What is eNotices?

Users must register to use the service on this web site. Users create their portfolio of charts by selecting charts from a scrollable list at registration time. Then as Australian Notices to Mariners are published, registered users are automatically emailed only the Notices to Mariners that affect their portfolio of charts. This is currently performed on a fortnightly basis aligned with the release of fortnightly Australian Notices to Mariners Editions.

This service is very useful for all mariners whether they have a small set of charts or the entire catalogue as only the notices that apply for the current edition are emailed to you. All you need is a working email account for the Notices to Mariners to be sent to you and you are on your way to receiving the latest Notices to Mariners automatically.

What types of Notices are included in eNotices?

Permanent, Temporary and Preliminary Notices to Mariners are all included in eNotices in an easy to read text format.

Blocks, tracings or Part 1 of the Australian Notices to Mariners (charts and publications published or withdrawn) are not included in eNotices, however links to blocks are included in the emails. This allows eNotices email file sizes to remain small compared to the full fortnightly Australian Notice to Mariners, and therefore is more easily downloaded at sea. Full fortnightly Australian Notices to Mariners (including accompanying blocks and tracings) are available from the View Notices to Mariners section of this web site each fortnight.

In late 2005 this service was extended to include notices for Australian Nautical Publications including the Australian Seafarers Handbook, Australian National Tide Table and Australian Annual Notices to Mariners.

What does eNotices cost?

eNotices is a free service.
