Navarea 17 – Canada
NAVAREA XVII and XVIII (Canada) The NAVAREA XVII and XVIII representative introduced and presented his
SelfAssessment Report, document WWNWS3/3/2-XVII&XVIII. The Canadian representative noted that their
two NAVAREAs started officially on 1 June 2011. They promulgated over 100 warnings in 2010 in each
NAVAREA and that most messages were self-cancelling. Canada has only one NAVTEX station operating
within NAVAREA XV111 and there is no plan to expand the service. The Danish Maritime Safety
Administration is improving NAVTEX coverage on the west coast of Greenland with the installation of 2 new
NAVTEX stations. Canada contingency plan is via the USA and METAREA XV11 and XV111 Coordinator. The
Inmarsat representative asked for any satellite feedback from vessels traveling in the Arctic region. The
Chairman thanked Canada for all of their efforts in successfully going through IOC to FOC without issue.
