ADMIRALTY NOTICES
TO MARINERS
This Admiralty Notices to Mariners Bulletin (ANMB) is published by the UK Hydrographic
Office (UKHO). The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency accepts that both the paper and
digital forms of the ANMB comply with carriage requirement for Notices to Mariners within
Regulation 19.2.1.4 of the revised Chapter V of the Safety of Life at Sea Convention, and the
Merchant Shipping (Safety of Navigation) Regulations, both of which came into force 1 July
2002.
While every effort is made to ensure that the data provided through the Notices to Mariners
service is accurate, the user needs to be aware of the risks of corruption to data. It is important
that the user should only use the data on suitable equipment and that other applications should
not be running on the user’s machine at the same time. Users should exercise their
professional judgement in the use of data and also consult the Mariners’ Handbook (NP100)
for further details.
The user needs to be aware that there is a possibility that data could be corrupted during
transmission, or in the process of display or printing on the user’s equipment, or if converted
to other software formats, and is accordingly advised that the UKHO cannot accept
responsibility for any such change, or any modifications or unauthorised changes, made by
licensees, or other parties.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Dating
Weekly Notices are dated for the Thursday appropriate to the week they are issued on the UKHO website.
Charts and Positions

The notices in Section II give instructions for the updating of standard nautical charts and selected thematic charts in
the Admiralty series. Geographical positions refer to the horizontal datum of the current edition of each affected chart
which is stated in the notice alongside the appropriate chart number. Positions 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. Where Leisure Products are referred to different horizontal datums from the standard
nautical charts for that geographical area, positions in the notices cannot be plotted directly on these products. Bearings
are true reckoned clockwise from 000° to 359°; those relating to lights are from seaward. Symbols referred to are those
shown on Chart 5011. Depths and heights are given in metres or fathoms and/or feet as appropriate for the chart being
updated (abbreviated where necessary to m, fm and ft respectively). Blocks and notes accompanying notices in Section
II are placed towards the end of the section.
Temporary and Preliminary Notices

These are indicated by (T) or (P) after the notice number and are placed at the end of Section II. They are printed on
one side of the paper in order that they may be cut up and filed. To assist in filing, the year is indicated after the notice
number and an in-force list is published monthly. Information from these notices is not included on charts before
issue; charts should be updated in pencil on receipt.
Original Information
A star adjacent to the number of a notice indicates that the notice is based on original information.
Further Guidance
The Mariner’s Handbook (NP100) gives a fuller explanation of the limitations of charts. Annual Notice 9 gives the
UKHO policy for the promulgation and selection of navigationally significant information for charts. Details of chart
updating methods can be found in NP294, ‘‘How to Keep Your Admiralty Charts Up-to-date’’. All users are advised
to study these publications.
Lights
When a light is affected by a notice its Light List number is quoted. The detailed amendment to the List of Lights is
given in Section V and may be published in an earlier edition than the chart-updating notice. The entire entry for each
light amended will be printed (including minor changes) and an asterisk (*) will denote which column contains an
amendment. In the case of a new light, or where a new sequence is added below the main light, an asterisk (*) will
appear under all columns. All Section V entries are intended to be cut out and pasted into the book. It is emphasised
that the List of Lights is the primary source of information on lights and that many alterations, especially those of a
temporary but operational nature, are promulgated only as corrections to the List of Lights. Light positions should
be regarded as approximate and are intended to indicate the relative positions of lights only. Charts should be
consulted for a more authoritative position. The range of a light is normally the nominal range, except when the
responsible authority quotes luminous or geographical range.
Radio Signals
When a chart-updating notice is issued for information that is also included within Admiralty List of Radio Signals, the
appropriate volume reference number is quoted, followed in parentheses by the number of the Weekly Edition
containing (in Section VI) the corresponding amendment to the service details.
The amendments in Section VI should be cut out and pasted into the appropriate volumes.
Sailing Directions
Amendments to Sailing Directions are given in Section IV. Those in force at the end of the year are reprinted in the
Annual Summary of Notices to Mariners (NP 247). A list of amendments in force is published in Section IV of the
Weekly Edition quarterly.
For volumes of Sailing Directions maintained by Continuous Revision, amendments may be cut out and
pasted/corrected directly in to the book. Alternatively, and for the remaining volumes of Sailing Directions maintained
by Supplement, it is recommended that amendments are kept in a file with the latest list of amendments in force on
top. The list should then be consulted when using the parent book to see if any amendments, affecting the area under
consideration, are in force. It is not recommended that amendments be stuck in the parent book, or the supplement of
Sailing Directions maintained by supplement.
Radio Navigational Warnings

CAUTIONARY NOTES
Updating
Updating information is published by Weekly Notices to Mariners supplemented by radio warnings for items of
immediate importance. It should be borne in mind that they may be based on reports which cannot always be verified
before promulgation, and that it is sometimes necessary to be selective and promulgate only the more important items
to avoid overloading users; the remainder being included in revised editions of the charts and publications concerned.
Laws and Regulations

While, in the interests of the safety of shipping, the UKHO makes every endeavour to include in its publications details
of the laws and regulations of all countries appertaining to navigation, it must be clearly understood:—
(a) that no liability whatsoever can be accepted for failure to publish details of any particular law or regulation, and
(b) that publication of the details of a law or regulation is solely for the safety and convenience of shipping and
implies no recognition of the international validity of the law or regulation.
Reliance on Charts and Associated Publications

While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information on Admiralty 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 he can place on the information given, bearing in mind his 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.
Satellite-Derived Positions and Chart Accuracy
Mariners must not assume that charts which are referred to WGS84 Datum, or those for which shifts to WGS84 Datum
are provided, have been surveyed to modern standards of accuracy. On some charts, owing to the age and quality of the
source information, some of the charted detail may not be positioned accurately. In such cases mariners are advised to
exercise particular caution when navigating in the vicinity of dangers, even when using an electronic positioning system
such as GPS. For further details, see Annual Notice to Mariners No 19 and The Mariner’s Handbook (NP100), Chapter
2. This applies to both paper and digital (ARCS and ENC) versions.

1656 VESSELS AND OTHER MARITIME INTERESTS.

1. This MARAD Advisory provides suggested way points for commercial vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden.
2. Marlo Bahrain sent a message on 25 August which stated that the Commander, US Naval Central Command has
directed the establishment of a Maritime Security Patrol Area (MSPA) in the Gulf of Aden.
3. Furthermore, a force of coalition navy warships will patrol the area, and aircraft will fly in the airspace above.
Commodore Bob Davidson (Canadian Navy), Commander Combined Task Force 150, will command naval forces in
the patrol area. The MSPA is being established in support of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO)
ongoing efforts. Coalition actions will give the IMO time to establish international preventative efforts that will
ultimately lead to a long term solution. Coalition ships are in the area as part of our continual presence in this region.
While they have conducted routine operations in the area in the past, the establishment of the MSPA will focus the
efforts to counter destabilizing activities in the region and improve security while long-term initiatives mature.
4. Suggested corridor through the Gulf of Aden is along track-line joining:
12-15N 045-00E, 12-35N 045-00E, 13-35N 049-00E, 14-10N 050-00E, 14-15N 050-00E, 14-15N050-00E, 14-35N

300 NIGERIAN TERRITORIAL WATERS. MARAD ADVISORY 2008-01.
1. This MARAD advisory on maritime crime in Niger delta area of Nigerian territorial waters originated from the
National Maritime Intelligence Center, Office of Naval Intelligence.
2. Nineteen acts of aggression against vessels have been reported in the Niger Delta region since September 2007.
Sixteen incidents occurred in Rivers State in the vicinity of Bonny River between Port Harcourt and Bonny. Three
occurred in the vicinity of Escravos in Delta State.
3. A leading Niger Delta militant group said on 10 Jan 08 that it sponsored ‘freelance freedom fighters’ who
reportedly shot at six oil industry ships on 9 Jan 08, and threatened a bigger attack. In an email to the media a
loosely-identified group referred to as the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) said it
sponsored gunmen who shot at six oil-industry vessels in the Bonny River Channel, in which two people were injured.
“MEND will be supporting these small independent groups to harass and sabotage the oil industry at will,” the group
said. MEND is an umbrella organization for several heavily-armed militias in the Niger Delta, an impoverished
region of mangrove-lined creeks and swamp which is home to most of Nigeria’s oil reserve.
4. Additionally, in 2007, there have been reports of excessive fines levied by Nigerian drug enforcement officers on
crew members for vessels calling on Nigerian ports. The port of Lagos had 24 incidents of concern reported by
mariners in 2007.
5. Extreme caution and vigilance should be exercised in the Niger Delta area of Nigerian waters.

ANNEX A
USA Government Special Warnings in force on 18 December 2008
SPECIAL WARNING NUMBER 1
Navigational warnings broadcast by NGA are normally divided into two categories, Hydrolants and Hydropacs, referring
respectively to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It has been determined there now exists a need for disseminating information of
general interest not covered by the above categories. Therefore, with this message the Special Warnings series is reintroduced.
The messages will be transmitted from all U.S. Navy and Coast Guard Stations broadcasting Hydrolants and Hydropacs.
In January 1977, NGA commenced issuing warnings as Navareas IV and XII broadcasts in addition to the Hydrolant and
Hydropac series.
(Issued 27 May 1948) (Updated 1 Jan 1977)

CUBA
1. Mariners are advised to use extreme caution in transiting the waters surrounding Cuba. Within distances extending in some
cases upwards of 20 miles from the Cuban coast, vessels have been stopped and boarded by Cuban authorities. Cuba vigorously
enforces a 12 mile territorial sea extending from straight baselines drawn from Cuban coastal points. The effect is that Cuba's
claimed territorial sea extends in many cases beyond 12 miles from Cuba's physical coastline.
2. The publication of this notice is solely for the purpose of advising United States mariners of information relevant to
navigational safety and in no way constitutes a legal recognition by the United States of the validity of any foreign rule, regulation,
or proclamation so published.
(Issued 1 Mar 1962) (Updated 1 Jan 1982)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA - BOUGAINVILLE COAST
1. Bougainville Island declared unilateral independence from Papua New Guinea 17 May 1990. The Government of Papua New
Guinea does not recognize the declaration. Consequently, the political situation may be tense in the future.
2. The following Notice to Mariners No 36/90 issued by the Government of Papua New Guinea is quoted in its entirety:
"Overseas vessels are advised to stand clear of the islands of Bougainville and Buka and to remain outside of territorial waters
extending 12 miles from the coast of Bougainville and immediately adjacent islands but excluding Solomon Islands Territory, and
excluding the groups of islands or atolls known as Feni, Green, Nuguria, Carteret, Mortlock and Tasman. Any vessel entering the
waters adjacent to Bougainville or Buka will be subject to stop and search powers. This notice to mariners is effective
immediately (22 May 1990) in respect to overseas shipping. Papua New Guinea coastal vessels will be restricted as of midnight
local time on 20 May 1990. Restrictions will continue for an indefinite period. Charts affected: BA 214, BA 2766, BA 3419,
BA 3420, BA 3830, BA 3994, and BA 4604. Department of Transport. Port Moresby. Papua New Guinea".
3. U.S. mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution in entering and transiting the waters of Bougainville.
(Issued 25 May 1990)

LIBYA
1. Due to unsettled relations between the United States Government and the Government of Libya, U.S. mariners are advised to
exercise caution in transiting the waters of the Gulf of Sirte South of 32-30′N. The United States does not maintain an embassy in
Libya and cannot ensure the safety of citizens.

MOROCCO
1. U.S. mariners are advised to exercise caution within the territorial waters claimed by Morocco. Moroccan coastal protection
warships, while engaged in anti-drug smuggling activities or enforcing territorial fishing rights, have been known to open fire on
innocent vessels.
(Issued 31 Aug 1990)

WEST COAST OF AFRICA - WESTERN SAHARA
1. Prior to the September 1991 cease-fire between Morocco and the Polisario, unprovoked attacks on shipping off the coast of the
Western Sahara by Polisario Guerrillas using machine guns, grenades and mortars occurred, resulting in the loss of life and
property.
2. Despite the cease-fire, the potential for violent incidents still exists. Mariners are advised to continue using extreme caution
and remain well offshore when transiting the waters off the west coast of Africa between 27-40N 013-11W and Cap Blanc

LIBERIA
1. Mariners are advised to use caution when sailing near the coast of Liberia.
2. The United Nations Security Council has passed Resolution 788 (19 Nov 1992), which says that "all states shall, for the
purposes of establishing peace and stability in Liberia, immediately implement a general and complete embargo on all deliveries
of weapons and military equipment to Liberia until the Security Council decides otherwise". Resolution 788 also "requests all
states to respect the measures established by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to bring about a
peaceful solution to the conflict in Liberia".

SRI LANKA
1. Sri Lanka has announced that entrance by unauthorised vessels into the waters of Palk Strait and the Eastern territorial waters of
Sri Lanka is prohibited because of increased acts of terrorism against shipping and Sri Lankan naval vessels. Sri Lanka requires
that vessels in the vicinity contact the Sri Lankan Command (Tel: 941-42-30-19, Fax: 941-433-986) for authorization if they wish
to enter these areas.
2. The Government also has established a restrictive zone in coastal waters along the West coast from Kalptiya to Colombo Port's
Southern backwaters. Written permission from the Sri Lankan Command is required for entry into these waters as well. Sri
Lankan authorities have advised that they will fire on violators.
3. The U.S. Embassy in Colombo reports that between July and September 1997, at least three foreign flag merchant vessels were
attacked by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). One vessel operating as a passenger ferry off Mannar on the Northwest
coast was set on fire and sunk. A second vessel departing North from the Jafna peninsular was hijacked, stripped of equipment,
and its crew temporarily held by the terrorists. One crew member was killed during the hijacking. A third vessel was loading a
mineral cargo off the Northeast coast near Pulmoddai when it was attacked and at least five members of its crew killed.
4. Any anti-shipping activity should be reported to NGA NAVSAFETY, U.S. State Department or the nearest U.S. Consulate.

SUDAN
1. In January 1996 the Department of State warned all U.S. citizens against travel to Sudan due to ongoing violence within the
country. Citing the U.S. Government's suspension of its diplomatic presence in Sudan, the Department advised that its ability to
provide emergency consular services would be severely limited. In August 1998 the State Department again warned U.S. citizens
against travel to Sudan following the recent U.S. air strikes against terrorist facilities and possible threats to Americans and
American interests in that country. The latter warning (No. 98-041) remains in effect to date.
2. In November 1997 President Clinton issued Executive Order 13067 imposing a U.S. trade embargo against Sudan. Among the
prohibited activities are any transaction by a United States person relating to transportation of cargo to or from Sudan. United
States person is defined as any U.S. citizen, permanent resident, entity organized under U.S. law, or person in the United States.
The embargo is still in effect.
3. Notwithstanding the pre-existing travel warning and ongoing U.S. trade embargo, the recent U.S. missile attack on a chemical
plant in Khartoum has raised concerns of possible retaliation against U.S. citizens and/or commercial interests. U.S. mariners are
therefore urged to avoid Port Sudan or other Sudanese ports. U.S. vessels are also advised to remain well clear of Sudanese
territorial waters in the Western Red Sea.
(Issued 20 October 1998)

YEMEN
1. The level of risk for foreigners remains high. On 12 Oct 2000, several U.S. citizens were killed and many more were injured in
an incident involving a U.S. Navy ship in the port of Aden, Yemen, in what may have been a terrorist attack. An explosion in the
morning of 13 Oct 2000 caused minor damage to the British embassy in Sana'a, Yemen and no casualties. While U.S. and
Yemeni officials are still cooperating closely to determine the cause of the tragic explosion, the investigation has only started.
Under these circumstances, U.S. mariners should avoid Yemeni ports for the present.
2. In the light of this and other recent events, the U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens to defer travel to Yemen. U.S.
citizens should exercise a very high level of caution and should only travel between cities by air or with an armed escort. They
should register with the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a and remain in contact with the embassy for updated security information at
(967)(1)238-844 through 238-852.

IRAN
1. Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution when transiting the waters of the North Persian Gulf.
2. Iranian-flag speedboats and patrol craft operating in Iranian and international waters have boarded vessels and demanded
payment before the vessels are allowed to proceed.
3. Mariners should exercise extreme caution and vigilance when operating in this area, and should obtain and evaluate current
warning information broadcasted by the National Geospatal-Intelligence Agency (NGA) via Hydropac broadcasts. U.S. citizens
may also wish to refer to the State Departments travel warning for Iran.
4. Any anti-shipping activity should be reported to NGA Navsafety Betheseda MD or Navsafety@NGA..Mil via ship hostile
action report (SHAR) procedures (see NIMA pub 117 - chapter 4), or directly to the U.S. State Department, or nearest U.S.
Embassy or U.S. Consulate.

PERSIAN GULF
1. In the Persian Gulf, multinational naval units continue to conduct a maritime operation to intercept the import and export of
commodities and products to/from Iraq that are prohibited by UN Security Council Resolution 661 and 687.
2. Vessels transiting the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman can expect to be queried and, if bound for or departing from Iraq or the
Shatt Al 'Arab Waterway, also intercepted and boarded. Safe navigation may require vessels to be diverted to a port or anchorage
prior to conducting an inspection.
3. Maritime interception operations in the Red Sea, Strait of Tiran and Strait of Hormuz have ceased. Cargo bound for Aqaba or
transshipment from Aqaba will be inspected on shore according to an agreement worked out by the UN Sanctions Committee and
Jordanian authorities.
4. Documentation requirements for the naval regime in the Persian Gulf and the shore-based regime in Aqaba are identical and
can be found in the most recent Hydropacs covering the enforcement of UN Sanctions against Iraq.
5. Stowage and other requirements for vessels transiting the Persian Gulf can also be found in the most recent Hydropacs covering
the enforcement of US Sanctions against Iraq.
6. Ships which, after being intercepted, are determined to be in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 661 will not be
allowed to proceed with their planned transit.
7. The intercepting ship may also use all available communications, primarily VHF Channel 16, but including international code
of signals, flag hoists, other radio equipment, signal lamps, loudspeakers, bow shots and other appropriate means to communicate
directions to a ship.
8. Failure of a ship to proceed as directed will result in the use of the minimum level of force necessay to ensure compliance.
9. Any ships, including waterborne craft and armed merchant ships. or aircraft, which threaten or interfere with multinational
forces engaged in enforcing a maritime interception may be considered hostile.

PAKISTAN
1. Mariners calling on Pakistan are advised that levels of sectarian and factional violence remains high. Karachi, the main port,
continues to be affected by politically motivated killings.
2. On March 8 1995, unknown assailants opened fire on an official U.S. consulate shuttle in Karachi, killing two embassy
employees and wounding a third.
3. Anti-American sentiment can be provoked easily and spontaneously in response to international events that radicals
misconstrue as directed against Islam. For example, the UN Resolution on sanctions against Afghanistan resulted in sporadic
anti-American protests.
4. Port facilities and vessels may offer targets of opportunity for terrorist attacks. U.S. mariners are advised to exercise
heightened awareness and prudent security precautions when in Pakistani ports and waters.
(Issued 5 Mar 2001)

ALGERIA
1. Due to the potential for domestic unrest and anti-foreign violence, U.S. mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution when
in Algerian waters. Although there has only been one attack against foreigners since 1997, the level of risk in Algeria remains
high.
2. Attacks against maritime vessels in Algerian ports have already taken place several years ago. The U.S. Embassy in Algiers
specifically identifies ports, railway stations and trains, and airline terminals as terrorist targets. Commercial shipping should
remain on maximum alert when in Algerian waters and maintain adequate security precautions.
3. The Department of State recommends that U.S. citizens evaluate carefully the implications for their security and safety before
deciding to travel to Algeria, and that Americans in Algeria whose circumstances do not afford them effective (armed) protection
depart the country. Americans arriving in the country should not disembark and travel within the country without adequate,
including armed, protection immediately upon arrival.

LEBANON
1. The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens, including U.S. mariners, of the risks of travel to Lebanon and recommends
that Americans exercise caution while travelling there. During Lebanon's civil conflict from 1975 to 1990, Americans were
targets of numerous terrorist attacks in Lebanon. While there have been very few such incidents in recent years, the perpetrators
of these attacks are still present in Lebanon and retain the ability to act.
2. The local security environment can limit the movement of U.S. officials in certain areas of the country. This factor, plus
limited staffing, may prevent the U.S. embassy from performing full consular fuctions and providing timely assistance to U.S.
citizens in Lebanon. Dual nationals and spouses of Lebanese citizens can encounter particular difficulties, and should see the
Department of State consular information sheet on Lebanon. U.S. citizens who travel to Lebanon despite this warning should
exercise extreme caution. U.S. citizens travelling to Lebanon are encouraged to register at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut.
3. The security situation may change rapidly, and visitors to Lebanon should monitor the news for reports of incidents that might
affect their personal safety.

SIERRA LEONE
1. Mariners are strongly advised not to use any ports in Sierra Leone except for the port of Freetown, which is currently
considered to provide safe harbourage. Mariners should note that the Department of State warns U.S. citizens against travel to
Sierra Leone. Although the security situation in Freetown has improved somewhat, areas outside the capital are still very
dangerous.
2. The Department of State has terminated the ordered departure status of U.S. government personnel in non-emergency
positions. However, the U.S. Embassy in Freetown currently operates with a reduced staff. Only emergency consular services to
U.S. citizens are available, and the embassy's ability to provide these services is limited. U.S. citizens in Sierra Leone should
review their own personal security situations in determining whether to remain in the country.

WORLDWIDE
1. Due to recent events in the Middle East and the American Homeland, U.S. forces worldwide are operating at a heightened state
of readiness and taking additional defensive precautions against terrorists and other potential threats. Consequently, all aircraft,
surface vessels, and sub-surface vessels approaching U.S. forces are requested to maintain radio contact with U.S forces on
bridge-to-bridge channel 16, international air distress (121.5 Mhz VHF) or MILAIR distress (243.0 Mhz UHF).
2. U.S. forces will exercise appropriate measures in self-defence if warranted by the circumstances. Aircraft, surface vessels, and
sub-surface vessels approaching U.S. forces will, by making prior contacts as described above, help make their intentions clear
and avoid unnecessary initiation of such defensive measures.
3. U.S. forces, especially when operating in confined waters, shall remain mindful of navigational considerations of aircraft,
surface vessels, and sub-surface vessels in their immediate vicinity.
4. Nothing in the Special Warning is intended to impede or otherwise interfere with the freedom of navigation or overflight of any
vessel or aircraft, or to limit or expand the inherent self-defence rights of U.S. forces. This Special Warning is published solely to
advise of the heightened state of readiness of U.S. forces and to request that radio contact be maintained as described above.

PERSIAN GULF
1. Coalition naval forces may conduct military operations in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea,
Gulf of Omen and Arabian Gulf. The timely and accurate identification of all vessels and aircraft in these areas are critical to avoid
the inadvertent use of force.
2. All vessels are advised that Coalition naval forces are prepared to exercise appropriate measures in self-defence to ensure their
safety in the event they are approached by vessels or aircraft. Coalition forces are prepared to respond decisively to any hostile acts
or indications of hostile intent. All maritime vessels or activities that are determined to be threats to Coalition naval forces will be
subject to defensive measures, including boarding, seizure, disabling or destruction, without regard to registry or location.
Consequently, surface vessels, subsurface vessels and all aircraft approaching Coalition naval forces are advised to maintain radio
contact on bridge-to-bridge channel 16, international air distress (121.5 MHz VHF) or military air distress (243.0 MHz UHF).
3. Vessels operating in the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Omen, Arabian Sea and Arabian Gulf are
subject to query, being stopped, boarded and searched by U.S. Coalition warships operating in support of operations against Iraq.
Vessels found to be carrying contraband for Iraq or carrying and/or laying naval mines are subject to detention, seizure and
destruction. This notice is effective immediately and will remain in effect until further notice

EAST AFRICA
As of early 2005, the U.S. Government has received unconfirmed information that terrorists may attempt to mount a maritime
attack using speedboats against a western ship, possibly in East Africa. This information is unconfirmed and the U.S. is not
aware of additional information on the planning, timing or intended targets of the maritime attack.

SOMALIA.
1. Due to continuing conditions of armed conflict and lawlessness in Somalia and waters off its coast, mariners are advised to
avoid the port of Muqdisho (Mogadishu) and to remain at least 200 nautical miles from the Somali coast. The U.S. Government
does not have an Embassy in Somalia and cannot provide services to U.S. citizens.
2. Recent vessel hijackings off the east coast of Somalia demonstrate that pirates are able to conduct at sea hijackings from as
far south as Kismaayo (Chisimayu) (00-22S), though vessels are advised to transit no closer than 02-00S, to as far north as Eyl
(08-00N), and out to a distance of 170 miles. The first known attempt to hijack a cruise vessel occurred in November 2005. All
merchant vessels transiting the coast of Somalia, no matter how far offshore, should increase anti-piracy precautions and
maintain a heightened state of vigilance. Pirates are reported to have used previously hijacked ships as bases for further
attacks.
3. Another reported pirate tactic has been to issue a false distress call to lure a ship close inshore. Therefore, caution should be
taken when responding to distress calls keeping in mind it may be a tactic to lure a vessel into a trap.
4. Victimized vessels have reported two to three speedboats measuring six to nine metres in length. Each vessel has a crew of
three to six armed men with AK-47’s and shoulder launched rockets, which are opening fire on vessels in broad daylight in
order to intimidate them into stopping.
5. To date, vessels that increase speed and take evasive manoeuvres avoid boarding while those that slow down are boarded,
taken to the Somali coastline, and released after successful ransom payment, often after protracted negotiations of as much as
11 weeks.(Issued 11 Nov 2005)

NICARAGUA
1. Mariners operating small vessels such as yachts and fishing boats should note that Nicaragua has boundary disputes with its
neighbours in both its Caribbean and Pacific waters, and should exercise caution.
2. The Caribbean waters lying generally south of the 15th parallel and east of the 82nd up to the 79th meridians are subject to a
current dispute between Nicaragua and Colombia.
3. The International Court of Justice has delimited a new maritime boundary line awarding maritime areas to the Government of
Nicaragua previously claimed by Honduras above the 15th parallel and apparently east of the 82nd meridian.
4. The Nicaraguan Navy is patrolling portions of this maritime space, enforcing the requirement that fishing vessels hold a valid
Nicaraguan fishing licence, and has seized vessels not in compliance.
5. There have been cases where Nicaraguan authorities have seized foreign-flagged fishing vessels and other vessels off the
Nicaraguan coast. The government of Nicaragua imposes heavy fines on parties caught fishing illegally within waters of
Nicaragua’s jurisdiction.
6. While in all cases passengers and crew have been released within a period of several weeks, in some cases the ships have been
searched, personal gear and navigational equipment has disappeared, and Nicaraguan authorities have held seized vessels for
excessive periods.
7. Prompt US Embassy consular access to detained US citizens on Nicaragua's Caribbean Coast may not be possible because of
delays in notification due to the relative isolation of the region.
8. There have been reported incidents of piracy in Caribbean and Pacific waters off the coast of Nicaragua, but the Nicaraguan
Navy has increased its patrols and no recent incidents have been reported.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTE
Forwarding information for British Admiralty Charts and
Hydrographic Publications
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mariners are requested to notify the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office, Admiralty Way, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 2DN,
United Kingdom, when new or suspected dangers to navigation are discovered, changes observed in aids to navigation, or
corrections to publications are seen to be necessary. The Mariner’s Handbook (NP 100) Chapter 8 gives general instructions. If
practicable the Mariner should contact the originating hydrographic office when navigating on non--UKHO ENCs. The
provisions of international and national laws should be complied with when forwarding such reports.
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 United Kingdom Hydrographic Office at the above address or principal
Chart Agents (see Annual Notice to Mariners No. 2).
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 and the raw readings of the navigation system in use, should be quoted
wherever possible.
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 (where applicable) used should be given.
4. Paper charts: A cutting from the largest scale 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 on the chart itself) these should be in red as above, but adequate
details from the chart must be traced in black ink to enable the amendments to be fitted correctly.
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 Mariner’s 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
set should also be given.
6. Modern echo sounders frequently record signals from echoes received back after one or more rotations of the stylus have
been completed. Thus with a set whose maximum range is 500m, an echo recorded at 50m may be from depths of 50m, 550m
or even 1050m. Soundings recorded beyond the set’s nominal range can usually be recognised by the following:
(a) the trace being weaker than normal for the depth recorded,
(b) the trace passing through the transmission line,
(c) the feathery nature of the trace.
As a check that apparently shoal soundings are not due to echoes received beyond the set’s nominal range, soundings should
be continued until reasonable agreement with charted soundings is reached. However, soundings received after one or more
rotations of the stylus can still be useful and should be submitted if they show significant differences from charted depths.
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.
9. Port information should be forwarded on Form H.102a together with Form H.102. Form H.102a lists the information
required for Admiralty Sailing Directions and should be used as an aide memoire. Where there is insufficient space on the
form an additional sheet should be used.
10. Reports on ocean currents should be made in accordance with The Mariner’s Handbook.
Note. An acknowledgement or 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 Notice to Mariners is issued, the sender’s ship or name is
quoted as authority unless (as sometimes happens) the information is also received from other authorities. An explanation of
the use made of contributions from all parts of the world would be too great a task and a further communication should only be
expected when the information is of outstanding value or has unusual features.
