Update to Admiralty Notices to Mariners No. 9 of 2020 dated 27th February 2020

 HYDROGRAPHIC NOTE - Instructions

1. Mariners are requested to notify the Chief Hydrographer, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, when
new or suspected dangers to navigation are discovered, changes are observed in aids to navigation or where
corrections to nautical publications may be necessary. Reports, which cannot be confirmed or are lacking in certain
details should not be withheld.

2. Any ambiguities of time, positioning and depth should be stressed and any firm expectation of being able to
check the information provided on a following voyage should be mentioned.

3. Mariners using satellite position fixing systems, eg. GPS, should provide details of equipment and datum
used (where applicable). Where bearings (true or magnetic) are taken visually or by radar to fix a position, it should
include more than two objects in order to provide a check on its accuracy. A position may also be defined by bearing
and distance from a conspicuous object eg. beacon, lighthouse etc.

4. The note should include a tracing or a digital image of the chart used and the details should be clearly
marked.

5. Echo sounders frequently register greater depths than the advertised maximum depth for the equipment,
eg. a trace appearing at 50 metres may be in fact be 550 metres or even 1050 metres for equipment whose
maximum depth is 500 metres. Erroneous depths caused by 2nd transmission error can usually be recognised by
the following:
(a) the tracing being weaker than normal for the depth registered,
(b) the trace appearing to pass through the transmission line,
(c) the feathery nature of the trace.

6. Upon receipt of a hydrographic note, a Notice to Mariners may be issued. The sender's vessel or name
is quoted as the source unless the same information is also received in foreign Notices to Mariners.

7. Reports of shoals, uncharted dangers and defects in aids to navigation may also be made to the
appropriate Singapore Port Operations Control Centre on VHF Channels 10, 12, 14, 68 or 73.
