CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE CHART PATCHES

Colour Web Patches are free to the mariner, and given the quality of many printers, should reproduce well. They will be available in real time all around the world which is an improvement since clients had to wait for the paper copy to be mailed.

Previously, in the Notices to Mariners (NTM) booklet, Patches were produced in full colour or a minimum of black and magenta.

Due to current budgetary constraints, Patches will now only be produced in black and white for publication in the NTM booklet.

CHS welcomes your feedback on this new service at chsinfo@dfo-mpo.gc.ca

CANADIAN HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE - PRINT ON DEMAND CHARTS - CARE AND USE


Background By providing nautical charts to the public, the goal of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) is to provide services for safe navigation in a fiscally responsible manner. As a result, CHS continues to expand its portfolio of nautical paper charts that are printed using Print On Demand (POD) technology. These charts are easily recognized by their whiter paper and the coloured logo of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. This new technology enables CHS to print charts in a more efficient manner while enhancing chart content through being able to quickly add new and important information. POD technology provides customers with up-to-date charts without the historical hand-drawn corrections or glued-on patches. Additionally, this technology eliminates out-of-stock situations which arise with the traditional printing and warehousing methods. In the event of a national emergency, CHS can respond to the appropriate authorities with best available information very quickly. Care of Your POD Chart CHS encourages its customers to handle the POD charts more carefully than the traditional lithographic charts. When plotting information on POD charts, use HB pencils and apply limited pressure. Testing has suggested that an Indian gum eraser is more effective than alternatives when used on the product. This eraser is also suitable for charts printed using lithographic processes.

*106 CANADIAN COAST GUARD PUBLICATION - ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING LORAN-C SERVICE


On January 7, 2010, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) announced the termination of the U.S. Loran-C signal and phased decommissioning of the U.S. Loran-C infrastructure. The USCG will terminate the transmissions of all US domestic Loran-C signals including those covering the Great Lakes Loran-C Chain GRI 8970 and the Northeast U.S. Loran-C Chain GRI 9960 at 2000z on February 8, 2010. All U.S. Loran-C stations are expected to cease transmitting by October 1, 2010. Other chains that are jointly operated by the U.S. and Canada will continue to be operational up to October 1, 2010. The Loran-C systems in Canada and U.S. work in tandem. Once the U.S. service is discontinued, the Canadian system will not be operational. Consequently, Canada will also decommission its Loran-C system in 2010. The official date for termination in Canada has not been set at this time, although it is expected to take place on or before October 1, 2010. Authorities in Canada and the U.S. will be collaborating on plans to discontinue Loran-C systems to minimize disruption in navigation services. Updates will be provided on CCG's Notices to Mariners website (http://www.notmar.gc.ca/go.php?doc=eng/services/notmar/Loran-C-eng), in CCG's monthly Notices to Mariners (http://www.notmar.gc.ca/) and on the CCG's website http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/eng/Ccg/atn_Loran_C as further details becomes available. Comments should be directed to the Manager, Aids to Navigation, Canadian Coast Guard, 200 Kent St., 5^th floor, Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1A 0E6, E-mail to Joanna.bellamy@dfo-mpo.gc.ca or by phone at (613) 998-1405 within three months from the date of this notice. Any objections raised must state the facts on which they are based and should include supporting information on safety, commerce and public benefit. January 20, 2010

*110 QUATSINO SOUND TO/À QUEEN CHARLOTTE STRAIT - SCOTT ISLANDS - MARINE PROTECTED AREA


Reference Canadian Charts: 3605, 3625. Reference US Charts: 17495, 17491. The Scott Islands (50^o48'N, 128^o 50'W) were designated as a protected area by the Government of British Columbia in 1995 to protect an unspoiled coastal wilderness environment, including seabird colonies and other wildlife that are unique to, or representative of, the area. Lanz and Cox Islands are accessible by boat only. Cox Island lies approximately 6 nautical miles off the tip of Cape Scott on the northwest tip of Vancouver Island. Lanz Island sits less than half a nautical mile further west. Only extremely experienced boaters should consider visiting these islands. Lanz and Cox Islands are designated as Provincial Park, where the outer three islands of Sartine, Beresford, and Triangle are provincial Ecological Reserves where public access is prohibited. Research has shown that globally and nationally important populations of seabirds use the islands as nesting colonies and also use an extensive ocean area extending 60 nautical miles from the Scott Islands to forage for prey. One of the most sensitive areas of foraging habitats is bounded by a line connecting the following geographical positions: 1) 50° 39' 29" N. 128° 22' 12" W. 2) 50° 47' 17" N, 128° 26' 42" W. 3) 51° 45' 00" N. 128° 50' 20" W. 4) 51° 41' 35" N. 130° 36' 18" W. 5) 50° 02' 17" N. 130° 26' 38" W. 6) 50° 06' 04" N. 128° 24' 25" W. At various times of year, large numbers of auklet, murre, shearwater, storm- petrel, albatross, gull, and other migratory bird species are present in the wider ocean area and within this boundary dependent on, time of year, ocean conditions, and presence/abundance of prey species. Mariners are reminded to use extra caution to avoid any activities within this area that would be harmful or detrimental to migratory birds, their prey species, or other wildlife. These activities include, but are not limited to, unnecessary use of lights or other devices that may attract or disorient birds. Also note that, the discharge of oil, oily wastes, or other deleterious substances are subject to prosecution pursuant to regulations under the Canada Shipping Act (2001), the Migratory Bird Convention Act (1994), and other legislations. Mariners are advised that increased satellite, aircraft, and ship-based surveillance of this area are being conducted. If pollution incidents are observed, mariners are urged to contact Tofino MCTS (Marine Communications and Traffic Service) via VHF Channel 74/16 for the area south of the Scott Islands, and Comox MCTS via VHF Channel 71/16 for the area north of the islands, or Tel. 1-800-889 8852. If other incidents posing threats to seabirds are observed, mariners are urged to contact Environment Canada's Wildlife Enforcement Duty Officer Toll free at 1-877-768-6904 (0700-2200 hrs).

CORRECTIONS TO RADIO AIDS TO MARINE NAVIGATION

*112 CANADIAN COAST GUARD PUBLICATION - AMENDMENT TO THE RADIO AIDS TO MARINE NAVIGATION (PACIFIC AND WESTERN ARCTIC) PUBLICATION - 2009

Page 1-1

NEW - ADD:

ADVANCE NOTICE

NAVAREAs

The Canadian Coast Guard assumed the responsibility of NAVAREA coordination for NAVAREAs XVII and XVIII as part of the World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS). An International SafetyNET Service for broadcasting navigational warnings in the English language will be declared to be in 'Initial Operational Condition' (IOC) effective January 31, 2010. During the OIC period, the Canadian Coast Guard will not guarantee service availability as this service will be provided on a test basis. The service is expected to be in 'Full Operational Condition' (FOC) at a time to be defined in 2011.

A NAVAREA is described as a geographical sea area for the purpose of coordinating the transmission of maritime safety information. The establishment of an International SafetyNET Service for the new NAVAREAs XVII and XVIII will permit mariners, in Arctic waters above 67°N latitude, to receive navigational warning messages and other relevant safety-related information over Inmarsat C satellite Enhanced Group Call (EGC) system when they are within the coverage area serviced by the Inmarsat satellites.

The broadcasting of SafetyNET messages to the new Arctic NAVAREAs will be addressed to rectangular area until the SafetyNET receiver modifications with the inclusion of the Arctic NAVAREA boundary limits and its identification are in place. Reception of rectangular addressed messages should be automatic providing the ship's position is inside the addressed area and within the footprint of Inmarsat coverage.

NAVAREA broadcast address areas:

NAVAREA XVII NAVAREA XVIII
80 00N 175 00E 80 00N 125 00W
80 00N 115 00W 80 00N 050 00W
62 00N 115 00W 62 00N 050 00W
62 00N 175 00E 62 00N 125 00W

Mariners should check their manufacture's operation manuals to obtain information on the setting of their EGC equipment to receive relevant SafetyNET messages.

NAVAREA warnings will be broadcast twice daily at the following times:

NAVAREA XVII (POR) at 1130UTC and 2330UTC

NAVAREA XVIII (AOR-W) at 1100UTC and 2300UTC

Feedback concerning the reception of NAVAREA broadcasts, especially above 75°N, would be appreciated and may be sent to:

NAVAREA XVII and XVIII
Prescott MCTS Centre
Telephone: (613) 925-4471
Facsimile: (613) 925-4519
E-mail: navarea17.18@innav.gc.ca

It shall be noted that Environment Canada will act as the METAREA coordinator and will be responsible for the broadcast of maritime meteorological information through the International SafetyNET System. Details concerning this service will be communicated by means of Notices to Mariners and other maritime publications.

6) Discontinuation of 121.5/243 MHz Distress Beacon Monitoring by the COSPAS-SARSAT Satellite Constellation

COSPAS-SARSAT is the international organization that operates a series of satellites in low altitude and geostationary orbits for search and rescue. In response to recommendations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Council of COSPAS-SARSAT announced at its October 2000 meeting in Laval, Quebec that it will be phasing out satellite processing of distress beacons operating in the 121.5/243 MHz range and encouraging users to adopt 406 MHz beacons by 2009 at the latest, as this is when the switch-over will be completed.

Three types of distress beacons are in use: Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs), used on aircraft; Emergency Positioning Indicator Radio Beacons (EPIRBs), used on vessels; and Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), used by land-based personnel.

The impact of this change should be negligible aboard Canadian vessels as there are no 121.5 MHz marine EPIRBs that have a valid technical acceptance certificate (TAC) under the Radiocommunication Act. Therefore, it is illegal for anyone to sell or fit such an EPIRB in Canada or aboard a Canadian vessel. Only those COSPAS-SARSAT EPIRBs transmitting on 406 MHz are approved for use in Canada and these units will not be impacted by this change in satellite detection.

The use of 406 MHz distress beacons over the 121.5/243 MHz distress beacons will minimize the problems with false alerts being received by rescue coordination centres. Since its inception in 1982 the COSPAS-SARSAT System has provided distress alert information which has assisted in the rescue of over 18,865 persons in 5,317 distress situations.

Mariners are encouraged to fit float-free EPIRBs and register their COSPAS-SARSAT 406 MHz EPIRBs free-of-charge with the Canadian Beacon Database by telephone 1-800-727-9414 by facsimile 613-996-3746 or, on the Website at http://www.nss.gc.ca/site/cospas-sarsat/emergencyBeacon_e.asp.

Discontinuation of INMARSAT 'E' EPIRB monitoring service as of December 1, 2006

INMARSAT has discontinued their monitoring service of INMARSAT ' E ' EPIRB distress alerts as of December 1, 2006. Mariners should check with INMARSAT for exchange of any currently held INMARSAT ' E ' EPIRBs. Further, mariners should only purchase and fit COSPAS-SARSAT 406 MHz EPIRBs from now on.
