1 SECTION III NM 50/12 MARINE INFORMATION NOAA CHART NEW EDITIONS AND THEIR AVAILABILITY NOAA recognizes two paper nautical chart products: - the Print-on-Demand (POD) chart distributed by OceanGrafix ( and - the Print-on-Demand (POD) chart distributed by East View Geospatial, Inc ( and - the traditional NOAA/NOS paper chart distributed by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The Print-on-Demand chart is available the day after NOAA clears a New Edition for release. The traditional chart is available two to eight weeks later. Each is official, should be put into service immediately, and meets Federal chart carriage requirements immediately upon its release. Each should be updated from the dates shown in the lower left corner of the chart. For questions, contact NOAA at help@nauticalcharts.gov or call x105. Dates of Latest Edition for charts are listed at This week s new editions released by NOAA are listed below (These NOAA charts are now available in both the Print-on Demand and digital raster formats.

NOAA PRINT-ON-DEMAND CHARTS Recent changes have been made by NGA regarding the availability of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charts for Department of Defense (DoD) customers and other authorized U.S. Government users. The Remote Replication Service locations and contact numbers listed below may be useful. NOAA Print-on-Demand charts are now available on NGA's NIPRNet at for download and printing. NOAA Print-on-Demand charts are updated on a weekly basis and include all of the latest critical chart corrections. Each chart is official and should be updated from the corrected through dates shown in the lower left corner of the chart. The charts are.pdf files and can be printed by using a large-format printer, or at the following global Remote Replication Service centers: CONUS: RRS St. Louis (Arnold MO): Phone (314) RRS Springfield, VA: Phone (571) RRS Pentagon: Phone (703) RRS Norfolk (Office Atlantic): Phone (757) RRS Fort Bragg Phone (910) RRS San Antonio (SOUTHCOM/USARSO) Phone (210) RRS MacDill AFB (Tampa) (CENTCOM/SOCOM) Phone (813) RRS Miami (HQ SOUTHCOM) Phone (305) RRS Offutt AFB (Omaha) (STRATCOM) Phone (402) OCONUS: RRS Bahrain (CENTCOM) Phone RRS Okinawa (PACOM) Phone RRS Hawaii (PACOM) Phone (808) RRS Stuttgart (USEUCOM) Phone NGA Electronic Product on Demand - Maritime (epods-m) is also available for download on NGA's NIPRNet at RADIOTELEPHONE DISTRESS WATCHKEEPING Mariners are advised that calls to the Coast Guard on the international radiotelephone distress frequency 2182 khz may not be reliably received by the Coast Guard. Areas where maritime broadcasts on 2670 khz are being received satisfactorily by mariners should not be affected. Similarly, mariners using high frequency (HF) radiotelephones equipped with digital selective calling (DSC) capable of operating on the 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 MHz distress frequencies should not be affected. Coast Guard watchkeeping services on these HF radiotelephone and DSC distress frequencies are posted at Mariners who receive a distress alert or call that has not been acknowledged by the Coast Guard are asked to assist if possible and advise the nearest Coast Guard unit using whatever means are practicable. NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY S IMPLEMENTATION OF A HARDCOPY TO DIGITAL TRANSITION STRATEGY Since the mid-1990 s, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has been working to improve digital navigation product support for the US Navy and other US Government users. The US Navy is transitioning to digital navigation, thus reducing the need for NGA to continue production of hardcopy charts. Therefore, NGA has begun a gradual transition from hardcopy chart production to a digital data maintenance environment. This notice is to advise mariners, chart agents, and other users of this strategy. During the gradual transition from hardcopy charts to digital charts, NGA will continue to make certain hardcopy charts available only to US Government-approved entities, in accordance with US law or international agreement. These particular III-2.2

3 SECTION III NM 50/12 charts will be identified as bilateral charts, since they are the product of international bilateral agreements and are duplicates of foreign copyright charts. Each bilateral chart will carry an NGA chart number, a National Stock Number (NSN), a bar code, and will show the number of any existing NGA chart that it replaces only when the chart is a one-for-one replacement. For those charts that are not a one-for-one replacement, no canceled chart number will appear. In the case where more than one new chart is being introduced to replace a single NGA chart, the existing chart will not be canceled until all new replacement charts have been announced in the Notice to Mariners. Bilateral charts are the result of NGA international agreements and are duplicates of foreign copyrighted charts. The charts are printed in English, use metric units, refer to WGS-84 datum and are marked as Distribution Limited. However, certain bilateral charts have not yet been converted to WGS-84 datum, and are of sufficiently large scale (generally larger than 1:50, 000) where the difference from WGS-84 datum is noticeable. These exception charts are printed with datum shift values, which must be applied in order to plot GPS-derived positions correctly. The exception charts are scheduled for eventual conversion to WGS-84 datum; until this occurs, their chart numbers will appear bold-faced in the announcement list below. Bilateral charts will contain references to host nation charts and publications, and may use symbology not yet found in US Chart No. 1. In most cases, NGA will not attempt to change these references to the equivalent US charts, publications or symbology. However, it should be noted that relevant maritime information referenced in a foreign publication can also usually be found within Sailing Directions, Notice to Mariners No. 1 (Special Paragraphs), List of Lights, Radio Navigational Aids, or Chart No. 1. Updates to Sailing Directions and other electronic publications can be made through the application of digital patch files (PDU files), available for download from the NGA Maritime Safety Web site. As the US Navy completes its transition to digital navigation, the use of bilateral charts will be gradually phased out. Until then, Section II of the Notice to Mariners, NGA/DLIS Catalog Corrections, will contain information about specific bilateral charts being announced as well as cancellation of any existing charts that they replace. Update information for bilateral charts will appear in Section I of the Notice to Mariners, Chart Corrections. Standard chart policy remains intact, in that NGA charts are not to be placed in service until their announcement appears in the US Notice to Mariners. NGA has begun adopting bilateral charts in waters of Australia, Canada, Japan, and the UK, with additional countries to follow. What this further means is that NGA no longer provides certain hardcopy charts (i.e., those replaced by bilateral charts) for public sale. To obtain these hardcopy charts, civilian users will be required to purchase bilateral chart equivalents from their producer nations and their agents. Contact information for purchasing Australian, Canadian, Japanese, and UK charts is listed below: Australian Hydrographic Service Web site: Australian Distribution Network: Canadian Hydrographic Service Web site: Canadian Sales Agents: Japan Coast Guard and List of Agents Web sites: UK Hydrographic Office Web site: UK Sales Agents: NGA issues this notice weekly. It will also appear in the What s Maritime section of the Maritime Safety Web site ( however, the following list of announced bilateral charts will only appear in the Notice to Mariners.
