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 to are those shown in publication Chart 5011(INT 1) Symbols and Abbreviations used on Admiralty Paper Charts, published by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. Alterations to depth contours, deletion of depths to make way for new detail, etc. are not mentioned unless they have some navigational significance. Block corrections 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 on the LINZ website and 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 The detailed correction to the Light List is given in Section III and may not be published in the same edition as the chart correcting notice.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.

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 Current Edition of the book to see if any notices affecting the area under consideration are extant. Corrections should not be pasted into the Current Edition of the book or Supplement.

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

Navigational Warnings (NAVAREA XIV).NAVAREA XIV Navigational Warnings that are in force at the time of publication are given in Section V.

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. It is recommended that such corrections be kept together in a file with the latest list of those in force on top. Corrections should not be pasted into the Current Edition of the book.

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.

2 I

ENC/ECDIS Data Presentation and Performance Check in Ships. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has recently indicated its concerns about operating anomalies identified in some ECDIS that fail to display important new chart features.

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) has produced an ENC Data Presentation and Performance Check dataset that allows mariners to check their ECDIS. The check dataset is available through ENC service providers and from the IHO website (www.iho.int) which includes instructions.

Mariners are strongly recommended to use the dataset and report the results of their checks to help the IHO identify how the different brands of ECDIS display and handle chart information. Mariners are asked to also inform the IMO, national Hydrographic Offices, ECDIS manufacturers and others, so that they can take any corrective action that may be necessary.

In order to present the most comprehensive report possible to the IMO and to further assist in resolving the issues so far identified, the IHO is keen that as many ships as possible forward their results. Reports on the results can be sent via a form provided with the data or the results can be submitted on-line through a web-form.

All relevant documentation can be downloaded free from the IHO website at: www.iho.int

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTE

Forwarding Information for Charts and Hydrographic Publications

Note: An acknowledgement of receipt will be sent and the information then used to the best advantage, which may mean immediate action or inclusion in a revision in due course. When a Notices to Mariners is issued, the sender’s ship or name is quoted as authority unless (as sometimes happens) the information is also received in a foreign Notices to Mariners. An explanation of the use of contributions from all parts of the world would be too greater task and a further communication should only be expected when the information is of outstanding value or has unusual features.

INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Mariners are requested to notify New Zealand Hydrographic Authority, Land Information New Zealand, 155 The Terrace, PO Box 5501, Wellington 6145, New Zealand, when new or suspected dangers to navigation are discovered, changes observed in aids to navigation, or corrections to publications seem to be necessary. The Admiralty publication, The Mariner’s Handbook (NP 100), Chapter 4, gives general instructions. 2. This form and its instructions have been designed to help both the sender and the recipient. It should be used, or followed, closely, whenever appropriate. Copies of this form may be obtained gratis from the New Zealand Hydrographic Authority at the address above, or in PDF format directly from the LINZ website, www.linz.govt.nz/hydro. Hydrographic Notes can also be sent from mobile devices using the Hydrographic Notes Application available for Android and Apple devices. 3. When a position is defined by sextant angles or bearings (true or magnetic being specified) more than two should be used in order to provide a check. Distances observed by radar should be quoted. However, when there is a series of fixes along a ship’s course, only the method of fixing and the objects used need to be indicated. Latitude and longitude should only be used specifically to position the details when they have been fixed by astronomical observations or GPS and a full description of the method, equipment and datum used should be given. 4. Paper Charts: A cutting from the largest scale paper chart is the best medium for forwarding details, the alterations and additions being shown thereon in red. When requested, a new copy will be sent in replacement of a chart that has been used to forward information, or when extensive observations have involved defacement of the observer’s chart. If it is preferred to show the amendments on a tracing of the largest scale chart (rather than the chart itself) these should be in red as above, but adequate detail from the chart must be traced in black ink to enable the amendments to be fitted correctly. Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs): A screen dump of the largest scale usage band ENC with the alterations and additions being shown thereon in red. 5. When soundings are obtained, The Mariners Handbook (NP 100) should be consulted. The echo sounding trace should be marked with times, depths, etc., and forwarded with the report. It is important to state whether the echo sounder is set to register depths below the surface, or below the keel; in the latter case the vessel’s draught should be given. Time and date should be given in order that corrections for the height of the tide may be made where necessary. The make, name, and type of echo sounder set should also be given. 6. Modern echo sounders frequently record greater depths than the set’s nominal range, e.g. with a set whose maximum is 500m a trace appearing at 50m may in fact be 550m or even 1,050m. Erroneous deep soundings beyond the sets nominal range can usually be recognised by the following: (a) The trace being weaker than normal for the depth registered (b) The trace appearing to pass through the transmission line (c) The “feathery” nature of the trace. 7. Reports which cannot be confirmed or are lacking in certain details should not be withheld. Shortcomings should be stressed and any firm expectation of being able to check the information on a succeeding voyage should be mentioned. 8. Reports of shoal soundings, uncharted dangers and navigational aids out of order should, at the mariner’s discretion, also be made by radio to the nearest coast radio station. The draught of modern tankers is such that any uncharted depth under 30 metres or 15 fathoms may be of sufficient importance to justify a radio message.
