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 2024. The source supply and the prices effective at the time of printing are listed.

Explanatory Notes – Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS)
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
*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.

*505/23Canadian Hydrographic Service – Magnetic Declination Calculations
(Recurrent publication of notice *505/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Western Edition 05/2023 publication.)
Mariners are advised that CHS has adopted the harmonized World Magnetic Model (WMM), as found on the NCEI/NOAA website. Old compass rose declination information on CHS navigational products can be updated using this website: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/magcalc.shtml#declination. While the differences in the model declinations are small each year, they can become more significant over a large period of time.
*1004/23Transport Canada – British Columbia North Coast Waterway Management Guidelines
(Recurrent publication of notice *1004/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Western Edition 10/2023 publication.)
Reference: Notice *905/22 is cancelled.
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.
*1207/23Canadian Hydrographic Service – Inappropriate Geographical Names Review Process
(Recurrent publication of notice *1207/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Western Edition 12/2023 publication.)
The records of the Canadian Hydrographic Service could contain geographical names that may be considered inappropriate, offensive and derogatory. Geographical naming authorities are in the process of addressing many offensive place names, the review process is underway. For more information, about inappropriate geographical names, please see the following announcement.

4.2.6Procedure for Responding to DSC Distress Alerts by Ships
(MSC.1/Circ.1657)
1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its 106th session (2 to 11 November 2022), approved the revised Procedure for responding to DSC distress alerts by ships, as set out in the annex, prepared by the Sub-Committee on Navigation, Communications and Search and Rescue (NCSR), at its ninth session (21 to 30 June 2022).
2 This circular contains a procedure to be followed by radio personnel on board ships when responding to VHF, MF and HF distress alerts, in accordance with chapter IV of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974. Flow diagrams 1 and 2 in the annex are recommended to be displayed on ships' bridges as A4 size posters.
3 Member Governments are invited to bring the annexed Procedure to the attention of seafarers and all other parties concerned.
4 This circular becomes effective on 1 January 2024, superseding COMSAR/Circ.25 as from that date.
1.Introduction
This document provides a procedure for responding to VHF, MF
and HF distress alerts, given in flow diagrams 1 and 2, which
are recommended to be displayed on the ship's bridge as A4 size
posters. It also provides the following guidance.
2.Distress
relays
2.1Radio personnel serving on ships should be made aware of the consequences of transmitting a distress call relay and of routeing a DSC distress alert relay to destinations other than coast stations (CS).
2.2The number of unintended activations of DSC distress alerts and DSC distress alert relays creates extra workload and confusion for (M)RCCs and also causes delay in the response-time. The original distress alert from a ship in distress should not be disrupted by other ships, by transmitting a DSC distress alert relay.
2.3Recommendation ITU-R M.541 on Operational procedures for the use of digital selective-calling equipment in the maritime mobile service identifies only two situations in which a ship would transmit a distress call relay (distress alert relay):
.1 on receiving a distress alert on an HF channel, which is not
acknowledged by a coast station within five minutes. The
distress call relay should be addressed to the appropriate
coast station (annex 1, paragraph 3.4.2 and annex 3, paragraph
6.1.4); and
.2 on knowing that another ship in distress is not itself able
to transmit the distress alert and the master of the ship
considers that further help is necessary. The distress call
relay should be addressed to "all ships" or to the appropriate
coast station (annex 3, paragraph 1.4).
2.4In no case is a ship permitted to transmit a DSC distress alert relay on receipt of a DSC distress alert on either VHF or MF channels.
2.5Distress calls relay on HF channels should be initiated manually.
2.6Compliance with operational and technical provisions above would prevent transmissions of inappropriate distress calls relay.
3.All coast stations call
3.1Recommendation
ITU-R M.493-9 on Digital selective-calling systems for use in
the maritime mobile service provides for "group calls" an
address consisting of the characters corresponding to the
station's Maritime Mobile Service identity (MMSI) and a number of
administrations have already assigned a "group call" MMSI to
their coast stations in addition to the coast station's
individual MMSI.
3.2.By
multilateral agreements, a "group call" MMSI could be assigned
to all coast stations of a specific region, e.g., an RCC area
and could comply with IMO's requirement without need of
introducing further modifications to GMDSS equipment.
3.3An
alternative method to implement an "all coast stations" call
without the need to modify Recommendation ITU-R M.493 could be
to use the reserved MMSI worldwide as an address for all coast
stations, in accordance with Recommendation ITU-R M.585 on
Assignment and use of identities in the maritime mobile
service. However, this solution is not applicable to MF or
HF coast stations and would also require a modification of the
set-up at each VHF coast station participating in the GMDSS.
4.Authorization
It should be noted that on ships, distress alerts, distress acknowledgements and distress relay calls can only be transmitted with permission of the Master of the ship.
5.Flow diagrams
5.1The
simplified flow diagrams 1 and 2 describe actions to be taken
aboard ships upon receipt of distress alerts from other ships.
Administrations distribute these flow diagrams to ships and
training institutions.
5.2Member
Governments are invited to bring the above guidance and the
attached flow diagrams to the attention of their shipowners,
seafarers, coast stations, JRCCs/MRSCs and all others
concerned.

CS: Coast Station
JRCC: Joint Rescue Coordination Center
Notes:
Note 1: Appropriate or relevant JRCC/MRSC and/or Coast Station shall be informed accordingly. If further DSC distress alerts are received from the same source and the ship in distress is beyond doubt in the vicinity, a DSC acknowledgement may, after consultation with a JRCC/MRSC or Coast Station, be sent to terminate the call.
Note 2: In no case is a ship permitted to transmit a DSC distress relay call on receipt of a DSC distress alert on either VHF channel 70 or MF Channel 2187.5 kHz.

CS: Coast Station
JRCC: Joint Rescue Coordination Center
Notes:
Note 1: If it is clear the ship or persons in distress are not in the vicinity and/or other crafts are better placed to assist, superfluous communications which could interfere with search and rescue activities are to be avoided. Details should be recorded in the appropriate logbook.
Note 2: The ship should establish communications with the station controlling the distress as directed and render such assistance as required and appropriate.
Note 3: Distress relay calls should be initiated manually.
