1. CHARTS

1.1. Chart 1 - INT 1

The INT 1 gives an overview of international signs, abbreviations and terms used on nautical charts.It is regularly published in Dutch by the Flemish Hydrography.

1.2. Paper Charts

Covered area:• Belgian and adjacent Dutch and French coasts• Western Scheldt and Sea Scheldt up to Wintam

1.2.1. Charts

Nautical paper charts are national and international separate large charts.

Several member states of the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) publish INTernational nautical papercharts. These charts can be incorporated in the other members’ national series, thanks to the standardisation of thepresentation. Apart from a worldwide INT-charts series on a scale of 1:3.5 million to 1:10 million, the number of middleand large scale INT-charts available is steadily growing.Some of the Belgian paper charts are part of this INT-charts series. These charts do not only get an internationalnumber, printed in magenta and preceded by “INT”, but also a Belgian chart number.These paper charts are mentioned in this catalogue.

The symbols and their meaning used on these charts are clarified in the INT 1 publication.Each newly published chart features the BaZ number up to which the chart has been corrected and revised (see also 4. Revision of Publications on page 19 in this catalogue).

An overview of the nautical charts is given below in 1.5.1. Chart index P1 on page 6 and in 1.7. Product SpecificationsNautical Charts on page 11.

1.2.2. Chart sets

Covered area:• Western Scheldt and Sea Scheldt up to Wintam• Gent-Terneuzen Canal

Chart-sets consist of several loose overlapping charts, collected in a folder.

Each set of charts contains a legend, explaining most of the used symbols. These symbols are generallyanalogous to the INT 1, described above (1.1.).

Each newly published chart features the BaZ number up to which the chart has been corrected and revised (see also 4. Revision of Publications on page 19 in this catalogue).

An overview of the paper chart-sets is given below in 1.5.2. Chart index P2 on page 7 and in 1.7. ProductSpecifications Nautical Charts on page 11-12.

1.2.3. Overview charts

Covered area:• Western Scheldt (Vlissingen up to Antwerpen)• Belgian North Sea

These charts cover a large area and can be used as overview charts. They are printed on single large map sheets.

The charted symbols and their explanation can be found in the publication INT 1 (see above).

The nautical information is updated till the date which is mentioned in the lower, left corner of the mapsheet. These charts are unsuitable for navigation as they are not updated by the Notices to Mariners.

An overview of the paper chart-sets is given below in 1.5.3. Chart index P3 on page 8 and in 1.7. ProductSpecifications Nautical Charts on page 11-12.

2. HYdROGRAPHiC PUBLiCATiOnS

2.1. Notices to Mariners

The publication Notices to Mariners (Berichten aan Zeevarenden - BaZ) is published every fortnight. The first yearlyedition of this publication, NtM issue 1, gives a general overview of all the messages with a permanent character. Thepublication features recent information of importance to the navigation sector, plus supplements and corrections to the nautical charts. The extremely varied type of information includes the dates and times of army shooting exercises, new buoys placed in the sea and recent wrecks and obstacles.The bulk of the information can be applied straightaway to update nautical charts. These updates ensure seafarersthat their nautical charts always show the most recent information, thus offering them a reliable instrument during their sea trips.

2.2. Tide booklet and tide tables

Knowing high and low water times is of vital importance for seafarers, who have to reckon with shoals and sandbanks.The Flemish Hydrography determines the water level at the tide measuring stations located in Nieuwpoort, Oostendeand Zeebrugge. Longterm measurements form a basis for computing the tide forecasts. The forecasts are included in atouristic booklet and in professional tide tables that are published every year.The tide tables contain all high and low water times in Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Blankenberge, Zeebrugge, Vlissingen,Prosperpolder, Anwerpen and Wintam for the current year.The tidal data for Vlissingen are provided by Rijkswaterstaat, the Netherlands. The tidal data for Prosperpolder,Antwerpen and Wintam are provided by the Hydrological Institute (Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium) in Borgerhout. The calculation of the tidal data for Blankenberge is based upon extrapolation.

2.3. IALA Maritime Buoyage System

Buoyage is an aid to navigators and a means to complete nautical charts. It gives additional direction to seafarers,thus ensuring safe navigation.Until the 60s, every country bordering the sea had its own buoyage system which often led to confusion and evenaccidents. The International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA), located in France, therefore founded aninternational, worldwide used Maritime Buoyage System. All buoys and beacons used throughout the world are descri-bed in our publication “Maritime Buoyage System”.

2.4. List of Lights and Fogsignals

The List of Lights and Fogsignals (Lichtenlijst) has been published every 3 to 4 years starting in 1993. It describes alllights and fogsignals at sea, on the River Scheldt and on the Gent-Terneuzen Canal.Corrections and supplements to this list are published in the Notices to Mariners (BaZ). The list of all corrections andsupplements can be downloaded via http://www.vlaamsehydrografie.be/uplbaz/verbeteringen/verbLl.pdf.

2.5. Tidal Streams Atlas

The Tidal Streams Atlas for the Flemish Banks - North Sea (Stroomatlas voor de Vlaamse Banken - Noordzee)indicates the tidal streams for spring- and neap-tide from 6 hours, 5 hours, etc. before, to 6 hours after high water atZeebrugge.

4.ReViSiOn OF PUBLiCATiOnS

The ENCs are updated by the Flemish Hydrography Services and afterwards offered to the users through the IC-ENC(1) VARS (Value Added Resellers).

The paper sea charts and hydrographic publications are updated on the basis of the Notices to Mariners(NtM). These are biweekly published in book form by the Flemish Hydrography Services and are downloadable via this link http://www.afdelingkust.be/nl/baz

In addition to the Notices of Mariners (NtM), the Maritime Rescue and Coordination Centre (MRCC) also issues NAVAREA messages. These Navigational Warnings contain information needed by mariners for safe navigation. More information about the content of the NAVAREA Messages can be found in the “Manual on Safety Information” on the website www.imo.org

The Navigational Warnings are broadcasted until the situation is restored or until the messages are published in the Notices to Mariners.

The Navigational Warnings are broadcasted by Radio Ostend at regular intervals on Navtex, VHF and MF radio telephone channels (see BAZ No. 1 – Art. 1/4).

The IENCs are updated by the Flemish Hydrography Services on a continuous basis. Once they are finalized they are distributed for free on http:\ris.vlaanderen.be.
