Norwegian nautical charts

and nautical publications

 Product catalogue of Norwegian nautical charts and
nautical publications
The product catalogue provides an overview of nautical charts and nautical publications published by
the Norwegian Hydrographic Service. Chart retailers and major chart users rely on this catalogue for
planning their purchases. Vessels should carry the catalogue on board as an aid to the planning and
updating of their stock of charts. The catalogue is free.

 The chart regime
The frequency with which a chart is published depends on factors such as the number and type of
corrections, combined with levels of sales. Norwegian nautical charts are not printed any more. The
charts are continuously updated and can be purchased as POD-Charts (see page 8). If major updates,
the chart is published as "new chart" or " new edition".

New charts
A nautical chart is published in the “new chart” category if it incorporates major modifications in de-
sign, geographical delimitation or content.

A “new chart” represents the first edition of a nautical chart which either:

• covers an area which has not previously been charted at the scale in question.
• incorporates a modified geographical area for a previously existing chart.
• incorporates an updated version of an existing chart in relation to symbols and
• general presentation.
• incorporates the adoption of an international (INT) chart, or a non-Norwegian chart originally.
• published by another state.

When a new chart is published, all previous editions of the chart in question will be made obsolete.
Notifications of corrections to the chart in the Notices to Mariners (Efs) will, from publication date on-
ward, relate only to the new chart.

New editions
If the Norwegian Hydrographic Authority becomes aware of new information regarding critical navi-
gational alterations to a given chart, it will be republished in the category “new edition”. As well as
these new alterations, the new edition will incorporate corrections previously published in the Notices
to Mariners (Efs).

When a chart is published as a “new edition”, the existing edition of the chart will be made obsolete.
Notifications of corrections to the chart in the Notices to Mariners (Efs) will, from publication date on-
ward, relate only to the new edition.

Re-prints
When an existing chart is reprinted without the inclusion of critical navigational alterations, it is clas-
sified as a “re-print”. A re-print will be updated with all corrections and modifications previously
published in the Notices to Mariners (Efs). The chart may also incorporate corrections of non-critical
navigational significance not previously published in the Notices to Mariners (Efs).

The previous edition of the chart will remain valid, provided that it is updated with corrections pub-
lished in the Notices to Mariners (Efs).

Chart graticules
In the past, Norwegian nautical charts have employed a variety of graticules. Prior to 1957 the Nor-
wegian graticule NGO1948 was employed for most purposes, while charts published in the period
1957–1992 used a graticule based on the European Datum (ED50). Charts produced since 1992 have
employed a graticule based on the World Geodetic System (WGS84). The old reference systems are of
variable quality, and system irregularities have caused problems for some users These problems have
increased in step with improvements in the quality of the positioning systems employed. Modern
satellite systems offer positioning accuracies somewhat in excess of the quality of the old reference
systems. For this reason, the Norwegian Hydrographic Service decided in 1993 to introduce a new
satellite-based reference system and WGS84 replaced ED50 as the official horizontal reference system
in Norwegian waters. This is a globally-utilised international geodetic reference system which is free
of the major problems arising from the irregularities we are familiar with in the older systems. Posi-
tions obtained from GPS-based systems can be plotted directly onto charts which employ a WGS84
graticule.

All Norwegian charts are published with graticule based on WGS84 datum.

 The Norwegian Pilot Guide
The volumes making up the publication “Den norske los” (The Norwegian Pilot Guide), provide a de-
scription of Norwegian coastal waters from the Swedish border in the south to the Russian border at
Grense Jakobselv in the north, and also incorporate Svalbard and Jan Mayen. They contain sailing
guidelines for the various shipping lanes, as well as information about harbours, ports of call and an-
chorages. Vessels subject to statutory registration are legally required to have all volumes of the Pilot
Guide on board. However, smaller vessels and recreational craft will also obtain great benefit from
the books as an aid to planning and to provide assistance during voyages. The volumes also include
aerial photographs, diagrams and coastal panoramas. Other information includes: Information about
quays and mooring sites, bunkers, shipyards and local businesses.

The Pilot Guide is printed in the following seven volumes:

Volume 1 Alminnelige opplysninger (General information, 2010) (ISBN 978-82-90-65326-7)
Volume 2A Svenskegrensen (Swedish border) – Langesund (2007) (ISBN 978-82-90-65322-0)
Volume 2B Langesund – Jærens rev (2005) (ISBN 978-82-90-65320-4)
Volume 3 Jærens rev – Stad (2012) (ISBN 978-82-90-65332-8)
Volume 4 Stad – Rørvik (2008) (ISBN 978-82-90-65323-9)
Volume 5 Rørvik – Lødingen and Andenes (2001) (ISBN 978-82-90-65317-4)

Symbols and abbreviations on Norwegian nautical charts

This publication provides an overview of symbols and abbreviations used on Norwegian nautical
charts and in publications. The Norwegian Mapping Authority has decided that all Norwegian nauti-
cal charts will be published as far as possible according to the cartographic standards adopted by the
International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO). Since it will take many years to revise all Norwegian
nautical charts, both new and older symbols and abbreviations are referred to in this publication.

Notices to Mariners (Efs)
“The Notices to Mariners” (Efs) publication is issued twice a month and contains information which
makes it possible for mariners to keep their charts updated. It contains information such as the estab-
lishment of new lights and changes to existing lights, fixed and floating navigational aids, recently-
identified shoals, new or modified subsea cables and pipelines, overhead structures, shipwrecks or
other obstructions which may constitute a hindrance to vessels. Notifications are also provided con-
cerning gunnery exercises, directives and regulations pertaining to sailing in certain areas, changes to
pilot stations and such like. All mariners should be aware

A tracing is intended to provide an aid to the Notices to

Mariners (Efs), and must not be used without its corre-
sponding notice. The notice to which a tracing relates to is given in the lower right-hand corner on the
tracing, together with a reference to the chart to which the tracing applies.

Tide tables
The tide tables, published once a year, list the predicted times and heights of all high and low water
levels in 17 standard, and about 200 secondary harbours. The Hydrographic Survey’s publication rep-
resents the official tide tables and is the only source of both times and heights. From 1 January 2000,
the LAT (Lowest Astronomical Tide) was introduced as a new reference level (chart datum) for nautical
charts. All heights listed in the tide tables are given with reference to LAT. The publication also con-
tains a table listing the height differences between the chart datum and the official Norwegian height
system (Normalnull 1954). There is also a short explanation of the tidal phenomenon and information
about tides along the Norwegian coast and Svalbard. Tide tables for Dover in England are also includ-
ed in the table.

Can be downloaded for free at www.sehavnivå.no og www.kartverket.no.

QR-code
The Hydrographic Service has introduced QR (Quick Response ) codes on its charts in order to make
the updating process easier. It is now possible to easily check updates on a given chart and find out
when the last version was published.

 Print on demand (POD)
POD charts refer to updated charts printed on request. The aim here is to meet user demand for up-
dated nautical charts.

The Hydrographic Service currently prints its charts at intervals of about two years. Some charts have
shorter and others longer intervals between printings. On purchasing a new chart, our customers are
thus often faced with the major task of updating these with the most recent Notices (Efs).

Through the Print on Demand service, charts updated with the most recent Notices to Mariners (Efs),
published every 14 days, are available to users. This save the user the time-consuming task of updat-
ing the printed chart.

The service is offered to users via authorised Print on Demand (POD) suppliers. View the list of sup-
pliers in the article “Distributors of Print on Demand” at http://www.kartverket.no/en/Bestille/Order-
maps-and-nautical-charts/

Provided it is updated with the aid of the “Notices to Mariners” (Efs), a chart supplied using this ser-
vice will be equivalent to the printed chart in relation to the requirements of the International Mari-
time Organization (IMO)/SOLAS.

All Norwegian Charts are available as POD-Charts only.

The Main Chart Series

The Main Chart Series provides charts for the Norwegian coast from the Swedish border in the south
to the Russian border at Grense Jakobselv in the north. The scale is normally 1:50 000. The Main Chart
Series is first and foremost intended to provide navigational charts for inner coastal waters. They often
come with special editions printed at larger scales in areas where navigation is especially challenging.
For information about the Main Chart Series for Svalbard, Jan Mayen and Bouvetøya, see page 19.

 The Harbour Chart Series
This series includes charts produced at larger scales covering harbours and harbour approaches
along the Norwegian coast.

The aim of the Harbour Chart Series is to provide the user with a detailed overview of water depths
and the location of mooring sites within the harbours. The more recent harbour charts are constructed
using Gaussian cylinder projections, while older versions may have other projections.

Harbour charts marked with an asterisk (*) come with special editions at larger scales covering the
central parts of the harbours in question.

 The Coastal Chart Series
The Coastal Chart Series covers the Norwegian coast from the Swedish border in the south to the Rus-
sian border at Grense Jakobselv in the north. The Coastal Chart Series for Svalbard can be found on
page 20. The scales used for this series vary from 1:200 000 to 1:360 000. Charts in the Coastal Chart
Series are used for navigation in coastal waters not covered by the Main Chart Series, for open water
sailing along the coast, and on the fishing banks. The charts in this series are normally produced us-
ing a Mercator projection.

 The General Chart Series
This series includes charts of the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea, the Greenland Sea,
the North Atlantic Ocean and areas in the Antarctic waters. All charts in this series are produced us-
ing a Mercator projection. The scales vary from 1:700 000 to 1:10 000 000. Most general charts are
incorporated in an international series of charts produced under the auspices of the International Hy-
drographic Organization (IHO). They are marked “INT”, and are appended with an international chart
number. The construction parallel for these charts will often deviate from the chart’s median latitude.

Charts for courses and schools
Instruction in the use of charts is a vital and essential part of studies for the Norwegian Boating Li-
cence (Båtførerprøven). High levels of demand from educational establishments, teachers and stu-
dents demonstrate that there is a need for charts for use on courses and in schools.

In order to meet customers’ needs, the Hydrographic Service is offering selected charts as training
charts. The charts have been selected with a view to training in the use of modern charts, and thus
incorporate narrow sounds, open waters, a variety of navigational markers and symbols, light sectors
and such like. The chart scale is normally 1:50 000. For the Stavanger-chart, the scale is 1:25 000.

Charts for use on courses and in schools are not updated, and for this reason must not be used for
navigation.

The charts can be downloaded for free at http://kartverket.no/Kart/Sjokart/nyheter-sjokart/Gratis_

skolekart/
