Nautical Chart Reprints

From Today's Notice to Mariners

Mariners will have the latest information under a new initiative in navigation chart reprinting. Beginning immediately, NOAA will provide revised
reprints to distribute up-to-date critical information on nautical charts.
A revised reprint nautical chart incorporates all U.S. Coast Guard Local Notice to Mariners (LNM) and all National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
(NGA) Notice to Mariners (NM) issued since the current edition date. A revised reprint will be published when printed stock of the current edition
is low. In the past, when a chart was running out of stock, NOAA would print more copies of the same chart without applying updates. The
revised reprint will contain all critical corrections applied before the chart is printed. They are similar to the NOAA’s Print on Demand (POD)
charts, but are lithographically printed according to traditional paper chart standards.
Revised reprints offer the convenience and added measure of safety of a chart that is updated at time of purchase. The lower left corner of a
revised reprint nautical chart will contain the edition number of the chart with the edition date, the words “Revised reprint,” along with the dates
of the NGA Notice to Mariners and the U.S. Coast Guard's Local Notice to Mariners available at time of printing.
As with all nautical charts, revised reprints should be updated with all critical corrections issued after the “corrected through” dates.
A listing of upcoming new edition and revised reprint charts published by NOAA is available at nauticalcharts.noaa.gov.
