Board of Canada, the national body responsible for the naming of places and geographical features in Canada, confirmed that Haida Gwaii is now the official name of the Islands and will be reflected on all federal government maps.

The Canadian Hydrographic Service will be updating this name on an opportunity basis as New Products and New Editions are published.

NORDREG Zone Reports

Format

NORDREG reports shall be addressed to NORDREG CANADA and communicated either directly to NORDREG CANADA or to the nearest Canadian Coast Guard MCTS Centre. The master of a ship shall ensure that these reports are made in accordance with the stated requirements.

The information requested from the ships is derived from the standard reporting format shown in International Maritime Organization resolution A.851(20) – General Principles for Ship Reporting Systems and Ship Reporting Requirements, Including Guidelines for Reporting Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods, Harmful Substances and/or Pollutants.

Every report shall begin with the term "NORDREG" (system identifier) and be followed by whichever of the following two letters corresponds to the report:

(a) "SP", in the case of a sailing plan report;
(b) "PR", in the case of a position report;
(c) "FR", in the case of a final report;
(d) "DR", in the case of a deviation report.

The report must include the applicable designators followed by the information required in accordance with the table on page 3-8.

Content and time and geographical position for submitting reports

Vessels shall send a report as follows, and provide the information required in accordance with the table on page 3-8 that corresponds to the designators specified:

When the vessel is about to enter the NORDREG Zone

A sailing plan report (SP) shall be provided when the vessel is about to enter the NORDREG zone and must include the following designators: A, B, either C or D, E, F, G, H, I, L, O, P, Q, S, T, W, and X.

Note: Designators O, Q, T are not required when entering directly from the ECAREG Zone.

Vessels about to enter the NORDREG zone should provide the sailing plan report 24 hours in advance of entering the zone, or as soon as possible after leaving a port that is less than 24 hours from the NORDREG Zone. This ensures vessels are not delayed in obtaining a clearance from MCTS and enables MCTS to assess current conditions and prepare relevant safety information for the vessel.1

1Vessels must obtain a clearance from MCTS before entering the NORDREG zone.

Departing a berth/anchorage 

A sailing plan report (SP) shall be provided more than one hour but not more than two hours before a vessel departs from a berth within the NORDREG Zone, unless the vessel is moving to another berth in the same port. The sailing plan report must include the following designators: A, B, either C or D, H, I, L, O, P, Q, S, T, W, and X.

Note: Designators O, P, Q, S, T, W, X are not required if the corresponding information has not changed since the previous sailing plan report.

Getting Underway After an Incident

A sailing plan report (SP) shall be provided immediately before a vessels gets underway within the NORDREG Zone if the vessel; has been stranded, has stopped as a result of a breakdown in the main propulsion systems or steering systems, has been involved in a collision. The sailing plan report must include the following designators: A, B, either C or D, I, L, O, P, Q, S, T, W and X.

Note: Designators O, P, Q, S, T, W, X are not required if the corresponding information has not changed since the previous sailing plan report.

Entering at Zone Boundary

Daily

A position report (PR) shall be provided daily at 1600 UTC, unless the vessel is transmitting LRIT information. The position report shall include the following designators: A, B, either C or D, E, F, and S.

Other Situations

A position report (PR) shall be provided with designators A, B, either C or D, E, F, S and X as soon as feasible after a vessel’s master becomes aware of any of the following:

- another vessel in apparent difficulty,
- any obstruction to navigation,
- any aid to navigation that is not functioning properly or is damaged, out of position or missing.
- any ice or weather conditions that are hazardous to safe navigation
- a pollutant in the water.

Arrival at berth/anchorage

A final report (FR) shall be provided on the arrival of a vessel at a berth within the NORDREG Zone and include the following designators: A and K.

Exiting the Zone

A final report (FR) shall be provided immediately before a vessel exits the NORDREG Zone and include the following designators: A and K

Deviation Report

A deviation report (DR) shall be provided when a vessel’s position varies significantly from the position that was expected based on the sailing plan report, or when a vessel’s intended voyage changes from the sailing plan report.
