Chart Correction System
Background
Information
The Chart/Publication Correction Record Card System is used to
conserve nautical charts and publications and to reduce the amount of
chart correction work aboard ship. The Notice to Mariners, Local
Notice to Mariners, Summary of Corrections, NAVTEX and SafetyNet
are considered component parts of the system.
The Chart/Publication Correction Record Card, shown in figure 1-17, is
designed for use in recording all Notice to Mariners corrections affecting
charts and publications held on board. Initially, the cards are furnished
to Navy ships. Additional cards may be ordered from DMAODS. With
this record, only the charts and publications of the operating area need
be corrected (ready charts).
Charts and publications not immediately required for use may be
updated as areas of operations change or as directed by the commanding
officer. A record must be maintained for Notice to Mariners corrections
to all charts and publications carried aboard, with actual corrections
being made on all charts and publications before they are used for
navigational purposes. Never use an uncorrected chart for navigation
purposes.
