Explanatory Notes – Notices to Mariners (NOTMAR)
Geographical positions refer directly to the graduations of the largest scale Canadian Hydrographic Service 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 Tide (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 and Preliminary Notices to Mariners – Section 1A of Notices to Mariners
These notices are indicated by a (T) or a (P), respectively. 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. For the list of charts affected by (T) & (P) notices, please refer to the current Notices to Mariners - Monthly Summary of Temporary and Preliminary Notices publication.

Chart Corrections – Section 2 of Notices to Mariners
Corrections to nautical charts will be listed in numerical 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 and 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:
The last correction number is identified with the LNM/D or Last Notice to Mariners Number / Date.
Mariners are advised that only the most critical changes that directly affect safety to navigation are issued in “Section 2 – Chart Corrections.” 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 focal height of a light may not result in the production of a chart correction in Notices to Mariners, but may result in a correction in the List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals publication.
Note: In the case of a discrepancy between information provided on CHS charts relating to aids to navigation, and the List of Lights, Buoys and Fog Signals 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 and publications is published in Notice No. 14 of the Notices to Mariners Annual Edition 2022. The source supply and the prices effective at the time of printing are listed.

Navigational Warnings / Notices to Shipping
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is implementing a number of changes to the aids to navigation system in Canada.
These changes are advertised as Navigational Warnings, formerly called Notices to ShippingFootnote 1, that are broadcast by the CCG, and are then followed up with Notices to Mariners, then charts are updated by hand correction, reprints or new editions.
Mariners are advised that all relevant Navigational Warnings (NAVWARN) should be kept until superseded by Notices to Mariners or through revised charts issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS).
NAVWARN are accessible on the applicable regional page on the CCG Navigational Warnings website at http://nis.ccg-gcc.gc.ca.
CHS is reviewing the impact of these changes with CCG and together are preparing an action plan on the issuing of chart revisions.
For further information, contact your regional NAVWARN Issuing Desk.

SECTION 1 - GENERAL AND SAFETY INFORMATION
*401/20Transport Canada – COVID-19 Measures, Updates and Guidance
(Recurrent publication of notice *401/20, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Western Edition 04/2020 publication.)
Please refer to the link below for the latest updates to
transportation related measures taken by Transport Canada in
response to the evolving novel Coronavirus disease
(COVID-19):
https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/initiatives/covid-19-measures-updates-guidance-tc.html.

*1105/21West Coast Haida Gwaii – Voluntary Protection Zone for Shipping
(Recurrent publication of notice *1105/21, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Western Edition 11/2021 publication.)
Reference: Notice *903/21 is cancelled.
Voluntary Protection Zone for Shipping, West Coast Haida Gwaii (formerly Queen Charlotte Islands)
Haida Gwaii’s remote location, rugged coastline, variable sea
and weather conditions, and rich ecological and cultural
heritage make it vulnerable to the potential for pollution from
shipping breakdowns and accidents. Increasing the distance
vessels travel offshore can increase the amount of time
available to address propulsion, steering or other issues, and
the likelihood of a towing vessel being able to respond to a
vessel that is disabled or drifting. This in turn reduces the
risk of grounding and oil spills.
A Voluntary Protection Zone for Shipping on the West Coast of
Haida Gwaii is currently in effect. In the Voluntary
Protection Zone, commercial vessels of 500 gross tonnage or
greater shall observe a minimum distance of 50 nautical miles
offshore when transiting along the West Coast of Haida Gwaii
with the following exceptions:
–Cruise vessels, to observe a minimum 12 nm distance from shore;
–Vessels transiting between Pacific Northwest ports
(Washington, Alaska, BC), to observe a minimum 25 nm distance
from shore;
–Tugs and barges (including pushing and towing
alongside), no minimum distance; and
–Fishing vessels, no minimum distance.
The Voluntary Protection Zone for Shipping coordinates are:
54⁰ 15.436' N |
133⁰ 04.788' W |
54⁰ 17.572' N |
134⁰ 02.484' W |
54⁰ 13.614' N |
134⁰ 19.427' W |
54⁰ 11.786' N |
134⁰ 30.841' W |
53⁰ 44.036' N |
134⁰ 32.677' W |
53⁰ 11.118' N |
134⁰ 16.412' W |
52⁰ 18.483' N |
133⁰ 20.917' W |
51⁰ 24.590' N |
132⁰ 04.081' W |
51⁰ 56.158' N |
131⁰ 01.830' W |
Vessels are requested to adhere to these distances on a voluntary basis and only when it does not jeopardize the safety of navigation, the vessel, the persons aboard, and the cargo.

*206/22Transport Canada – Annual Edition of Notices to Mariners 2022 - Section A3, Notice 7A: Voyage Planning for Vessels Intending to Navigate in Canada's Northern Waters
(Recurrent publication of notice *206/22, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Western Edition 02/2022 publication.)
Transport Canada has revised notice 7A, Voyage Planning for Vessels Intending to Navigate in Canada’s Northern Waters, of the Annual Edition of Notices to Mariners to reflect Arctic Shipping Safety and Pollution Prevention Regulations (ASSPPR) and to provide further guidance on voyage planning.
*905/22Transport Canada – British Columbia North Coast Waterway Management Guidelines
(Recurrent publication of notice *905/22, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Western Edition 09/2022 publication.)
The North Coast Waterway Management Guidelines are voluntary guidelines that aim to improve safety on the water by reducing conflicts between First Nations’ marine use activities, such as fishing and shoreline harvesting, and commercial vessels on the shipping route between Kitimat and Browning Entrance. The guidelines came into effect on September 1, 2022, and will be reviewed from time to time.
The guidelines apply to all vessels navigating on the route between Kitimat and Browning Entrance, on the north coast of British Columbia. This area includes:
•Douglas Channel |
•Otter Channel |
•Wright Sound |
•Nepean Sound, and |
•Lewis Passage |
•Principe Channel |
The complete guidelines document is available at the following link:
Nothing in these guidelines replaces or changes how we apply any Canadian or international laws or regulations, including the Collision Regulations. Furthermore, nothing in these guidelines prevents or limits the master or pilot of a ship from making any decisions to protect the vessel, the crew, or the marine environment.
The guidelines include information for:
•all vessels that covers:
-inshore safety zones
-routing measures
-speed reductions
-guidelines for meeting and passing
-a special operating area in Wright Sound, and
-guidelines in case of a mechanical or electrical breakdown
•large commercial ships, including bulk carriers,
general cargo vessels, liquid bulk vessels, and passenger
vessels
•tugs and barges, and
•vessels operating in First Nations Areas of Concern where you must pay special attention to make sure local community users can transit and use the area safely.
