NOTICE TO USERS

MAILING LIST SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL


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. The information, supplied by the internet, has the advantage of being relayed to the mariner immediately and efficiently.

We also encourage you to visit the Notices to Mariners web site available at the following internet address www.notmar.gc.ca . This user-friendly site is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 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. Therefore, should you wish to remain on the hard-copy mailing list, we ask that you complete the following form. The renewal form is required no later than March 31 st , 2008 ; at that time any renewals not received will be removed from the hard-copy mailing list.

We thank you very much for your cooperation.

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. 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.

Please note that, in addition to the temporary and preliminary changes normally advertised as (T) and (P) Notices, there are a significant number of 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.

Monthly edition of Notices to Mariners - Notices to Mariners are issued free of charge on a monthly basis. Mariners now have a choice between specific Regional issue(s) they wish to receive. Requests to be placed on or removed from the mailing list should be made by using the form inserted on page vi of each monthly edition. Notification of changes to the mailing addresses, regional issues and/or number of copies required should also be transmitted by means of this form.

Canadian Nautical Charts & Publications - A source list of Canadian Nautical Charts & publications is published in Notice No. 14 of the current Annual Edition of Notices to Mariners. The source supply and the prices effective at the time of printing are listed. This list is periodically updated in the monthly edition of Notices to Mariners.

NOTE: Cette publication est aussi disponible en français.

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.

SECTION 1 – Edition 05/2008
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_e.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:
