Assists bridge crews in identifying outstanding NMs and audit trails for particular charts. This is published six-monthly in January (NP234A) and in July (NP234B). This publication is available in both paper format and as an ADMIRALTY e-Nautical Publication (AENP).
It is extremely important that all chart users keep their paper charts up-to-date for the latest safety-critical information. It is necessary to meet chart carriage regulations and to keep your vessel and all onboard safe.
Australian published paper nautical charts are updated via fortnightly Australian Notices to Mariners (NtM) Editions. However, in extreme circumstances an Austcoast warning may be issued by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
The relevant notices can be found on the Notices to Mariners section of this website or can be supplied automatically, via the eNotices subscription email service.
Austcoast warnings are broadcast to mariners operating within Australian waters by AMSA across the Coast Radio Network, when new safety-critical information is too urgent to wait until the next fortnightly Australian NtM edition release.
Paper charts are also updated by incorporating all the changes in a new edition. These are produced when substantial new survey or other information is received of a size too large to promulgate via Permanent Notice or a Block update.
Comprehensive instructions on how to update paper charts for NtM updates can be found in the free Australian Chart & Publication Maintenance Handbook, also published by the AHO on this website. Less detailed instructions are also available in the Guide to Updating Nautical Charts fact sheet.
