Overview
National and international regulations governing international and many other commercial vessels all require up to date nautical charts and publications.
The Chart and Publication Maintenance Handbook provides information to assist mariners to keep their paper and electronic nautical charts and publications up to date, as well as to keep appropriate maintenance records.
By using this book, mariners should be able to meet their obligations to both undertake, and demonstrate, that their official nautical charts and publications are being kept up to date.
The Chart and Publication Maintenance Handbook is updated via periodic new editions. Mariners will be notified via Notices to Mariners if a new edition is released.
