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.

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Mariners are advised that all relevant Navigational Warnings (NAVWARN) should be kept until superseded by Notices to Mariners or through revised charts issued by the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS).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.

*204/23Canadian Coast Guard – Cessation of Rectangular Broadcasting in NAVAREA / METAREAs XVII and XVIII
(Recurrent publication of notice *204/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Eastern Edition 02/2023 publication.)
Since 2010, the five Arctic NAVAREA/METAREAs have promulgated
warnings and forecasts to their areas of responsibility using
INMARSAT-C’s rectangular area addressing capability. At that
time, it was not possible to code older Inmarsat-C receivers to
receive warnings and forecasts directly addressed to the Arctic
NAVAREA/METAREAs.
All Inmarsat-C and Mini-C receivers available for purchase
today are able to receive warnings and forecasts addressed to
the Arctic NAVAREA/METAREAs, and have been for more than a
decade.
Effective on January 1st, 2024, the Arctic NAVAREA/METAREAs
will commence broadcasting their warnings and forecasts using
their unique numeric identifier and will cease using
rectangular addressing.
During 2023, the Arctic NAVAREA/METAREAs will transmit test messages using the numeric NAVAREA/METAREA identifier to allow mariners to verify reception on their Inmarsat-C or Mini-C receivers.
Mariners navigating in Arctic waters must ensure that their Inmarsat-C or Mini-C receiver detects the new encoding prior to January 1st, 2024 to continue receiving Arctic NAVAREA/METAREA warnings and forecasts.
*310/23Canadian Coast Guard – Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) in Canada
(Recurrent publication of notice *310/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Eastern Edition 03/2023 publication.)
Reference: Notice *1206/22 is cancelled.
On December 15th, 2022, the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) permanently discontinued the provision of its DGPS service across Canada.
Today’s GPS meets the needs of international Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) requirements for maritime navigation. Further, for mariners in Canadian waters, there is no carriage requirement for ground - or space - based augmentation capability onboard vessels for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
Mariners should note that CCG DGPS sites may broadcast corrections on occasion for technology testing. During these testing, the DGPS corrections broadcasted should not be considered reliable for marine navigation.
*407/23Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park and Surrounding Waters – Whale Protection
(Recurrent publication of notice *407/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Eastern Edition 04/2023 publication.)
The waters in and around the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park are well known for the resident endangered beluga population and the wide diversity of whales that migrate there to feed, particularly between April and November.
Regulatory protection measures
All whale species that are found in the St. Lawrence are
protected under the Marine Mammal Regulations,
pursuant to the Fisheries Act. Within the boundaries
of the Marine Park, specific measures are set out in the
Marine Activities in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park
Regulations, pursuant to the establishment of the
Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park Act. Any collision
with a marine mammal within the Marine Park must immediately be
reported to a park warden at 1-866-508-9888. For collisions
that occur outside the Marine Park or for any situation
involving a marine mammal that is dead or in trouble, contact
the emergency network at 1-877-722-5346 or on VHF channel
16.
For more information on the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine
Park, see notice 5C of the Notices to Mariners Annual
Edition 2023.
Voluntary protection measures
Provisional measures in effect from May 1 to October 31, 2023.
See map at the end of this notice.
These measures apply to merchant vessels and cruise ships
between Pointe à Boisvert and Cap de la Tête au Chien to
prevent collisions with whales. These measures should only be
taken when they will not jeopardize navigational
safety.
Caution area (yellow area): To reduce the
risk of collisions with whales that can be present anywhere
in this area, heightened vigilance of navigators is critical.
Posting a lookout is recommended in order to increase the
chances of seeing the whales and thus taking necessary
measures to avoid them. If bypassing the whales is not
possible, slow down and wait for the animals to move away to
a distance greater than 400 metres (0.215 nautical miles)
before resuming original speed. It is more difficult to see
the animals at night therefore increased caution is
recommended.
Slow down to 10 knots or less area (red
area): To reduce the risk of collisions with whales
in this feeding area, it is recommended that vessels slow
down to a maximum speed through the water of 10 knots and
post a lookout. It is further recommended to remain in the
Laurentian Channel to the north of Île Rouge to minimize the
impact of noise in a sensitive area south of this island,
which is highly frequented by herds of beluga whales composed
of females and young.
Area to be avoided (hatched red area): To
reduce noise and the risk of collisions with whales, vessels
should avoid transiting through this area which is highly
frequented by blue whales, an endangered species. If the area
cannot be avoided, slow down to a speed through the water of
10 knots or less.
*408/23Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park - Beluga Whale Protection: Slowdown Area at the Mouth of the Saguenay Fjord and Area Closure at Baie Sainte-Marguerite
(Recurrent publication of notice *408/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Eastern Edition 04/2023 publication.)
The Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park and its surrounding area are at the heart of endangered beluga whale critical summer habitat. Marine mammal protection measures have been put in place in accordance with the Marine Activities in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park Regulations within the limits of the Marine Park.
However, important feeding, calving and rearing areas for beluga whales require greater protection to ensure the recovery of the species. The portion of the Saguenay situated between the mouth of the Fjord and Baie Sainte-Marguerite is one of the areas most used by females and their young from May to October. The mouth of the Saguenay is known as a feeding ground and Baie Sainte-Marguerite as a calving and rearing area.
In order to prevent collisions with beluga whales, a compulsory 15-knot slowdown area is in effect from May 1st to October 31st at the mouth of the Saguenay. To ensure tranquility for female belugas and their young during the critical calving period, access to Baie Sainte-Marguerite is prohibited to all vessels from June 21st to September 21st, except for special authorizations (see description below).
For safety reasons, the slowdown area measure at the mouth of the Saguenay Fjord does not apply to cargo ships (see the monthly edition of Notice to Mariners from May to October for voluntary protection measures in the St. Lawrence Estuary). An enhanced vigilance is, however, recommended to all navigators between the mouth of the Saguenay Fjord and Baie Sainte-Marguerite for the protection of beluga whales.
For more information on the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park, see notice 5C of the Notices to Mariners Annual Edition 2023 or visit marinepark.qc.ca.
REGULATORY PROTECTION MEASURES — BELUGA WHALE
Entire Marine Park Territory:
•When beluga whales are less than half a nautical mile
(926 metres) from a motorized vessel, the vessel must
maintain a steady speed of between 5 and 10 knots.
•All vessels, including human-powered vessels (kayaks
and canoes), must continue to move forward and maintain their
heading.
•All vessels must maintain a minimum distance of 400
metres from beluga whales at all times.
For more information concerning the regulations, consult: marinepark.ca/protect/.
Mouth of the Saguenay Fjord (Figure 1) — Slowdown Area (area crosshatched in red):
•Maximum speed at the mouth of the Saguenay between buoys S7 and S8 and the ferry docks between Baie-Sainte-Catherine and Tadoussac is 15 knots from May 1st to October 31st.
Baie Sainte-Marguerite (Figure 2) — Area Closure (red area):
•From June 21st to September 21st, vessels must not enter the red area, which follows a line between Cap Nord-Ouest and Cap Sainte-Marguerite.
•Special authorizations are granted only for kayaks, canoes and recreational fishermen who must travel without stopping along a corridor within 10 metres of the shore or in shallow areas.
VOLUNTARY PROTECTION MEASURES
Baie Sainte-Marguerite sector (Figure 2) — Transit Area (area crosshatched in yellow):
•From June 21st to September 21st, navigation in this area is recommended at a speed of between 5 and 10 knots without stopping.
The purpose of this transit area is to favour respect of the Marine Activities in the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park Regulations, since beluga whales are often present in the Baie Sainte-Marguerite sector.
Information
All incidents, including collisions with whales, must be reported without delay by calling 1-866-508-9888. For any other situation concerning a marine mammal that is either dead or in trouble, contact the Marine Mammal Emergency Response Network at 1-877-722-5346, or use VHF channel 16.

*505/23Canadian Hydrographic Service – Magnetic Declination Calculations
(Recurrent publication of notice *505/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Eastern 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.
*507/23Protecting the North Atlantic Right Whale: Speed Restriction Measures in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
(Recurrent publication of notice *507/23, originally published in the Notices to Mariners – Monthly Eastern Edition 05/2023 publication.)
Reference: Notice *401/23 is cancelled.
PURPOSE
This notice describes the speed restriction zones that vessels must follow in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The Government of Canada has established these zones to reduce the risk of vessel colliding with North Atlantic right whales (NARW).
BACKGROUND
Due to changing migration patterns of North Atlantic right whales and their increased presence in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Government of Canada has set seasonal speed restrictions in specific zones. These speed restrictions zones are defined as “static zones”, “dynamic shipping zones”, “seasonal management areas”, a “voluntary seasonal slowdown zone’’ and a “restricted area”. See the map below for details.
Note: Vessels must follow Navigational Warnings outlining the speed restrictions. The Interim Order for the Protection of North Atlantic Right Whales (Eubalaena Glacialis) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 2023 enables the issuance of Navigational Warnings (NAVWARNs) imposing speed restrictions and navigation restrictions.
Speed restriction zones are described in monthly Notices to Mariners (NOTMARs), which are published by the Canadian Coast Guard. The status of these zones is broadcasted through NAVWARNs, which are published by the Coast Guard’s Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centres.
CHANGES TO SPEED RESTRICTION ZONES AND MEASURES
Based on consultations with industry and on scientific data, changes to the speed restriction zones will be effective from April 19th, 2023, while the restricted area will be implemented based on whale presence:
•A voluntary seasonal slowdown of 10.0 knots over the ground spanning from Cabot Strait (a line running from Cape North NS to Cape Ray NL) to the eastern edge of dynamic shipping zone E will be implemented at the beginning and end of the North Atlantic right whale season.
Please check the latest NAVWARN for all speed restrictions currently in effect.
SPEED RESTRICTION MEASURES FOR 2023
These restrictions will be in effect from April 19 to November 15, 2023.
Exceptions
The following exception will apply to all measures:
a)a vessel in distress or providing assistance to a person or a vessel in distress;
b)a government vessel being used
(i) for law enforcement activities;
(ii) for search and rescue operations; or
(iii) to ensure the competency of the crew or the operational readiness of the vessel or crew with respect to such activities or operations.
STATIC ZONES
In the static zones, all vessels above 13 m in length overall (LOA) must proceed at a speed of not more than 10.0 knots over the ground.
Exceptions
Air cushion vessels operated by or on behalf of the Government
of Canada that are engaged in ice-clearing activities from
April to June in and around Chaleur Bay are exempted when in
operation.
36.57 m (20-fathom) shallow water protocol
Vessels engaged in any commercial fishing activity may proceed at a safe operational speed in waters not more than 36.57 m (20 fathom) deep.
If a notice to fish harvesters and a NAVWARN state that at least one right whale has been detected within the static zone in waters that are not more than 36.57 m deep, the 10 knots speed limit will apply to all vessels above 13 m in length overall (LOA) for 15 days after the day on which the whale was detected.
If a new notice to fish harvesters and a new NAVWARN are published or broadcast during the last seven days of the 15-day period, the speed limit will continue to apply for a further 15 days after the day on which the new detection took place.

Coordinates for the northern static zone:
•50° 20’ N, 065° 00’ W |
Coordinates for the southern static zone:
•48° 40’ N, 065° 00’ W |
DYNAMIC SHIPPING ZONES
There are five dynamic shipping zones (DSZ) located in the routeing systems north and south of Anticosti Island: A, B, C, D and E.
Coordinates for the dynamic shipping zones:
|
Zone A
•49⁰ 41’ N, 065⁰ 00’ W |
Zone B
•49⁰ 22’ N, 064⁰ 00’ W |
Zone C
•49⁰ 00’ N, 063⁰ 00’ W |
|
Zone D
•50⁰ 16’ N, 064⁰ 00’ W |
Zone E
•48⁰ 35’ N, 062⁰ 00’ W |
|
When a North Atlantic right whale is detected in a dynamic shipping zone:
•All vessels will be notified via a NAVWARN; and
•Vessels above 13 m in length overall
(LOA) must proceed at a speed of not more than 10.0 knots over
the ground within that zone.
Even though dynamic shipping zones overlap with static zones, vessels can travel at a safe operational speed in dynamic shipping zones when they are not under speed restriction. Mariners must also keep in mind that North Atlantic right whales may be nearby.
Speed restrictions in the dynamic shipping zones
The detection of North Atlantic right whales in one or more dynamic shipping zone(s), will trigger a speed restriction in the concerned zone(s). The speed restriction in the dynamic shipping zone(s) will be in effect for 15 days from the date of detection. In the event of a new North Atlantic right whale detection occurring in the last 7 days of the 15-day slowdown period, the speed restriction will be extended for an additional 15 days from the date of the new detection. This would continue until no NARW are detected.
When a NAVWARN is issued implementing a speed restriction in one or more dynamic shipping zone(s), vessels above 13 m in length (LOA) must not exceed a speed of 10.0 knots over the ground. Within any dynamic zone that is not subject to a speed restriction, mariners may proceed at a safe operational speed. Mariners are encouraged to take into consideration the potential for their vessel striking North Atlantic right whales when considering a “safe operational speed” during navigation.
SEASONAL MANAGEMENT AREAS
Seasonal management area 1 (SMA-1) and seasonal management area 2 (SMA-2) are speed restriction areas located north and south of dynamic shipping zone E, respectively.
Within seasonal management areas, vessels above 13 m in length (LOA):
•must restrict their speed so as not to exceed 10.0 knots over the ground from April 19th to June 27th, 2023; and
•are allowed to proceed at a safe operational speed from June 28th to November 15th, 2023, unless a North Atlantic right whale is detected. If a whale is detected, a speed restriction of 10.0 knots over the ground will be triggered for 15 days from the date of detection. In the event of a new North Atlantic right whale detection occurring in the last 7 days of the 15-day slowdown period, the speed restriction will be extended for an additional 15 days from the date of the new detection. This would continue until no North Atlantic right whales are detected.

Coordinates for the SMA-1:
•49° 04’ N, 062° 00’ W |
Coordinates for the SMA-2:
•48° 24’ N, 062° 00’ W |
RESTRICTED AREA
In the summer months, an important proportion of the total North Atlantic right whale population gathers for feeding and surface activity near the Shediac Valley. Since this makes the North Atlantic right whale more susceptible to vessel collisions, a mandatory restricted area will be implemented in and near the Shediac Valley and will come into force once 80% of the restricted area is closed to fishing for the season as per the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’s right whale closure protocol. The restricted area will be lifted once the North Atlantic right whale detections decrease in the restricted area.
The size and location of the area are determined based on
historical detection data of North Atlantic right whales. All
necessary details can be found in the Interim Order for the
Protection of North Atlantic Right Whales (Eubalaena Glacialis)
in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 2023. Triggering and lifting of
the restricted area will be communicated to mariners through a
NAVWARN and notice to fish harvesters.
Vessels above 13 m in length (LOA) will be
required to:
•avoid the area unless they are part of the exceptions listed in the Interim Order for the Protection of North Atlantic Right Whales (Eubalaena Glacialis) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 2023;
•transit the area at a speed not exceeding 8.0 knots over the ground if they are part of the exceptions.
The following exceptions will apply to the restricted area. The following listed vessels can travel through the area at not more than 8.0 knots over the ground:
•A vessel being used for commercial fishing;
•A vessel being used for fishing under the authority of
a licence issued under the Aboriginal Communal Fishing
Licences Regulations;
•A vessel being used for research purposes on behalf of
the Government of Canada;
•A vessel being used as part of the Department of
Fisheries and Oceans’ Marine Mammal Response Program to assist
a marine mammal or sea turtle in distress or to access or
retrieve a deceased marine mammal or sea turtle;
•A vessel authorized by the Government of Canada to
retrieve or identify the location of abandoned or lost fishing
gear;
•A vessel involved in pollution response
operations;
•A vessel avoiding immediate or unforeseen danger;
•A vessel involved in research relating to right whales as part of a project that has received funding from the Government of Canada.
The following vessels can travel through the restricted area at a speed over 8.0 knots, but below 10.0 knots over the ground as required by the static speed restriction zone:
•A vessel being used by an employee of the Government of Canada or peace officer who is performing their duties.
Coordinates for the restricted area:
•48˚31.8’ N, 063˚39.6’ W
•48˚24.72’ N, 063˚17.88’ W
•47˚18.84’ N, 064˚10.8’ W
•47˚27.18’ N, 064˚30.72’ W
Inclement weather exception
Mariners will be notified in advance via a NAVWARN should the speed restriction status change in any zone or area, due to inclement weather.
Within any zone or area that is no longer subject to a speed restriction due to adverse weather conditions, mariners may proceed at a safe operational speed. Mariners are however encouraged to take into consideration the potential for their vessel striking North Atlantic right whales when considering a “safe operational speed” during navigation.
*Non-excepted vessels are still prohibited from transiting through the restricted area.
VOLUNTARY SEASONAL SLOWDOWN IN CABOT STRAIT
To coincide with the North Atlantic right whales entering and exiting the Gulf of St. Lawrence in large numbers, a voluntary seasonal slowdown is being put in place in Cabot Strait from April 19th to June 27th, 2023, and from September 27th to November 15th, 2023.
•During these periods, vessels above 13 m in length (LOA) are requested to voluntarily reduce their speed as to not exceed 10.0 knots over the ground.
Voluntary seasonal slowdown zone coordinates:
•48° 10.5’ N, 061° 00’ W
•47° 37.2’ N, 059° 18.5’ W

Roseway Basin – Area to be Avoided
The Roseway Basin, located approximately 20 nautical miles south of Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia, is a critical habitat for North Atlantic right whales, which have been observed to gather in the area on a seasonal basis in Canadian waters. This critical habitat is also located near key shipping routes. In 2007, Canada, with the support of many groups with varied interests, proposed to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) the establishment of a seasonal Area to be Avoided in the Roseway Basin to protect North Atlantic right whales, which IMO accepted and adopted.
To reduce the risk of vessels colliding with North Atlantic right whales, it is recommended that vessels of 300 gross tonnages and more, in transit during the period of June 1 through December 31, avoid the Roseway Basin area. Smaller vessels are also encouraged to avoid passage through this area. If passage is necessary within the Area to be Avoided, it is recommended that all mariners decrease their vessel speed to no more than 10 knots, when safe to do so.
Roseway Basin coordinates:
•43° 16’ N 064° 55’ W

•42° 52’ N 066° 05’ W
NAVWARN BROADCASTS
The Canadian Coast Guard issues NAVWARNs:
•by radio broadcast; and
•online at Canada’s Maritime Information Portal and its Navigational Warnings site.
Mariners must ensure they have accurate and up-to-date
information about the protection of the North Atlantic right
whale, as in all applicable NOTMARs and NAVWARNs.
For the North Atlantic right whale speed restrictions, the
NAVWARN(s) currently in effect will be provided to vessels
subject to the Vessel Traffic Services Zone
Regulations or the Eastern Canada Vessel Traffic
Services Zone Regulations:
Outbound vessels will receive NAVWARNs
•at Calling-in-Point 10 (St-Laurent); or
•upon a departure downstream from the Quebec pilot station (including the Saguenay River, Chaleur Bay, Miramichi Bay, etc.)
Inbound vessels will receive NAVWARNs
•when a clearance to enter Canadian waters is granted
Vessels in transit will receive NAVWARNs
•at the last reporting point prior to entering the mandatory speed restriction zones; and/or
•at 10 nautical miles before they enter the mandatory speed restriction zones
For those vessels not subject to the above-mentioned regulations, vessel operators are required to monitor broadcasts by the Canadian Coast Guard’s Marine Communications and Traffic Services network for the most up-to-date information. For marine radio frequencies and broadcast times, information may be found in the Radio Aids to Marine Navigation publication.
AIDS TO NAVIGATION
The Canadian Coast Guard is currently testing virtual Automatic Identification System (AIS) aids to navigation (AIS AtoN) in specific areas. These aids notify mariners of a dynamic shipping zone and/or a seasonal management area subject to a speed restriction.
Each zone is delimited by four to six virtual AIS AtoN, which can be displayed on a ship’s navigation equipment, such as
•Electronic Chart Display and Information System
(ECDIS);
•Electronic Chart System (ECS);
•RADAR;
•Minimum Keyboard Display (MKD); and
•Electronic Nautical Chart (ENC).
The Canadian Coast Guard broadcasts the virtual AIS AtoN only when a speed restriction is in effect in one or more testing zones.
Mariners must select the virtual AIS AtoN symbol to view a message such as “SectA1 Spd Lim 10 kt.” This message refers to a speed restriction in effect for a specific zone.
Note: This system is not the primary method of communicating this information.
COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT
Vessels must comply with the Interim Orders made pursuant to the Canada Shipping Act, 2001, and any NAVWARNs broadcasted and published by the Canadian Coast Guard relating to the Interim Orders, aimed at regulating the navigation for the purposes of protecting the North Atlantic right whales.
If a vessel does not comply with the Interim Orders or instructions in the NAVWARNs related to the Interim Orders, the vessel could face:
•administrative monetary penalties up to a maximum of CAN $250,000; and/or
•penal sanctions under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 is liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than CAN $1,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than 18 months, or to both.
If a vessel appears to have violated the speed restriction, Transport Canada Marine Safety inspectors will review all information provided through AIS and seek an explanation from the master.
No exemptions to the speed restriction will be granted in advance. However, if a deviation from the speed restrictions is necessary for safety reasons, the following information must be entered into the bridge logbook:
•reason(s) for deviation;
•speed at which vessel is operated;
•latitude and longitude at time of deviation;
•time and duration of deviation; and
•master of the vessel shall sign and date the bridge
logbook entry.
For any deviation, Transport Canada will review and consider reasons such as:
•navigating to ensure vessel safety;
•weather conditions;
•force majeure (unforeseeable circumstances); and
•responding to emergencies.

on the characteristics of each rocket, the trajectory
will cross all altitudes up to approximately
600,000 feet during a period not exceeding
30 minutes the time of launch. It is that
majority of rockets launched will impact at a point
within Area A (see diagram 10). Radar and other
surveillance procedures will be used over the area
during the range operations. No rocket will be
launched if it is known that an aircraft or ship is
likely to be endangered.
Information about a launch will be published through a Navigational Warning issued by Iqaluit MCTS.
