New Zealand Notices to Mariners are the authority for correcting New Zealand charts within the New Zealand area of charting responsibility as shown in Notice No. 1.

Mariners are requested to immediately inform Land Information New Zealand, Private Box 5501 Wellington, New Zealand Phone : 0800 665 463 or (04) 460-0110 Fax: (04) 460-0161 or e-mail: [email protected], of the discovery of new or suspected dangers to navigation, or shortcomings in charts and publications.

Changes or defects in aids to navigation should be reported to the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) via the nearest New Zealand Coastal Maritime Radio Station Phone : (04) 914-8380 Fax : (04) 914-8388 e-mail: [email protected].

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Charts. The notices in Section II give instructions for the correction of charts. Geographical positions refer to the largest scale chart unless otherwise stated. They are normally given in degrees, minutes and decimals of a minute, but may occasionally quote seconds for convenience when plotting from the graduation of some older- style charts. Bearings are true reckoned clockwise from 000° to 359°; those relating to lights are given as seen by an observer from seaward. Symbols referred are those shown in publication NZ 201. Alterations to depth contours, deletion of depths to make way for new detail, etc. are not mentioned unless they have some navigational significance. Blocks or notes accompanying notices in Section Il are placed after Section VI.

Temporary and Preliminary Notices. These are indicated by (T) or (P) after the notice number. A list of (T) and (P) Notices in force is published in the fortnightly Editions of Notices to Mariners. Charts are not corrected for them before issue; they should be corrected in pencil on receipt.

Light Lists. The detailed correction to the Light List is given in Section III and may not be published in the same edition as the chart correcting notice. The entire entry for each light is printed, and an asterisk (*) is shown under the column which contains an amendment. In the case of a new light, an asterisk (*) appears under all the columns. New and extensively altered entries are intended to be pasted in. It is recommended that a manuscript entry be made for all shorter corrections. It is emphasized that the List of Lights is the authority for lights and that many alterations, especially those of a temporary but operational nature, may only be promulgated as corrections to the List of Lights.

Radio Signals. When radio signals are affected by a notice the Admiralty List of Radio Signals reference number is quoted. The detailed correction to the List of Radio Signals is given in Section Vl and may be published in a later edition than the chart correcting notice.

Sailing Directions Corrections to Sailing Directions are given in Section IV. It is recommended that such corrections be kept together in a file with the latest list of those in force on top. The file can then be consulted when using the parent book to see if any notices affecting the area under consideration are extant. Corrections should not be pasted into the parent book or Supplement as corrections may be issued between closing date and issue of a new Supplement. These will be embodied in the text of the following Supplement. A summary of corrections in force will be issued in Section IV of the Fortnightly Edition at monthly intervals.

New Zealand Publications. Corrections to New Zealand Publications are given in Section IV.

Correction of Charts and Publications by the User. New Zealand Notices to Mariners contain important information and should be used to keep the specified charts and books up to date.

THE USE OF CHARTS AND ASSOCIATED PUBLICATIONS

Reliance on Charts and Associated Publications. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information on New Zealand charts and other publications, it should be appreciated that it may not always be complete and up to date. The mariner must be the final judge of the reliance to be placed on the information given, bearing in mind their particular circumstances, local pilotage guidance and the judicious use of available navigational aids.

Charts. Charts should be used with prudence: there are areas where the source data are old, incomplete or of poor quality. The mariner should use the largest scale appropriate for his particular purpose; apart from being the most detailed, the larger scales are usually corrected first. When extensive new information (such as a new hydrographic survey) is received, some months may elapse before it can be fully incorporated in published charts. On small scale charts of ocean areas where hydrographic information is, in many cases, still sparse, charted shoals may be in error as regards position, least depth and extent. Undiscovered dangers may exist, particularly away from well-established routes.

Further guidance. The Mariner’s Handbook (NP 100) gives a fuller explanation of the limitations of charts. All users should study it in their own interest.

NZ 156(P)/06 AUSTRALIA – North Coast – Torres Strait – Revised Pilotage Requirements.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority 035198 dated 10 July 2006

On 22 July 2005, the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee approved Australia’s proposal to extend, to the Torres Strait, the existing IMO approved system of pilotage within the Great Barrier Reef. Australia has operated a system of compulsory pilotage within the Great Barrier Reef since 1991.

From 06 October 2006 Australian law will make it compulsory for all vessels of 70 metres or more in overall length, and all loaded tankers, chemical tankers and liquefied gas carriers, except defence force vessels, to embark a pilot, licensed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), when making passage through Torres Strait and the Great North East channel.

The new requirements will apply to the waters between Australia’s Cape York coast and the south coast of PNG between longitudes 141° 50’E to 142° 05’E for vessels of draught 8 metres or more, and 142° 05’E to 143° 24’E for all vessels irrespective of draught.

Full details of the compulsory pilotage requirements are contained in AMSA Marine Notice 8/2006. Ship Masters, operators and owners who intend to have vessels passing through Torres Strait on or after 06 October 2006 are advised to obtain Marine Notice 8/2006. This notice is available on the AMSA internet site www.amsa.gov.au, or on request from www.public.relations.gov.au or by mail request to Manager PR, AMSA, GPO Box 2181 Canberra, ACT, Australia 2601.
