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 to corruption of 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 theMariners 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 and include notices up to the
preceding Saturday, the date of printing.
Charts and Positions
The notices in Section II give instructions for the updating of standard navigational 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 Small Craft Products are referred to different horizontal datums
than the standard navigational charts for that geographical area, positions in the notices cannot be plotted directly on
the Small Craft 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. They are printed on one side of the paper in order that they
may be cut up and filed and are placed at the end of Section II. 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 (NP 100) gives a fuller explanation of the limitations of charts. Annual Notice 9 gives the
UKHO policy for the promulgation and selection of safety-critical information for charts. Details of chart updating
methods can be found in NP294, ‘‘How to correct your charts the Admiralty way’’, published October 1997. 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 a
significant amendment. In the case of a new light, an asterisk (*) will appear under all columns. New and extensively
altered entries are intended to be pasted in. It is recommended that a manuscript entry is made for all shorter
corrections.
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.
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. A list of amendments in force is published in Section IV of the Weekly
Edition for the last week of each month.
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 current supplement,
but, if this is done, when a new supplement is received care must be taken to retain those amendments issued after the
date of the new supplement, which may be several months before its receipt on board.
Radio Navigational Warnings
See Note at the start of Section III.
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.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Laws and Regulations
While, in the interests of the safety of shipping, the UK Hydrographic Office 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 must 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.
