Providing advance notification for critical chart and Coast Pilot corrections, the Critical Corrections Web site offers information on hazards to navigation, channel conditions, and a wealth of additional material considered essential to safe navigation. To expedite the availability and application of chart and Coast Pilot changes, the Electronic Update Service for Digital Charts sends a weekly e-mail, with a hot-link attachment, providing the mariner with integrated updates for all of the charts on his CD-rom. Upon completion of the download, the mariner’s computer reads the information, applies the applicable patches and stores the updated charts on his hard drive for immediate use. In an age when our Marine Transportation System is being pushed to its limits, the Office of Coast Survey strives to provide the highest-caliber information and services to safely navigate America into the future.
