The Light List describes aids to navigation, consisting of lights, buoys, daybeacons, sound signals, and electronic aids to navigation in waters of the United States and its possessions. The 2014 edition supersedes the 2013 edition. The Light List Books produced by the USCG are available for general purchase through the Government Print Office (GPO) at For more information or assistance in the procurement and purchase process, please contact the USCG Navigation Center at or submit an electronic assistance request at the following link: The USCG Navigation Center publishes a summary of corrections to the Light List Books on a weekly basis. They can be found at the following link: Electronic editions of the Light Lists are available on the USCG Navigation Center s website at: Full updates of these volumes are also available on the USCG Navigation Center website at: Page 1 of 15 Coast Guard District June 2014

2 ELECTRONIC NAVIGATION CHARTS RANGE STRUCTURES: The U.S. Coast Guard has become aware that Coast Guard information used to depict a range line on NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) may not be of sufficient accuracy to accurately portray the range line on the ENC. Mariners are cautioned that the position of a range line as shown on an ENC may not reflect its true position. MARINE DEBRIS With the increase in ocean debris sightings along the coastlines of the Pacific Ocean, mariners are reminded to submit debris sighting reports to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program at DisasterDebris@noaa.gov. MARINE SAFETY INFORMATION BULLETIN Some vessel operators are choosing to depart the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) established in the Santa Barbara Channel and transit through an area to the south of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz Islands (referenced herein as south of the Channel Islands ). As such, the Los Angeles / Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee has published voluntary western traffic lanes for vessels approaching and departing the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Mariners transiting through the western and northern approaches to and from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (LA/LB) are advised that the established TSS through the Santa Barbara Channel as shown on NOAA and Admiralty charts is the only International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved routing measure in this area. An IMO approved TSS reduces the risk of collision by providing for the separation of arriving and departing traffic and minimizing potentially hazardous crossing situations. Mariners, who have traditionally used this approved TSS, are encouraged to continue to do so. For additional information please see MSIB Voluntary Traffic Lane pdf in the Enclosures Section. TEMPORARY SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR NAVIGATING IN REDUCED VISIBILITY In response to the allision of the T/V OVERSEAS REYMAR with Pier E of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the Coast Guard Captain of the Port of San Francisco and the Harbor Safety Committee have established Temporary Safety Guidelines for Navigating in Reduced Visibility. The temporary guidelines apply to all vessels 1600 gross tons or greater, tugs with tows 1600 gross tons or greater, and all tugs with tows in petroleum service. Nothing in the guidelines should preclude vessel Master, Pilots and operators from taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of their vessel at all times. Implementation of these guidelines will be monitored by the Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service. These guidelines will remain in place until the Navigation work group s comprehensive review of the Harbor Safety Committee Guidelines for Navigating in Reduced Visibility is complete. See enclosure section for guidelines TempReducedVis.pdf U.S. COAST GUARD TO TEST AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS) AIDS TO NAVIGATION (ATON) 22/14 03/11 25/12 43/09 08/13 The U.S. Coast Guard and other authorized agencies and organizations (i.e., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Marine Exchange of Alaska) have begun transmitting AIS ATON messages and marine safety information via AIS for testing and evaluation. The exact content, location, and times of these broadcasts will be announced in future Local Notices to Mariners. See enclosure AIS ATON Announcement.pdf for more details. 04/14 SECTION II - DISCREPANCIES This section lists all reported and corrected discrepancies related to Aids to Navigation in this edition.

16 U. S. Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles Long Beach MARINE SAFETY INFORMATION BULLETIN Los Angeles / Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee Voluntary Western Traffic Lanes There has been a recent trend in traffic patterns where some vessel operators are choosing to depart the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) established in the Santa Barbara Channel and transit through an area to the south of San Miguel, Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands (referenced herein as south of the Channel Islands ). As such, the Los Angeles / Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee has published voluntary western traffic lanes for vessels approaching and departing the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Mariners transiting through the western and northern approaches to and from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (LA/LB) are advised the established TSS through the Santa Barbara Channel as shown on NOAA and Admiralty charts is the only International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved routing measure in this area. An IMO approved TSS reduces the risk of collision by providing for the separation of arriving and departing traffic and minimizing potentially hazardous crossing situations. Mariners, who have traditionally used this approved TSS, are encouraged to continue to do so. Voluntary Western Traffic Lanes To address the safety concerns created by increased traffic south of the Channel Islands, on October 6, 2009, the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee (LA/LB HSC) endorsed voluntary traffic lanes in the area south of the Channel Islands (referenced herein as voluntary western traffic lanes. ). The new voluntary western traffic lanes are not approved by the IMO, nor are they approved by any U.S. federal authority, including the U.S. Coast Guard. The LA/LB HSC developed theses lanes as a voluntary measure to promote vessel safety. The Coast Guard is taking separate action to study the increased traffic in this area. The geographical coordinates for the voluntary western traffic lanes are published by the LA/LB H SC secretary at Pacific Missile Test Range, Point Magu

17 Departing the IMO approved TSS and transiting south of the Channel Islands may result in delays and diversions, as this transit will take vessels through the Pacific Missile Test Range, Point Mugu, California. The U.S. Navy advises that hazardous operations may take place within the test range. The test range extends for 180 miles in a South West direction from Point Mugu and is up to 210 miles wide. The specific hazardous areas within the range are broadcast by the Navy daily Monday through Friday at 0900 and 1200 on 2638 khz and 2738 khz. When notified by the Navy, the Coast Guard also broadcasts this information on VHF-FM channel 16. When transiting south of the Channel Islands (inbound or outbound to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach), all mariners should communicate with Navy PLEAD CONTROL in a timely manner so that early decisions can be made regarding safe routing. Every effort should be made to comply fully with any instructions received from the Navy. For information regarding the status of current hazardous operations contact PLEAD CONTROL on VHF Marine channel 11 or 16, or at (805) /8843 from , and at (805) after If you are unable to contact PLEAD CONTROL, contact SAN PEDRO TRAFFIC on VHF-FM channel 14 or (310) for the most recent information regarding hazardous military operations. The Navy requests all vessels transiting the range to submit a notification to PLEAD CONTROL indicating the vessel name, destination, and estimated time of entry into, and departure from, the test range. Notifications can be faxed to (805) Whales Mariners are further reminded that large whales, including Blue, Grey, Humpback, and Fin whales, as well as other marine mammals, have been sighted in and around the Santa Barbara Channel, both within the TSS as well as to the south of the Channel Islands. These whales are all protected under federal law and some are listed as endangered species. Please report any collisions with whales or any observed live, injured, or dead whales, including time and position, to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at 877-SOS-WHALE ( ) or the Coast Guard. Recreational and Fishing Vessels The area to the south of the Channel Islands is also used by both commercial fishing vessels and recreational vessels, whose operators may not be aware of the new voluntary western traffic lanes or that ship traffic has recently increased in this area. Since the new voluntary western traffic lanes are not an IMO approved traffic separation scheme, the International Regulations for Avoiding Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) Rule 10 does not apply. Questions Questions relating to the voluntary western traffic lanes should be directed to the LA/LB HSC Secretary at (310)

21 U.S. Coast Guard to Test Automatic Identification System (AIS) Aids to Navigation (ATON) The U.S. Coast Guard and other authorized agencies and organizations (i.e., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Marine Exchange of Alaska) have begun transmitting AIS ATON messages and marine safety information via AIS for testing and evaluation. The exact content, location, and times of these broadcasts will be announced in future Local Notices to Mariners. AIS is an internationally adopted radio communication protocol that enables the autonomous and continuous exchange of navigation safety related messages amongst vessels, lifeboats, aircraft, shore stations, and aids to navigation (AIS ATON). AIS ATON stations broadcast their presence, identity (9-digit Marine Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number), position, and status at least every three minutes or as needed. These broadcasts can originate from an AIS station located on an existing physical aid to navigation (Real AIS ATON) or from another location (i.e., AIS Base Station). An AIS Base Station signal broadcasted to coincide with an existing physical aid to navigation is known as a Synthetic AIS ATON. An electronically charted, but non-existent as a physical aid to navigation, is identified as a Virtual AIS ATON. The latter two can be used to depict an existing aid to navigation that is off station or not watching properly or to convey an aid to navigation that has yet to be charted. All three variants can be received by any existing AIS mobile device, but they would require an external system for their portrayal (i.e., AIS message 21 capable ECDIS, ECS, radar, PC). How they are portrayed currently varies by manufacturer, but the future intention is for the portrayal to be in accordance with forthcoming International Standards (i.e., IEC (Ed. 2), IHO S-4 (Ed )). Mariners capable of receiving and displaying these test AIS messages are encouraged to provide feedback and report any anomalies to the USCG NAVCEN Website: Contact Us Tab Subject: AIS Category: AIS Testing.
