Temporary & Preliminary Notices are indicated by a (T) or a (P) before the chart action. Please note that Nautical charts are not hand 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.

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Mariners are advised that all relevant Written Notices to Shipping should be kept until superseded by Notices to Mariners or through revised charts issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service.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

SECTION 1 – Edition 12/2007
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

CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - Current chart edition dates.


CHART EDITIONS
The three terms described below are used to indicate the publication status of Canadian charts.
NEW CHART - "NEWCHT"
The first publication of a Canadian chart embracing an area not previously charted to the scale shown, or embracing an area different from any existing Canadian chart.
NEW EDITION - "NEWEDT"
A new issue of an existing chart containing amendments essential to navigation in addition to those issued in Notice to Mariners and making existing editions obsolete.
REPRINTS
A new issue of the current edition of a chart incorporating no amendments of navigational significance other than those previously promulgated in Notice to Mariners. It may also contain amendments from other sources provided they are not essential to navigation. Previous printings of the current edition remain in force.

The current chart edition dates can now be accessed at http://www.chs-shc.gc.ca/pub/en/products/core.cfm

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:

SECTION 4 – Edition 12/2007
SAILING DIRECTIONS AND SMALL CRAFT GUIDE CORRECTIONS

British Columbia, Volume 1, Seventeenth Edition, 2004 -

Chapter 1 - Paragraph 60, line 2 - after "entrance of the Strait,"
Insert: Race Rocks South Cautionary light buoy "VF",
(P2007-29.01)

Chapter 3 - After paragraph 649
Insert: 649.1 Caution. - Recent repeat hydrographic surveys (2007) have revealed that depths at the head of Squamish Harbour are subject to large and rapid changes.
649.2 The area 0.3 mile SW of Squamish Terminals is particularly affected. Material deposited by the Squamish River can reduce depths by as much as 1 m per week. This build up can continue for several months, and may be followed by an underwater landslide that results in depths suddenly 20 - 30 m deeper. These changes occur too rapidly to be effectively charted.
649.3 Use extreme caution in these areas particularly when approaching Squamish Terminals Berth 2.
(P2007-28.01)

Chapter 3 - Paragraph 677, lines 3 to 8
Delete: "Caution. - Considerable silting ... to occur."
(P2007-28.02)

Chapter 5 - Paragraph 61, lines 2 and 3
Delete: 20.7 m from a skeleton tower 16.2 m high
Replace by: 15.1 m from a grey skeleton tower
(P2007-27.01)

Chapter 9 - Delete paragraph 26.
(P2007-25.01)

PAC 205- Inner Passage - Queen Charlotte Sound to Chatham Sound, First Edition, 2002 -

Delete: 14 feet (4.4 m) from a skeleton tower
Replace by: 16 feet (5.0 m) from a white cylindrical tower
