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. |
|

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 Canadian Coast Guard office. |

DGPS FULLY OPERATIONAL SERVICE |
|
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) announces that the Differential Global Positioning Service (DGPS) Fully Operational Service (FOS) is available for positioning and navigation. |
|
FOS means the service will provide a DGPS broadcast using the type 9 RTCM message for pseudorange corrections at a data transmission rate of 200 baud. Refer to Radio Aids to Marine Navigation (RAMN) for estimated advertised coverage for each differential station. |
|
Users are also advised that differential corrections are based on the NAD 83 datum position of the reference station antenna and positions obtained using DGPS should be referenced to this coordinate system only. DGPS receivers must be set to the WGS 84 datum in order to obtain optimum positioning accuracy. |

| DGPS RECEIVER - WARNING |
|
The Canadian Coast Guard's Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) broadcast contains built in health information designed to alert a DGPS user receiver of an out of tolerance or fault condition. During testing, it was found that some user DGPS receivers did not process the health information properly. Improper processing by a user equipment can result in incorrect positions. |
|
Please contact your DGPS manufacturer or supplier to ensure that your receiver is capable of processing the DGPS Reference Station Health information correctly. |
| DGPS USER ALERT |
|
The Canadian Coast Guard received reports in March 97 of DGPS receivers apparently ignoring the broadcast alarm which should signal the immediate discontinuation of a particular satellite correction. Reports indicate that some user equipment does not properly recognize this "do-not-use" correction flag and as a result erroneously processes it as a correction. This can result in position errors as large as 15 kilometers while the receiver is in DGPS mode. DGPS users are advised that they should contact the manufacturer of their equipment immediately to determine if they require a receiver upgrade. |
| DGPS station anomaly report / Rapport d'anomalie des stations DGPS |
|
With the purpose of constantly evaluating the quality of the DGPS service offered, the Canadian Coast Guard is providing the mariner with the following anomaly report. This report will allow us to get well-supported information concerning the anomaly and thus, will facilitate the identification of the origin of the problem. Please fill accordingly each section of this report and forward it by the suggested ways. You will find a legend at the end of this document. |
Avec le souci d'évaluer constamment la qualité du service DGPS offert, la Garde côtière met à la disposition du navigateur le présent rapport d'anomalie. Ce rapport servira à bien documenter l'anomalie et, de ce fait, facilitera l'identification ou la recherche de la source du problème. Nous vous prions de bien remplir chaque section de ce rapport et de l'acheminer de la façon suggérée. Vous trouverez une légende à la fin de ce document.

SECTION 1 – Edition 08/2007
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 - 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:

CALL 1-800-545-7661 TO REPORT AN ILLNESS ON BOARD
Requirements for Advance Reporting under the new Quarantine Act
Background
Canada's new Quarantine Act [ SC 2005, c.20. Proclaimed in force, December 12, 2006.] came into force on December 12, 2006. The new Act replaces the previous Quarantine Act. [ R.S. 1985, c.Q-1.] The purpose of the new Act is to protect public health by taking comprehensive measures to prevent the introduction and spread of communicable diseases.
Section 34: Requirements for Conveyance Operators
Bill C-42, which amended the Quarantine Act by creating a new section 34, came into force on June 22, 20073 . This new section requires the operator of a conveyance used in the business of carrying persons or cargo, as soon as possible before the conveyance arrives at its destination in Canada, to inform a quarantine officer or cause a quarantine officer to be informed of any reasonable grounds to suspect that:
(a) any person, cargo or other thing on board the conveyance could cause the spreading of a communicable disease listed in the schedule;
(b) a person on board the conveyance has died; or
(c) any prescribed circumstances exist.
If it is not reasonably possible for a conveyance operator to inform a quarantine officer prior to arrival, notification must occur on the conveyance's arrival at its destination in Canada. In the case of conveyances arriving by land, "destination" is interpreted to mean a border crossing.
Once a quarantine officer is informed, border authorities will be alerted and preparations made to assess any travellers who may be a risk to public health. In the case of conveyances, cargo or other thing on board which may be contaminated or infested with vectors, the quarantine officer will inform an environmental health officer who may apply public health measures.
Attached to this bulletin is a Fact Sheet with Questions and Answers that will assist conveyance operators to comply with this legal obligation.
Please ensure that all relevant parties have ready access to this information. Please emphasize to them the importance of their role in preventing communicable diseases from crossing our borders.
Further Information
Electronic copies of the new Quarantine Act (prior to its amendment by Bill C-42) can be accessed through the following website:
