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. |
Canadian Hydrographic Service – Information Published in Section 2 Notices to Mariners - Mariners are advised that only the most critical changes that directly affect safety to navigation are issued in Chart Corrections - Section 2. This limitation is required to ensure that charts remain as clear and easy to read as possible. As a result, mariners may see minor discrepancies of a non-critical nature between information in official publications. For example, a small change in the nominal range or height of a light may not result in the production of a chart correction, in Notices to Mariners, but may result in a List of Light, Buoys and Fog Signals correction. |
In case of discrepancy between information provided on CHS charts related to aids to navigation, and the List of Light publication, the latter shall be deemed as containing the most up to date information |
Canadian Nautical Charts & Publications - A source list of Canadian Nautical Charts & Publications is published in Notice No. 14 of the Notices to Mariners Annual Edition April 2011. The source supply and the prices effective at the time of printing are listed. For current chart edition dates refer to the following web site: http://www.chs-shc.gc.ca/charts-cartes/paper-papier/index-eng.asp |
NOTE: Cette publication est aussi disponible en français. |
CHART CORRECTIONS - SECTION 2 |
Corrections to nautical charts will be listed in numeric order by chart number. Each chart correction listed applies only to that particular chart. Related charts, if any, will have their own specific correction listed separately. Users should also refer to CHS Chart 1 Symbols, Abbreviations Terms for additional information pertaining to the correction of charts. The illustration below describes the elements that will comprise a typical Section 2 chart correction. |
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 SERVICE - 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. |

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE ABOUT THE RELIABLE OPERATION OF ECDIS
ALL ECDIS. Following an announcement by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) concerning potential display anomalies in some ECDIS systems (see IMO MSC Circ 1391), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) issued an ENC Data Presentation and Performance Check in October 2011. This check is intended to assist mariners and to help determine the extent of the issues. Reports from sea received by the IHO confirm that a number of manufacturers' ECDIS fail to display some significant underwater features in the "Standard" display mode. In order that all significant objects are visible to the mariner, these ECDIS must be operated in "Full display" or "All display" mode until a software upgrade is made available by the manufacturer. Mariners are strongly recommended to use the IHO ENC Data Presentation and Performance Check issued through ENC service providers and also available directly from the IHO website (www.iho.int) to check the operation of their ECDIS and to determine whether their system is affected.

The Canadian Coast Guard national VHF-DSC (digital selective calling) network controlled by MCTS centres can process VHF-DSC "Test Calls" from vessels provided that the marine radio meets the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard Recommendation M.493-11 (or higher) "Digital selective-calling system for use in the maritime mobile service".
The Canadian Coast Guard VHF-DSC equipment is configured to automatically acknowledge VHF-DSC test calls within seconds of receipt provided that the MCTS centre VHF-DSC equipment is not processing higher priority DSC calls.

7) →VHF-DSC Test Calls
Effective January 2011, the Canadian Coast Guard VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) network controlled by MCTS centres was upgraded to include a "Test Call" feature, providing mariners whose marine radio meets standards identified in ITU M 493-11 (or higher) DSC Systems for use in Maritime Mobile Service, with a means to verify the functionality of these radios.
The VHF-DSC equipment at MCTS centres has been configured to automatically acknowledge VHF-DSC test calls within seconds of receipt provided that the MCTS centre is not processing higher priority DSC calls.
Consult Part 2 - Facilities Information for the Maritime Mobility Service Identity (MMSI) numbers required to make a digital test call to an MCTS centre.
