What`s the problem?

  1. What`s the problem? Different names are currently used for the same sea area in products from different nations. This is not only confusing to the mariner but can also be a cause for accidents! The problem exists in the Baltic Sea area but is far more evident in other parts of the world.

  2. Where are the names? • In Navigational and Meteorological Warnings and Weather forecasts. • Names of sea areas in charts • As name of Charts in addition to chart number • Geographical areas in Nautical Publications such as NtM, Pilot Books, List of Lights, List of Radio Signals, Chart Catalogues etc.

  3. Why is it like this? • The IHO publication S-23 is out of date and not usable. • The problem has probably not been addressed to the Regional Hydrographic Commissions
