The Hydrographic Note [Form IH – 102] is a convenient form to notify such changes. Specimen form is attached at Section IX with this notice.

Chief Hydrographer to the Government of India WARNING AGAINST USE OF COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS All mariners are cautioned against the use of counterfeit copies of IN Charts and publications. Navigational Charts produced after 31 Oct 14 carry NHO crest as watermark on the reverse with backslip. Chart Agent’s stamp is mandatory on all Charts. Counterfeit products may have errors resulting in potential risks. The same are not approved by inspecting agencies and do not satisfy the carriage requirements of SOLAS chapter V. Mariners are strongly advised not to use or encourage the use of counterfeit charts and publications. Failure to comply with the warning may invite legal action. III EXPLANATORY NOTES Corrections to Charts and Publications. Section I comprises List of Charts affected by the notices contained in this edition. Whereas sections II and III contain information for correcting the charts and publications. Mariners should insist on corrected charts from their chartdistributors/agents. (a) Geographical positions given are in the horizontal datum of the current edition of the chart, unless otherwise stated. (b) Bearings aretrue, reckoned clockwise from000°to 359°. Bearingsto lights are from seaward. (c) Symbols referred to,are those shown on the chart5020 (INT 1). (d) Alterations to depth contours, deletion of depths to make way for new detail, etc; are not normally mentioned,unless they have some navigational significance. (e) Blocks andnotes, if any, accompanying the Notices in Sections II and III are placed after SectionIX. Temporary and Preliminary Notices. These are indicated by (T) and (P) respectively after the Notice number and are placedinSection III.Sl Nos. of those in forcearepublished quarterly on 01Jan, 01 Apr, 01 Jul and 01 Oct, and their textispublished in Annual Edition of Indian Notices to Mariners. They should be inserted in pencil, by the user, on receipt. Source of Information. A star preceding the number of a Notice indicates that the notice is promulgated by INHO based on original informationreceived. Sailing Directions. Corrections for the Sailing Directions(Pilots)are given in Section VI. Lights. Corrections toIndianList ofLightsaregiven in Section VII, where affected Light List number is quoted. (a) These corrections should be incorporated as per instructions given on pageXIof theList of Lights. (b) Such correction notices tolist oflightsmay be published in either an earlier or a later Edition of N to M than the Edition containing the Notice to the chart correction. (c) The range of a light given is its nominal range. Its geographicalrange is given in parenthesis onlyif it isless than the nominal range. (d) A star indicates thatthecorresponding fieldisto be amendedandallstars indicate that new lightisto be inserted. Radio Signals. The corrections in Section VIII should be cut and pasted in the appropriate volume of the List of Radio Signals. Radio Navigational Warnings. (a) These are broadcast as serially numbered NAVAREA warnings by the concerned NAVAREA coordinator through GMDSS and Area Radio Broadcasts. (b) They contain important information affecting navigational safety, which cannot await the publication of the next edition of N to M. (c) It should be borne in mind that they may be based on reports which cannot always be verified before promulgation. (d) It is therefore necessary to be selective, and promulgate onlythe moreimportant warnings to avoid over loading users; the less important information is included in the forthcoming edition of N to M or the Chart/publication concerned. IV Laws and Regulations. While in the interest of the safety of shipping, the Hydrographic Office makes everyendeavor to include in its publications details of the laws and regulations of all countries pertaining 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 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. Correction of Charts and Publications by theUsers. Notices to Mariners contain important information concerning safety of navigation at sea, hence, they should be used to keep the specifiedcharts and publicationsup-to-date. Reliance on Charts and Associated Publications. While every effort is made by the Hydrographic Office to ensure the accuracy of the information on Charts and Publications before they are published, it should be appreciated that it may not always be complete and up-to-date. The mariner must be the final judge for the reliance he can place on the infor- mation available, bearing in mind his particular circumstances, local pilotage guidance and judicious use of available navigational aids. Use of Global Positioning System (WGS 84) positions. (a) The positions of hydrographic objects shown on some of the Indian charts and publications are in Everest datum.However, the positionsof vessels obtained from Global Positioning System (GPS) are on WorldGeodetic System 1984 datum. There will always exist a difference in the position values obtained by visual fixing(Everest Datum) and GPS position(WGS 84 datum). (b) Wherever these differences have been ascertained, their average values are published as a Cautionary Note on the chart concerned, as shiftsin Latitude and Longitude. Whilst plotting GPS positions on charts, the shift values asgiven on the chart must be applied, before making any assessment of the navigational situation vis-à-vis the othercharted information. (c) These datum shift values are not uniform, particularly in areas off AndamanandNicobar andLakshadweep Islands, as these places are not linked to mainlandnetwork(Everestdatum). Mariners areadvised to use alternate source of position information such as Visual or Radar, particularly when closing the shore or navigating in the vicinity of dangers. Source Data on Charts. All Indian charts contain specific information on their source of hydrographic data. In areas where the source data is very old, incomplete and less reliable, the mariner must use such charts with prudence. Mariner should always use thelargest scale chartsavailable for the area. Apart from being the most detailed, the larger scale charts are usually corrected first. Hydrographic information may be sparse on small scale charts. On such charts, a charted shoal may be in error as regards position, least depth and extent. Uncharted dangers may also exist, particularly in areas away from well-established routes. Mariners must exercise due caution. Further Guidance. The Mariner’s Hand Book (NP 100) gives full explanation on the use of charts and the type of information contained on charts. In their own interest, all users of charts should refer to it. V NEWLY PUBLISHED INDIAN CHARTS, ENCs AND PUBLICATION 1.
