Department of Environment and Natural Resources
NATIONAL MAPPING AND RESOURCE INFORMATION AUTHORITY
Masters of vessels and other concerned are requested to advance any report
of dangers to navigation and other information affecting Philippine Charts and
Coast Pilots which may come to their attention to the Director, Hydrography
Branch. If such information warrants urgent attention like for instance the non-
existence of aids to navigation or failure of light beacons or similar structure or
discovery of new shoals, all concerned are requested to contact NAMRIA
directly through the following portals:
The Hydrographic Note form at the back cover page of this publication must be
used in reporting information on dangers to navigation, lighted aids, and other
features that should be included in the nautical charts.
Explanatory Notes
1. The Philippine Notices to Mariners is divided to following sections:
Section I. Index of Charts Affected – Contains the list of all nautical charts which
have been affected by Notices to Mariners and the notice numbers which have affected
them.
Corrective Action
Notice No. preceded by asterisk “ * ” indicates that the information is based upon
original Philippine source.
Section II-B. Temporary & Preliminary Notices – Contains Notices to Mariners that
temporarily affects the nautical charts or have preliminary information that is subject to
further verification. The capital “P” or “T” affixed in the number of any notice denotes
“preliminary” or “temporary”, respectively.
A list of Temporary and Preliminary Notices that are still in force, as well as those that
are canceled, is published in this publication every month. The list may be read on page
iv.
Section III-A. Corrections to List of Lights – Contains the corrections to the latest
edition of the Philippine List of Lights. The entire entry for each light will be printed and
the columns that contains updates will be denoted by an asterisk “ * ”. All columns will
be denoted by asterisks in the case of new lights.
This section is intended to be cut out and pasted on the section of the List of Lights that
is being corrected.
All updates to lighted aids, including their operational status, will be published in this
section. All directions and bearings are measured clockwise from true the North 000 o
to 360o. Bearing on lights is based on the observer from seaward toward the light. The
visibility assigned to the lights never exceeds the calculated distance at which they can
be seen from a height of 4.57 meters above the level of the water at high tide.
i
Changes in aids to navigation, their maintenance and correction of deficiencies in
operation are under the operation of the Philippine Coast Guard. Report of defects and
recommendations concerning aids to navigation should be forwarded to the
Commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard.
Section III-B. Coast Pilot Corrections – Contains the corrections to the latest edition
of the Philippine Coast Pilot book.
Section IV. Navigational Warnings – Contains the reprints of all previously issued
navigational warnings that are still in effect as of the publication date of this edition of
the Philippine Notices to Mariners.
Section V. Publication Notices – Contains the latest updates on the nautical charts,
electronic navigational charts, and other nautical publications of NAMRIA.
2. NAMRIA issues Notices to Mariners and Navigational Warnings sourced from private
entities, foreign publications, national government agencies, and local government
units. Such information is published for the sake of safety of navigation on Philippine
waters and does not imply recognition of the legal validity of the information issued by
the abovementioned sources.
3. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of NAMRIA nautical charts and
publications, users should bear in mind that it may not be complete or up-to-date,
especially in areas where there are extensive developments. Mariners are advised to
exercise prudence and to also refer to all navigational equipment aboard ship and use
a lookout during navigation.
4. Masters of vessels are warned that great care should be exercised in navigating
Philippine waters because of the low visibility and occasional failure of some
navigational lights. Buoys and beacons are sometimes lost or destroyed specially after
typhoons. Temporary deficiencies in the standard aids to navigation published in this
office may have been corrected before subsequent notice is issued.
5. Positions obtained from satellite navigation systems, such as GPS, are normally
referred to the WGS-84 Datum. Such position may only be plotted on NAMRIA nautical
charts that are also referred to the WGS-84 Datum. Mariners should take note that due
to the age and quality of some of information, such satellite-derived positions may be
more accurate than charted details.

Subject _______________________________________________________________
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
Hydrography Branch at 421 Barraca St., San Nicolas, Manila, or by requesting thru email at
maritime.affairs@namria.gov.ph.
3. Position: 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 should be
quoted. However, when there is a series of fixes along a ship’s course, only the method of fixing and the
objects used need to be indicated. 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 used should be given.
4. Paper Charts: A cutting from the largest scale paper 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 the chart itself) these should be in red as above, but adequate detail
from the chart must be traced in black ink to enable the amendments to be fitted correctly.
Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs): A screen grab of the largest scale usage band ENC with the
alterations and additions being shown thereon in red.
5. Soundings: When soundings are obtained, it is important to ensure that full details of the method of
collection are included in this report. This include nut no limited to:
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. Changes to Port Information should be forwarded using Hydrographic Note for Port Information.
Where there is insufficient space on the forms additional sheets should be used.
9. Reports using this form and relevant data should be sent either through mail at NAMRIA-
Hydrography Branch, 421 Barraca St., San Nicolas, Manila or through email at
maritime.affairs@namria.gov.com and maritime.concerns@gmail.com.
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; for these purposes, the NAMRIA-
Hydrography Branch may make reproductions of any material supplied. 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 or the sender states that they do not want to be named by using the
appropriate tick box on the form. 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.
