7 STANDARD TIMES e world is divided into twenty-four equal zones of fifteen degrees longitude in width, in each of which the same time (Zone Time) is kept. e meridian of Greenwich is taken as the centre of the system and of Zone 0. Zones to the east of Zone 0 are numbered -, -, etc., and those to the west +, +, etc. e twelfth zone is divided into two parts by the International Date Line; that to the west being - and that to the east +. e zone number indicates the number of hours by which Zone Time must be decreased or increased to obtain Universal Time (previously known as Greenwich Mean Time). INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE GENERAL e International Date Line is a modification of the line of the 0th meridian, which is drawn so as to include islands of any group, etc., on the same side of the line. e line is defined, in terms of latitude and longitude and of rhumb line courses, as follows:. om the North Pole due south along the 0th meridian to N.;. ence south-eastwards to N. and the longitude of the meridian passing between the Diomede Islands (approximately.w.);. ence due south through Bering Strait to 0 N.;. ence south-westwards to N., 0 E.;. ence south-eastwards to N. and the 0th meridian;. ence due south to S.;. ence south-eastwards to S., 0 W.;. ence due south to S., 0 W.;. ence south-westwards to S., and the 0th meridian;. ence due south to the South Pole. When crossing the International Date Line: (a) on an easterly course, assume yesterday s date; (b) on a westerly course, assume tomorrow s date. International Date Line information has been sourced from the Admiralty List of Radio Signals, Volume, NP 0/. GENERAL New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

19 PLANET VISIBILITY ASTRONOMICAL 0 0 e following diagrams show, in graphical form, when the five naked-eye planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and turn are visible in the night sky during the period July 0 June 0. Each diagram spans the hours of darkness, covering the period from :00 to 0:00 with midnight being represented by the central line across the diagram. For a given date, time runs from the bottom to the top of the diagram. Times are shown in terms of New Zealand Standard Time; one hour must be added when New Zealand Daylight Time is in force. Each diagram is plotted for llington, time differences at other locations in New Zealand will generally not exceed an hour. In addition to the planet information, the diagrams show the time of sunset and sunrise as well as the end and start of astronomical twilight which is the time when the n is below the horizon. e shaded area of each diagram indicates the range of dates/times that the planet is visible in the night sky. Appearance of the planets Unless they are near to the horizon, planets can be distinguished from the twinkling stars by their more steady appearance. Twinkling is caused by turbulence in the atmosphere which has a greater effect on the light coming from point sources (stars) than on the light from much closer planets which are not point sources. Another pointer to identifying planets is that they are usually one of the brightest of the objects in the night sky. Mercury is the most difficult to see of the bright planets; due to its close proximity to the n it is seldom seen in fully dark skies. Venus is readily identified by its brightness being exceeded by only the n and on. Venus is often referred to as either the Evening Star (when visible in the west after sunset) or the rning Star (in the east before sunrise). Mars is notable for its orange-red appearance and is popularly known as the Red Planet. Jupiter s white light always outshines all of the stars whilst pale yellow turn is usually the least conspicuous of the five naked-eye planets.

23 AN INTRODUCTION TO TIDES e periodic rise and fall of sea level, known as the tide, is caused by the gravitational interactions of the on and n on the oceans of the Earth. While gravity provides the driving force, the rotation of the Earth, the size and shape of the ocean basins and local coastal circumstances ultimately determine the magnitude and frequency of the tide at a particular place. e following is intended to give you a basic understanding of tidal theory and an appreciation of some of the main tidal phenomena with particular reference to New Zealand conditions. THE CAUSE AND NATURE OF TIDES TIDAL INFORMATION GRAVITATIONAL FORCES AND A TIDAL BULGE Newton s law of universal gravitation tells us that the strength of the gravitational force between two bodies is a function of their masses and the distance between them. is law also states that the direction of the gravitational attraction force is along the line joining the two bodies. e Earth and on are held together by gravitational attraction, which is balanced at the common centre of gravity by an equal and opposite centrifugal force. Away from the centre of gravity the strength of the gravitational force changes as the distance to the on varies. e centrifugal force, however, remains constant everywhere on Earth. erefore, except at the centre of gravity, the gravitational and centrifugal forces are not the same and this inequality creates a residual force. ese three forces are depicted in the following diagram. If the Earth were completely covered by a very deep ocean this residual force would act on the water and produce two bulges, one on the side facing the on and one on the opposite side of the Earth. e diagram below shows the Earth and on as viewed from above the North Pole. An observer under the water on the Earth at position is beneath one of the water bulges and would be experiencing a high tide. A quarter of a revolution later, at position where the original water level has been depressed, a low tide would be seen. e high tide, low tide sequence repeats as the observer moves around through points and. e Earth-n system is also subject to similar gravitational and centrifugal forces but due to the n s greater distance they have less than half the strength of the lunar-related forces. As a consequence, the solar-related residual forces and resulting bulges are correspondingly smaller. TIDAL INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

24 e planet Venus exerts the greatest gravitational pull on the Earth of all the planets but, at just 0.00% of the effect of the on, makes no real impression. Despite being the largest planet, Jupiter s greater distance means that its influence is ten times smaller than Venus. So, the on and n are the only celestial bodies that have any significant gravitational impact on the Earth. MORE TIDAL BULGES e orbital motions of the on and Earth cause the directions to the on and n to change over the course of a month and a year respectively. e tilt of the Earth s axis also causes the directions of the on and n above and below the Earth s equatorial plane to vary over half of their associated orbital periods. Furthermore, because their orbits are elliptical, the distances to the on and n also vary throughout their respective month and year long cycles. e gravitational effect of each of these astronomical cycles can be defined and it is useful to imagine every gravitational variation creating its own unique tidal bulge. e period of each bulge is identical to that of the gravitational force that created it. ese periods therefore, by definition, do not vary and are the same everywhere on Earth. e size, or amplitude, of these bulges is small - the largest having a height of just a few tenths of a metre. ese tidal bulges are known as constituent tides. TIDAL BULGES ON THE MOVE Since gravitational force acts in a direct line, it follows that as the on and n move relative to Earth, so each of the direction-related tidal bulges must turn to maintain alignment with the appropriate body. While the Earth rotates on its axis the on moves in the same direction around its orbit, turning the lunar tidal bulge as it goes. e diagram below shows the Earth/on system as viewed from above the North Pole. Initially an observer at position A sees the tidal bulge pointed in the direction of the on. Twenty-four hours later the observer returns to point A, but during the intervening day the on has moved along its orbit and rotated the tidal bulge so the observer must wait until reaching point B before catching up with the lunar bulge again. TIDAL INFORMATION e elapsed time to catch up to the tidal bulge that is directed towards the on is, on average, hr 0min. e time between passes under each tidal bulge (successive high waters) is, therefore, approximately hr min. e actual interval can vary by up to 0 minutes. e tidal bulge caused by and pointing in the direction of the n is encountered by the rotating Earth after each complete revolution about its axis. erefore, the interval between successive high waters caused by the solar tide-generating force is hours. ese lunar and solar tide cycles each last half a day and are known as semi-diurnal tides. Since the lunar semi-diurnal tide is dominant over the solar tide, the time of the tide generally advances by nearly one hour each day in accordance with the motion of the on. e bulges revolve around the Earth once every. days in the case of the lunar tidal bulge and. days for the n s tidal bulge. Because the Earth is titled on its axis by approximately, the on s orbital plane is inclined to the Equator by the same angle. During each orbit the declination of the on changes from on one side of the plane of the Earth s equator to the other over a period of. days. e lunar tidal bulge follows this motion so we have the situation shown in the following diagram (please note, for convenience the Earth s axis is shown in the upright position). TIDAL INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

25 e observer at point A is under a tidal bulge and sees a high tide with height H. Twelve hours later the observer is at point B and, once again, sees another high tide, this one has height H. Now H is greater than H because the declination of the on has rotated the tidal bulge. is difference between the heights of successive high tides is known as the diurnal inequality. As the on approaches the plane of the Equator, H and H become equal and the diurnal inequality disappears. Declination TIDAL INFORMATION e tidal bulge due to the n is similarly affected by the Earth s tilt except that the solar cycle lasts months. e on s declination also has a secondary oscillation that is a little more than. is additional motion changes very slowly and takes. years before being repeated. have now considered the motion of a number of direction-dependent tidal bulges. TIDAL BULGES CHANGING SIZE As the orbits of the on about the Earth and the Earth around the n are not circular, the distance to each of these bodies varies. Since the strength of gravitational attraction is determined, in part, by the distance between the objects, as the distances change so too does the strength of the tide-raising forces. e lunar distance changes during a period of. days, which is very close to, but not exactly the same as, the on s orbital period. As a further complication, the point of the lunar orbit that is closest to the Earth does not stay in the same place. Instead, it moves slowly around the on s orbit, a journey that takes. years. e distance related solar tide-generating force changes over a period of. days. As is the case with the on and the Earth, the point where the Earth is closest to the n also moves around the Earth s orbit, but this is very slow as it takes 0,0 years to complete the circuit. COMBINING TIDAL BULGES Let us now consider what happens when two tidal bulges interact with one another. Since the period of each bulge is different, the rate of change that takes place as they interact will depend on the difference between their periods. When the peaks of both bulges are aligned the height of the resulting bulge will equal the sum of the heights of the individual bulges. When the peak of one bulge is aligned with the trough of the other, then the heights will tend to cancel one another. Bulges with similar amplitudes will have a far greater effect on one another compared to the effect that a small bulge will have on a larger one. e two bulges will create a new tidal bulge whose size (amplitude) and period are predetermined by the original bulges. e diagram on the right illustrates how two simple curves merge together to form a new more complex curve. e height of curve at point A combines with the height of curve at point B to produce a greater height at point C on the combined curve. e height of curve at point X is reduced by the negative height of curve at point Y to produce a small negative height on the combined curve at Z.

26 Spring/Neap cycle: is is the most widely known phenomenon resulting from the combination of two tidal bulges. Twice each month the Earth, on and n more or less line up and we have what are known as the new and full phases of the on. At these times the tide generating forces of the on and n are aligned. As a result, the major lunar and solar tidal bulges combine together to create spring tide conditions when the difference between the heights of high and low water is greater than average. e on continues on its way around its orbit and a week later it is at a right angle to the direction of the n and the tidal bulges have a cancelling effect on each other. At these times (around first and last quarter on) the high water is not so high and the low water is not so low these are known as neap tides. e tide, as it is observed, is the end result of the combination of many tidal bulges (constituent tides) each of which is linked to a particular set of Earth-on-n circumstances. FICTION VERSUS FACT e foregoing explanation describes what is known as the equilibrium tidal theory that is based on a fictitious watercovered Earth where the tidal bulges remain pointed directly towards and away from the on and n. is simplified theory ignores the effects that the continents, varying water depth, rotation and inertia have on the propagation of the tidal bulges. Many of the tidal phenomena observed around the world are not explained by the equilibrium theory. For example, the semi-diurnal tide is not universal some locations experience just one tide a day (a diurnal tidal regime), others have a mixed regime where times of semi-diurnal tides alternate with periods of diurnal tides. Examples of diurnal tides (emantle) and mixed tides (n Diego) are shown below together with Auckland s semi-diurnal regime for comparison. Sea Level (m) March FREMANTLE (00) TIDAL INFORMATION Sea Level (m) March SAN DIEGO (00) Sea Level (m) March AUCKLAND (00) Tide ranges many times greater than predicted by the equilibrium theory are not exceptional. In some places the range can exceed metres (for example Broome and Derby, stern Australia and the Bay of Fundy, Canada) while elsewhere such as the Mediterranean, Baltic and Caribbean Seas the tide is almost non-existent. e spring/neap cycle is a dominant feature of the tides in some regions; in others this twice-monthly rhythm is either not so apparent or reduced to a single cycle per month. Despite these shortcomings, the equilibrium theory does provide some understanding of the nature of the connection between the tides and the on and n and it forms the basis of the concepts underlying the constituent tides.

27 THE EFFECT OF THE REAL WORLD ON THE TIDAL BULGES e arrangement of the continents has created the world s three major water basins: the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. On the scale of these oceans, the passages of connecting water are relatively small and so, broadly speaking, the movement of the tide is constrained within individual ocean basins. e tidal bulge, as developed by the equilibrium theory, must now be considered as a very long wave trapped within each basin. Each body of water has a natural period of oscillation which will influence its response to the tide raising forces. In general, the oscillation period for the Pacific Ocean is hours and so many of the tides in the Pacific are diurnal. In the Atlantic Ocean the natural oscillation period is about ½ hours so the tides in the Atlantic are predominantly semi-diurnal. ere are, of course, many places where the tidal regime is governed by the local configuration of the land and water depth rather than large scale oceanic forces. If you take a container of water and move it from side to side, the water level at each end will rise and fall; while across the centre of the container the water level will not change. is over-simplified model describes the nature of the tides in enclosed waters such as the Persian Gulf, Red and Mediterranean Seas. Now move the container about in a circular fashion. e water level will rise and fall around the edge of the container and the location where the water level does not change is reduced to a point in the centre of the container. is pattern of wave behaviour is similar to what happens within the ocean basins as the Earth rotates. In the northern hemisphere the long tide wave travels in an anti-clockwise direction, whilst the wave in the southern hemisphere goes clockwise. e centre of these Coriolis rotations is known as an amphidrome; a point where there is no tide. TIDAL INFORMATION e speed at which a wave travels is controlled by water depth. ose parts of the wave passing over continental shelf regions and shallower coastal areas will slow down and this, in turn, means that the wave front no longer remains straight. e slowing of the wave also causes the wave height to increase. According to the equilibrium tide theory, the height of the tide wave is less than half a metre; slowing the wave in shallow water produces observed tide heights that are many times this value. TIDES AROUND NEW ZEALAND All around the New Zealand coastline the tidal regime is semi-diurnal. is means that on most days two high and two low tides will occur at any given location. However, if the first tide for the day occurs after about : am there will be just three tides on that day the fourth one in the sequence will take place very early the following day. Maximum tidal ranges exceeding. metres occur at Onehunga, Port Taranaki, Nelson, stport and Auckland. e smallest tidal ranges ( metres or less) are experienced at Gisborne, Napier, llington and Picton. e classic fortnightly spring/neap cycle is not seen at Napier, llington and Lyttelton. At these sites the solar tides are dominated by the lunar ones and the result is known as a perigean tide. e following diagrams of predicted tide curves at Port Taranaki and Napier illustrate these range and frequency variations. Note that both the tide curves cover identical periods and are plotted at the same vertical scale..0 PORT TARANAKI (00) Sea Level (m) March Sea Level (m) NAPIER (00) March e diurnal inequality, where successive high or low water heights are not the same, is also apparent in the diagrams. is phenomenon is particularly evident in the Port Taranaki example for high waters during the periods March and 0. e tidal bulge travels around New Zealand s coastline in an anti-clockwise direction. is is contrary to what is expected from the Coriolis Effect in the southern hemisphere. Regions surrounded by amphidrome points experience a counter-rotating circulation; New Zealand is situated in such a location which explains why the tidal bulge travels around the country in an anti-clockwise direction. TIDAL INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

28 is tidal bulge takes approximately hours to travel around the North and South Islands. erefore, at any one given time there is always a high tide (and a low tide) occurring somewhere around the coast. is pattern of flow is the reason why the state of the tides in Auckland s Waitemata and Manukau Harbours are never the same despite their close proximity. e tide has to travel from Auckland around Northland to reach the Manukau Harbour a journey that takes about ½ hours on average. Since the on is the principle force driving New Zealand s semi-diurnal tides, a complete tide cycle lasts on average hr min. Each incoming (flood) and outgoing (ebb) tide could, therefore, be expected to last about hr min. is is indeed the case at most of the standard ports with Dunedin and Picton being notable exceptions. At Dunedin the flood interval is consistently 0 minutes shorter, and the ebb tide correspondingly longer, than the nominal interval. At Picton the variation is more pronounced. e duration of the incoming tide has a range of ½ ½ hours and ebb tides have a range of ½ - ½ hours. e longest durations are observed during the neap tides that occur days after first quarter on in February, March, August and September. is appears to be due to the effect that the sizes of the semi- and quarter-diurnal tidal constituents have on the relatively small neap tide range at Picton. Cook Strait: Between the North and South Islands the tide travelling northward along the east coast passes the southbound tide to the west. e strong difference between the states of these tides, combined with the east/west tide height difference, produces the complex pattern of strong currents that flow through Cook Strait. ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION e actual tide observed at a particular location is the resultant of the combination of all of the gravitationally induced constituent tides that are present there. om studies of celestial motion we know that each tidal cycle follows a simple recurring (harmonic) pattern with a fixed period. e parameters that vary from place to place are the amplitude and time lag (phase) of each constituent. Harmonic tidal analysis involves taking a series of sea level measurements made at regular intervals, usually hourly, and resolving the amplitude and phase values for each constituent tide that comprises the observed tide at that place. e period covered by the sea level measurements has a bearing on the information that the analysis can provide. Since the on has the greatest effect on the tides, data from at least one month is required to account for the major lunar orbit-related effects. Longer sequences of observations enable the analysis to distinguish between constituent tides with similar periods as well as to determine very long period constituents and generally improve the quality of the results. e analysis of sea level data for a single month will produce parameters for about constituent tides the analysis of a years data will typically yield amplitudes and phases for constituent tides. However, the amplitudes of many of these constituents are usually small (a few millimetres, or less) and as these values are affected by the amount of scatter (noise) in the sea level measurements the reliability of such results is questionable. Meaningful values can usually be obtained for the most significant 0 0 constituent tides for the locality. Wherever possible predictions are based on the analysis of sea level measurements taken over a period of at least one year. is allows the average changes in mean sea level due to seasonal variations in meteorological conditions to be calculated and included in the predictions. ese changes do not, however, repeat themselves exactly from year to year so it is advisable to observe and analyse sea level measurements over a number of years. Once the amplitude and phase values for a set of constituent tides have been calculated they can then be used to create the tide curve for a specified time interval. is information can then be used to find the times and heights of maxima (high water) and minima (low water). Predictions can be made for future and past dates, however their accuracy decreases as the time difference between the measurements used in the analysis and the prediction period increases. As predictions are given for average meteorological conditions, it follows that when conditions are not average the actual tide times and/or heights may differ from those predicted. e effects of varying meteorological conditions are discussed in the following section. TIDAL INFORMATION METEOROLOGICAL EFFECTS ON TIDES Unusually high or low barometric pressure, or prolonged periods of strong winds can result in variations between actual sea level and the predicted heights. Differences between predicted and actual times of high and low water are caused mainly by the wind. Barometric Pressure: Tide predictions are computed for a standard barometric pressure of hectopascals (hpa) or millibars. A difference of hpa from the average can cause a difference in height of cm. A low barometer will allow the sea level to rise and a high barometer will tend to depress it. is phenomenon is often described as the inverted barometer effect. e water level does not, however, adjust itself immediately to a change of pressure; it responds to the average change over a considerable area. Changes in sea level due to barometric pressure alone seldom exceed 0 centimetres but, as such circumstances are usually associated with adverse weather conditions, the actual change in sea level is often much greater. Wind: e effect of the wind on sea level, and therefore on tidal heights and times, is variable and depends largely on the topography of the area. In general it can be said that the wind will raise the level of the sea in the direction towards which it is blowing. is effect is often called wind setup. A strong wind blowing onshore will pile up the water and cause the sea level to be higher than predicted, while winds blowing off the land will have the reverse effect. TIDAL INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

29 Storm surges: e combination of wind setup and the inverted barometer effect associated with storms can create a pronounced increase in sea level. is is often called a storm surge. A long surface wave travelling with the storm depression can further exaggerate this sea level increase. A negative storm surge is the opposite effect, generally associated with high pressure systems and offshore winds, and can create unusually shallow water. is effect is of great importance to very large vessels which may be navigating with small under-keel clearances. TIDAL INFORMATION TIDAL STREAMS A tidal stream is the periodic movement of water in a horizontal direction that is due ultimately to the same astronomical causes as the tide (whereas the tide is a movement in the vertical direction). e tidal stream associated with a rising tide is called the flood stream; that associated with a falling tide is called the ebb stream. A tidal stream is often described by the direction to which it runs. ere is usually a period when the flow ceases, known as slack water, before the stream changes direction. Interestingly, slack water does not necessarily occur at times of high or low water. Tidal streams can be analysed and predicted in much the same way as tides. It is generally simpler however, to compare the stream with the tide at a nearby standard port, and determine the time difference between high or low water at the port and the beginning of the ebb or flood stream in a particular area. is is the method used to compute the tidal stream predictions for Tory Channel / Kura te Au Entrance and Te Aumiti / ench Pass that are published in this Almanac. Cook Strait: e tidal streams in and around Cook Strait are unreliable and mariners are warned to exercise every precaution when navigating in the vicinity. e streams often run in one direction for eight to hours, but cases have been reported of them going for hours or more. When the streams have been running in one direction for an extended period, it has been found that the opposite stream is much weaker or, on some occasions, hardly noticeable. e maximum rates shown on the chart which are normally attained during spring tide conditions are also liable to be encountered at any other time. In the vicinity of Karori Rock and Cape Terawhiti rates of up to knots are frequently experienced, but as a rule do not last for more than about an hour. Small vessels are warned to keep well clear of tide rips as they may lose steerage way and may, in extreme cases, capsize. Te Aumiti / ench Pass: Mariners are cautioned against taking a vessel through the Pass against the stream, as not only does a vessel sometimes not answer the helm owing to the stream eddies acting on the bow, but there is danger of meeting a vessel coming from the opposite direction which is not visible in sufficient time to prevent collision. Powered vessels of moderate size can, with prudence, pass through at slack water or with the tidal stream and in doing so save miles of distance and avoid the heavy cross sea that is frequently met northward of Rangitoto ki te Tonga / D Urville Island and Stephens Island (Takapourewa). Local knowledge is highly desirable. e flood and ebb streams attain rates of to knots and do not set directly through the narrow channel but across it. e flood stream sets in a south-westerly direction as far as the narrows and then along the shore between Channel and Rock Cod Points. e ebb stream sets in the opposite direction. See the tidal arrows shown on the chart (NZ ). Slack water lasts about 0 minutes. e extraordinary irregularity of the sea bottom, together with the narrowness of the channel, creates many eddies in this area. Care must be taken to prevent a vessel being swung round on to Collinet Point by the eddies. Tory Channel / Kura te Au Entrance: Tidal streams can be very strong through the east entrance to Tory Channel / Kura te Au, reaching rates of knots as indicated on chart NZ. Tide rips form along the western approaches to the entrance and eddies form around Okukari Bay. Some cross channel shear is present but is generally weak relative to normal channel flows. Vessels approaching the entrance from Cook Strait against an east-going tidal stream will find that the stream at the entrance normally sets SSE onto the starboard bow. When abreast of st Head Light the stream sets onto the port bow. Care must be taken to account for the effect of the streams. Without local knowledge, low-powered vessels should not use the entrance at spring tides, whether entering or leaving Tory Channel / Kura te Au. MAKING SEA LEVEL MEASUREMENTS Until quite recently the use of float gauges was the most common method of measuring and recording sea levels. e float gauges were installed in stilling wells that dampened the wave action and, through a system of wires and pulleys, the vertical movement of the float was translated to a pen that traced out a line on a paper chart attached to a rotating drum. Towards the end of the 0th century the pen and paper chart recording system became superseded by digital encoders that allowed sea level readings to be stored electronically, or transmitted by telephone or satellite. Today there are a number of different types of technology to choose from to make sea level measurements. Some systems are mounted above the water and determine the distance down to the water surface by measuring the time taken for a pulse of sound or radar to travel down to the water and be reflected back to the source. Other systems are placed under the water and measure the water pressure which is converted to the height of the water column above the sensor. At a particular port the level of the water is expressed as a height above a local datum which is also the datum used for the depths of the sea on nautical charts. is datum is defined with reference to permanent benchmarks ashore and the zero of the tide gauge. e datum adopted usually approximates Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) which is the lowest level the tide can be predicted to occur under normal meteorological conditions.

30 DEFINITIONS STANDARD PORTS Standard ports are those for which tidal predictions are provided in the form of daily tables giving the times and heights of high and low waters. All times in these tables are in New Zealand Standard Time. Predicted heights are in metres and are based on the Chart Datum of the largest scale chart of the place. SECONDARY PORTS Secondary ports are those for which daily predictions are not provided. Data sufficient for calculating times and heights at these ports and places are given after the standard port predictions in this book. Secondary ports are grouped under standard ports with a similar tidal pattern. MEAN SEA LEVEL (MSL) e average level of the sea surface over a long period or the average level which would exist in the absence of tides. MEAN HIGH WATER SPRINGS (MHWS) AND MEAN LOW WATER SPRINGS (MLWS) e average of the levels of each pair of successive high waters, and of each pair of successive low waters, during that period of about hours in each semi -lunation (approximately every days), when the range of the tide is greatest (spring range). MEAN HIGH WATER NEAPS (MHWN) AND MEAN LOW WATER NEAPS (MLWN) e average of the levels of each pair of successive high waters, and of each pair of successive low waters, during that period of about hours in each semi-lunation (approximately every days), when the range of the tide is least (neap range). CHART DATUM (CD) A water level so low that the tide will but seldom fall below it. When meteorological conditions are such that sea level is lowered, the tide will fall below the predicted low water heights, and at a place where Chart Datum is at a comparatively high level, the actual depths at or near low water may be considerably less than charted. HIGHEST AND LOWEST ASTRONOMICAL TIDE (HAT AND LAT) e highest and lowest tidal levels which can be predicted to occur under average meteorological conditions over years. dern chart datums are set at the approximate level of Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) and Tide Tables list the predicted height of tide above Chart Datum. It should be noted that water level may fall below the level of LAT if abnormal meteorological conditions are experienced. DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATING TIDAL TERMS TIDAL INFORMATION Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) Mean High Water Springs (MHWS) NEAP RANGE SPRING RANGE Mean High Water Neaps (MHWN) Mean Sea Level (MSL) Mean Low Water Neaps (MLWN) CHARTED DEPTH Mean Low Water Springs (MLWS) Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) Chart Datum (CD) CAUTIONS. In certain circumstances a tide at low water may fall below the level of Chart Datum thus giving depths less than the charted depth.. e times predicted for high and low water can be affected by changes in the force and direction of the wind and by changes in the barometric pressure. It will generally be found that the heights are increased with onshore and decreased with off-shore winds. Sea level rises as the barometer falls, and vice versa, approximately cm for each millibar difference from the average pressure. TIDAL INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

31 HOW TO USE THE TIDE TABLES METHOD TO FIND TIMES OR HEIGHTS OF HIGH AND LOW WATERS STANDARD PORTS e times and heights of high and low water are tabulated for every day of the year. e zone time used for the predicted times is the Standard Time for the port and is indicated at the top of each page. e heights are shown in metres referred to the Chart Datum of the port concerned. SECONDARY PORTS e times of high and low water are obtained by applying the time differences tabulated in the Secondary Ports Table to the daily predictions for the designated standard port. A negative time difference will give an earlier time than that for the standard port and a positive one a later time. e heights of high and low water are obtained by multiplying the height predictions for the designated standard port by the range ratio value for the secondary port. Predictions for the standard ports include the seasonal variations. Since the same seasonal variations apply to the designated secondary ports, they are allowed for in the final result and there is no need to apply them separately when using the method described below. e techniques used to obtain the times and heights of high and low water at secondary ports are explained in detail in the following instruction and examples. e use of the calculation form on the following page is demonstrated by way of an example and a blank form is provided for further use.

33 METHOD TO FIND TIMES OR HEIGHTS BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW WATERS Times and heights between high and low waters of standard and secondary ports can be interpolated by fitting a cosine curve. is interpolation can be accomplished graphically with form reproduced on the following pages, the use of which is explained below. is form is a development of the method published in the Admiralty Tide Tables and is reproduced with the permission of the Australian Hydrographic Service, Royal Australian Navy. is method will give acceptable results provided that the duration of rise or fall is between and hours. Formulae for use with calculators or computers are also provided courtesy of the Australian Hydrographic Service. e same criterion should be satisfied to obtain acceptable results. TO FIND THE HEIGHT OF THE TIDE AT A GIVEN TIME TIDAL INFORMATION Using the form. Plot the time of high water on the time axis marked HW, and the time of low water on the time axis marked LW. Connect these two points by a straight line called the time-line. Note: Hours from 0000 to 000 are repeated on the right hand side of the scale for use when midnight (0000) falls between HW and LW.. Plot the height of high water on the height axis marked HW, and the height of low water on the axis marked LW. Connect these two points by a straight line called the height-line.. To find the height of the tide for a given intermediate time, plot the time on the LW time axis, project it up to the time-line, go across to the curve, go down to the height-line then across to the LW height axis, from which the height can be read off. Using the formula If t and h denote the time and height of the tide (high or low) immediately preceeding time t, and t and h denote the height of the tide (high or low) immediately following time t, then the height h at time t is given by the following formula: h = h + (h - h )[(cosa + )/] where Note : Note : A = π([(t - t )/(t - t )] + ) radians On falling tides (h - h ) will be negative. t, t and t are in decimal hours. Using the form. As above.. As above. TO FIND THE TIME FOR A GIVEN HEIGHT OF THE TIDE. To find the time at which a given intermediate height occurs, plot the height on the LW height axis, project it across to the height-line, go up to the curve, across to the time-line, and down to the LW time axis, from which the time can be read off. Using the formula With t, h, t, h defined as above, the intermediate time t when the tide is at a given height h, can be calculated from the following formula: t = t + (t - t )((A/π ) - ) where A = π - acos ([(h - h )/(h - h )] ) radians. Note : On falling tides (h - h ) and (h - h ) will be negative. Note : t, t and t are in decimal hours. Note : It is presumed that the range of the acos function is [0, π].

Users are reminded of the existence of irregular and frequent fluctuations in mean sea level in the Pacific Ocean. Since these are not of astronomical origin, vessels navigating with minimal under keel clearance should recognise that tidal heights alone should not be relied upon to provide for safe navigation in shoal waters. For more information refer to Annual New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No. on page. e zero of the predicted tide heights for each standard port is described on page and corresponds to Chart Datum. To find times or heights between high and low waters follow the instructions given on pages. e following table indicates the years for which tidal observations were obtained. e results of the analysis of that data have been used to generate the following predictions. e number of years of data analysed is also shown. Any difference between the Period of Observations and No. of Years analysed indicates data missing for one or more years.

Additional tidal stream information can be found on page. SECONDARY PORTS see pages Details required for predicting times of high and low waters, and tidal levels, at secondary ports. An alphabetical index of the secondary ports can be found on pages. e secondary ports are grouped under their reference standard port which can be identified in the alphabetical index. Instructions for finding the times and heights of high and low waters at secondary ports can be found on pages 0. To find times or heights between high and low waters follow the instructions given on pages. CAUTION e mean time differences for high and low waters given in the Secondary Ports Table are average values derived from the comparison of simultaneous tide predictions at the secondary port and its reference standard port. Because these time differences are constant, they do not always reflect the actual tide time differences as these are subject to naturally occuring daily variation. e range of predicted time differences is included in the table to provide the user with an indication of how much the actual time of the tide may differ from the predicted time derived using the mean time difference.

LIGHT LIST INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

135 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Lights on mobile oil, gas and drilling platforms are not listed. e date to which this publication has been amended will be found in the Preface. Updates to lights are promulgated in Section III of the fortnightly editions of New Zealand Notices to Mariners. INTERNATIONAL NUMBERS OF LIGHTS e numbers assigned to lights in the Admiralty List of Lights and Fog Signals publications, prefixed by the publication s Volume Letter, are the International Numbers, in accordance with the resolutions of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). For all New Zealand lights the Volume Letter is K. For example, the International Number for Cape Kidnappers is K. ese letter-number combinations should be quoted whenever lights are referred to. GENERAL INFORMATION e duration of light and darkness are those for which the apparatus was designed. In practice they are subject to some degree of fluctuation, due to slight variations in the working speed of the apparatus. e duration of a flash may also appear to be less than normal when seen from a great distance, and haze has the same apparent effect. e limits of sectors and of arcs of visibility, and the alignment of direction lights and leading lights are given as seen by an observer from seaward. All bearings refer to the true compass and are measured clockwise from 000 to. Racons and Ramarks are included in the light lists when they are situated at a light station. For details of Coast Radio Stations and Radar Stations, reference must be made to the relevant volumes of the Admiralty List of Radio Signals (NP). ather, ice, storm, danger, tide, tidal stream, traffic and port signals may be mentioned when they are shown at a light station but full details will be found in the Admiralty iling Directions, New Zealand Pilot (NP). LIGHT INFORMATION LAYOUT OF COLUMN HEADINGS IN THE LIGHT LISTS Column : Contains the International Number of each light for clarity the prefix K is omitted. Column : Location, name. Place is printed in CAPITALS. In some location entries dashes (-) are used to save space. A dash indicates that the place name (CAPITALS) or sub-location details from the entries above are repeated and are part of the full name of the light. e names of lights having a range of miles and over are printed in bold type. Names of lights owned by Maritime New Zealand are annotated (M). Column : Latitude and longitude are given to two decimal places of a minute where data accuracy permits. IMPORTANT NOTE: Positions given are approximate. ey are included only to help in the identification of features on charts. It is possible to find differences, especially in longitude, of several tenths of a minute between these positions and those on charts in use. Column : Characteristics. Column : Elevation in metres above mean high water spring level. Column : Nominal range in sea miles, in bold type if miles or more. Column : Description of structure and its height in metres. Column : Remarks, including phase, sectors and arcs of visibility. EXPLANATION LIGHTS Rhythmic lights: e character of a rhythmic light is quick flashing, flashing, isophase or occulting, solely according to the relative durations of light and darkness, and without any reference to the type of apparatus employed. At short distances, and in clear weather, flashing lights may show a faint continuous light. Rhythmic lights produced by rotating apparatus may be detected at ranges greater than the geographical range by the appearance of the loom of the light. Meteorological visibility is the greatest distance at which a black object of suitable dimensions can be seen and recognised against the horizon sky or, in the case of night observations, could be seen and recognised if the general illumination were raised to the normal daylight level. Luminous intensity: e luminous flux leaving a light source, in a given direction, usually expressed as candlepower in candelas. Lights with differing intensity may appear to change their character at different distances because a part of the character may not be visible. Lights exhibiting a very short flash may not be visible at the range calculated from the Luminous Range Diagram see Diagram. LIGHT LIST INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

136 Sectors: Some lights change colour in sectors, some change character, and a few change both colour and character. Others show different colours in succession. Aeromarine lights are marine-type lights in which a part of the beam is deflected to an angle of above the horizon for the use of aircraft. Aero lights are often of great intensity and elevation. eir intensity is usually greater than that of most navigational lights and they may be the first lights, or looms of lights, to be sighted when approaching the land. ose likely to be visible from seaward are inserted in the light lists; their character is always preceded by the word Aero. ese lights are not designed for marine navigation and they are subject to changes of which prompt notification to the mariner may not always be possible. e details of the lights may not be complete and this information should be treated with caution. Obstruction lights mark radio towers, chimneys and other obstructions to aircraft. Like aero lights, they are not maintained for marine navigation, and the same cautionary remarks apply. ey are usually red in colour, either fixed, flashing or occulting, but other colours and characters may be employed. Obstruction lights of high intensity and likely to be visible from seaward are listed with the character preceded by the word Aero and with the legend Obstruction in columns and respectively of the light lists. Lights on wind turbines are usually located at the top of the turbine house/structure. eir light characteristics are normally aero fixed red; however, occasionally they may exhibit navigation light characteristics. Dependent on the stopped position of the blades, rotation of the turbine blades, prevailing wind speed and direction, vessel approach direction, these lights may on occasion appear to occult, flash or be interrupted. Care should be taken when identifying such lights for navigational purposes. Daytime lights: Lights shown throughout hours without change of character are annotated Shown hours in column of the light lists and during daylight, their intensity may be increased. If, by day, there are any differences to their character, elevation, range or arc of visibility, such differences are shown as a subsidiary entry to the light preceded by the words By day in column of the light lists. Cautionary Notes: Where ice conditions are prevalent the windows of lights may be covered with frost or ice, which will greatly reduce the sighting range. Lights placed at a great elevation are more frequently obscured by cloud, etc., than those near sea level. e distance of an observer from a light cannot be estimated from its apparent brightness. e distance at which lights are sighted varies greatly with atmospheric conditions and this distance may be increased by abnormal atmospheric refraction. It will be reduced by fog, haze, dust, smoke or precipitation; a light of low intensity is easily obscured by any of these conditions and the sighting range of even a light of very high intensity is considerably reduced in such conditions. For this reason the intensity or nominal range of a light should always be considered when estimating the range at which it may be sighted, bearing in mind that varying atmospheric conditions may exist between the observer and the light see Luminous Range Diagram (Diagram ) and Geographical Range Table (Table ). e limits of sectors should not be relied upon; they are those for which the apparatus was designed and they should invariably be checked by compass bearing. e limits of an arc of visibility are rarely clear cut, especially at a short distance, and instead of disappearing suddenly the light usually fades after the limit of the sector has been crossed. At the boundary of sectors of different colour there is usually a small arc in which the light may be either obscured, indeterminate in colour, or white. A light apparatus may be encountered where sector boundaries are defined with far greater accuracy than can be achieved with older sector lights. In cold weather, and more particularly with rapid changes of weather, the lantern glass and screens are often covered with moisture, frost or snow; the sector of uncertainty is then considerably increased in width and coloured sectors may appear more or less white. e effect is greatest in green sectors and with weak lights. Under these conditions white sectors tend to extend into coloured and obscured sectors, and fixed or occulting lights into flashing ones. White lights may have a reddish hue under some atmospheric conditions. When a light is cut off by sloping land the bearing on which the light will disappear will vary with distance and the observer s height of eye. LIGHT INFORMATION NOMENCLATURE OF LIGHTS A light must, on a given bearing, maintain a consistent character. Lights exhibit a distinctive appearance by which they are recognised, e.g. Fixed, Flashing, etc. ose properties of their appearance by which they are distinguished are referred to as the Character or Characteristics of the light. e principal characteristics are generally the sequence of intervals of light and darkness exhibited and in some cases the sequence of colours of light exhibited. Lights which are exhibited without interruption or change of characteristics are called Fixed lights. Normally, all lights other than fixed lights exhibit a sequence of intervals of light and darkness, the whole sequence being repeated identically at regular intervals. ch lights are called Rhythmic lights, and the time taken to exhibit one complete sequence is called the Period of the light. Each element of the sequence (e.g. a flash, an eclipse) is called a Phase. LIGHT LIST INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

137 Rhythmic lights which exhibit different colours during each sequence are called Alternating lights. e period of an alternating light is the time taken to exhibit the complete sequence, including all changes of colour. e intensity of lights may be given in candelas in italics, in column of the light lists. Elevation is the vertical distance between the focal plane of the light and the level of Mean High Water Springs. For vertical lights, e.g. F R(vert), the elevation listed is for the uppermost light. Luminous range is the maximum distance at which a light can be seen at a given time, as determined by the intensity of the light and the meteorological visibility prevailing at that time; it takes no account of elevation, observer s height of eye or the curvature of the earth see Luminous Range Diagram (Diagram ). Nominal range is the luminous range when the meteorological visibility is nautical miles. Geographical range is the maximum distance at which light from a light can theoretically reach an observer, as limited only by the curvature of the earth, the refraction of the atmosphere and by the elevation of the light and the height of eye of the observer see Geographical Range Table (Table ) Loom: e diffused glow observed from a light below the horizon or hidden by an obstacle, due to atmospheric scattering. Main light: e major of two or more lights situated on the same support or neighbouring supports. bsidiary (auxiliary) light: A light placed on or near the support of a main light and having a special use in navigation. Sector light: A light presenting different appearances, either of colour or character, over various parts of the horizon. Where no sector limits or arcs of visibility are listed in column of the light lists, then the light is assumed to be visible all around. Leading lights: Two or more lights associated so as to form a leading line to be followed. Lights described as Lts in line are particular cases, and are intended to mark limits of areas, alignments of cables, alignments for anchoring, etc.; they do not mark a direction to be followed. Directional light: A light showing over a very narrow sector, forming a single leading light. is sector may be flanked by sectors of greatly reduced intensity, or by sectors of different colours or character. Directional lights are also used to mark the limits of areas, etc., in the same way as Lts in line. Vertical lights: Two or more lights disposed vertically (or horizontally, or in a geometric shape) to give a different character or appearance. If the individual lights serve different purposes, the less important are termed auxiliary lights. LIGHT INFORMATION Reserve and Emergency lights: A distinction is made between Reserve lights and Emergency lights: Reserve lights retain the character of the main light but have a reduced range and their installation is usually restricted to major stations. Emergency lights are being installed at certain light stations. e apparatus is of lesser intensity and is automatically activated by a failure of the main light. It is normally visible at miles. A second light sequence has been added and the term Emergency light or Reserve light had been used in column of the light lists to indicate those stations where they have been installed; where Reserve or Emergency light details are confirmed they are included with the sequence. Standby light: An alternative name use for Emergency light or Reserve light. Description of structures: Bands Where the colour divisions of a structure, or any part of it, are horizontal, the term bands is used. Stripes. Where the colour divisions of a structure, or any part of it, are vertical, the term stripes is used. Diagonal stripes. Where the marking of a structure is in the form of a spiral, the term diagonal stripes is used. Shape. e shape of topmarks and daymarks is often shown diagrammatically; e.g. White p on beacon or Red on mast. ch symbols never refer to the plan cross-section of a structure. Height is measured from the top of the structure to the ground. LIGHT LIST INFORMATION New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

138 LUMINOUS RANGE DIAGRAM is diagram gives the approximate range at which a light may be sighted in the prevailing meteorological visibility conditions. e straight line labelled Perfect Visibility gives the maximum possible luminous range. e diagram is entered from the top border with the charted nominal range of the light. At the point in the diagram where this intersects the appropriate visibility curve the approximate luminous range will be found from the left-hand scale. Example: K0 North Cape (Otou) has a charted nominal range of miles. For an estimated meteorological visibility of 0 miles, the approximate range at which light may be sighted is 0 miles. DIAGRAM CAUTIONS. e diagram gives luminous range i.e., the range at which a light may be sighted, irrespective of its elevation and of the observer s height of eye.. Ranges are approximate.. e transparency of the atmosphere is not necessarily consistent between the observer and the light.. Glare from background lighting will reduce considerably the range at which lights are sighted. INTENSITY e power of a light is normally measured in candelas (cd), the international unit of luminous intensity. However for the purposes of this list, the significant property is not how bright a light is, but how far away it can be seen. Hence the measured intensity values for New Zealand lights have been converted to the corresponding nominal range figures in nautical miles. e correlation between intensity and nominal range may be seen by comparing the scales along the bottom and top of the Luminous Range Diagram.

140 USE OF GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE TABLE CAUTION: e geographical range of a light, sometimes referred to as the dipping range, only be used for finding the distance off the light in clear weather when the luminous range is equal to or exceeds the geographical range. Definition of geographical range: e maximum distance at which light from a light can theoretically reach an observer, as limited only by the curvature of the earth, the refraction of the atmosphere and by the elevation of the light and the height of eye of the observer. e Geographical Range Table can be used to find the dipping or geographical range of a light as follows: Enter the table at the top with the observer s height of eye and at the left, in the elevation column, with the height of the light as taken from the chart or the light lists in this publication. e dipping range can then be taken from the body of the table, e.g.. Height of eye of observer metres, charted height of light 0 metres. Geographical range =. miles.. Height of eye metres, charted height of light metres. Geographical range =. miles. To find out whether a light is of sufficient power to be visible at its extreme range reference must be made to the Light List and to the Luminous Range Diagram. For example, to find whether the following lights will be visible at dipping range to an observer having a height of eye of metres. e estimated meteorological visibility is 0 miles. (a) K Cape Kidnappers. e Light List gives a nominal range of miles and elevation of light metres. e Geographical Range Table gives a range of. miles, the Luminous Range Diagram gives a range of miles. is light, therefore, will not be visible at its dipping range for this particular observer. (b) K Castle Point. e Light List gives a nominal range of miles and elevation of light metres. e Geographical Range Table gives a range of 0. miles and the Luminous Range Diagram gives a range of miles. is light will be visible at its dipping range for this particular observer. NOTE:. Dipping ranges can only be used in clear weather when the loom of the light is visible before or after the light dips on the horizon.. Some lights whose charted range is less than their geographical range may be observed to dip on the horizon in conditions of excellent visibility.. Conditions of abnormal refraction may cause the dipping ranges to increase and consequently ranges obtained by this method should be used with caution. NOMINAL RANGE e nominal range of the light is the maximum distance at which the light can just be seen by a normal observer at night, in conditions when the actual (or meteorological) visibility is miles. VISIBILITY Visibility is defined in terms of the distance (meteorological optical range) at which light transmitted is reduced to % or 0.0 of the light emitted. For all practical purposes this represents the same atmospheric conditions as for a daytime visibility defined in terms of the maximum distance at which large objects can be recognised. Meteorological visibility at miles corresponds with an atmospheric transmission factor (a.t.f.) of 0. per mile; 0. = 0.0. For comparison: with an a.t.f. of 0. per mile, visibility is miles; 0. =0.0. with an a.t.f. of 0. per mile, visibility is 0 miles; 0. 0 = 0.0. LIGHT INFORMATION e atmospheric transmission factor must always be associated with a length unit, and visibility will be in the same unit; e.g. in dense fog with an a.t.f. of 0. per metre, visibility would be metres. Note that perfect visibility is an a.t.f. of.00 for any length unit. VISIBLE RANGE When the visibility is other than miles (it is generally greater in New Zealand) the range at which a light can be expected to be seen can be obtained from the Luminous Range Diagram. It must be noted that neither the charted nominal range nor the Luminous Range Diagram take any account of curvature of the earth. e geographical range of a light must be obtained separately from the Geographical Range Table. e above instructions and Luminous Range Diagram are applicable to charted nominal ranges only.

144 FOG SIGNALS Sound is often conveyed in an unpredictable way through the atmosphere and the following points should be remembered: (a) Fog signals are heard at greatly varying distances. (b) Under certain atmospheric conditions, if a fog signal is a combination of high and low tones, one of the tones may be inaudible. (c) ere are occasionally areas around a station in which the fog signal is wholly inaudible. (d) Fog may exist a short distance from a station and not be observable from it, so that the signal may not be sounded. (e) Some fog signal emitters cannot be started immediately after signs of fog are observed. Mariners are therefore warned that fog signals should never be relied upon implicitly. Particular attention should be given to placing look-outs in positions in which the noises in the ship are least likely to interfere with the hearing of a fog signal; experience shows that, though such a signal may not be heard from the deck or bridge when the engines are moving, it may be heard when the ship is stopped, or from a quiet position. Fog signals are mainly produced by the following types of emitters: e Diaphone uses compressed air and generally emits a powerful, low-pitched sound, which often concludes with a brief sound of suddenly lowered pitch termed the grunt. Where it is known that the sound does not terminate in a grunt, the signal is annotated No grunt. e Horn uses compressed air or electricity to vibrate a diaphragm and exists in a variety of types which differ greatly in their sound and power; some types, particularly those at major fog signal stations, combine emitter units which simultaneously produce sounds of different pitch; these are often very powerful. Others produce a single steady tone, whilst others vary continuously in pitch. e Siren uses compressed air and exists in a variety of types which differ considerably in their sound and power. e Reed uses compressed air and emits a weak, high-pitched sound; it is particularly weak when hand-operated. e Explosive emitter produces short reports by the firing of explosive charges. e Bell, the Gong and the Whistle may be operated by machinery, sounding a regular character; by hand, sounding a somewhat irregular character; or by wave action, sounding erratically. rse code fog signals: In a similar manner to lights, the abbreviation is included in the abridged description of fog signals which consist of one or more characters of the rse code; e.g. Horn (AR), Horn () and composite fog signals are described, e.g. Siren(+). Fog signal emitters of all types vary greatly in power; reserve emitters are often especially weak. Some fog signal emitters sound characters composed of separate blasts of two or more different pitches; these are annotated, in column of the light lists, -tone, -tone, etc. Other emitters commence with an ascending pitch, or conclude with a descending pitch, and are annotated accordingly; others which produce a continuously-varying pitch are annotated warble tone.

Reliance on Charts and Associated Publications. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information on New Zealand charts and other publications, it should be appreciated that it may not always be complete and up to date. e mariner must be the final judge of the reliance to be placed on the information given, bearing in mind their particular circumstances, the need of safe and prudent navigation, local pilotage guidance and the judicious use of available navigational aids. e Use of Charts and Associated Publications. Charts should be used with prudence: there are areas where the source data are old, incomplete or of poor quality. Mariners should use the largest scale appropriate for their particular purpose; apart from being the most detailed, the larger scales are usually corrected first. When extensive new information (such as a new hydrographic survey) is received, some months may elapse before it can be fully incorporated in published charts. On small scale charts of ocean areas where hydrographic information is, in many cases, still sparse, charted shoals may be in error as regards position, least depth and extent. Undiscovered dangers may exist, particularly away from well-established routes. Further Guidance 0. e Admiralty publication, e Mariner s Handbook (NP0) gives a fuller explanation of the limitations of charts. All users should study it in their own interest.

While closer to the coast or in port, GSM (Global System for bile communications) telephones are in regular use.. e RNZN will utilise the GMDSS to alert merchant ships to an area of risk by issuing Navigational Warnings or may use any of the following to issue Special Notices to Merchant Ships: (a) Via Inmarsat-C over fetynet (EGC). is will be the primary means of communication. (b) Via Naval, Police or Customs Officers or harbour authorities for merchant ships in harbour if shut down on fetynet. (c) (d) Via ship owners /charterers own communication channels. Via radio and television.. When appropriate New Zealand registered ships will be instructed to comply with Admiralty Notices to Mariners, No. and subsequent amendments contained in Part VI of each weekly edition of Admiralty Notices to Mariners.. is does not relieve the master of the responsibility of maintaining a listening watch for safety information broadcast and official radio broadcasts..

203 A SAFETY OF BRITISH MERCHANT SHIPS IN PERIODS OF PEACE, TENSION OR CONFLICT e material in this notice has been reproduced from Admiralty Notices to Mariners, Annual Notice /. Reproduced with the permission of the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office. Source: UK Ministry of Defence (NAVY).. GENERAL. is notice describes the organisation by which the Royal Navy communicates with merchant vessels in periods of peace, tension and conflict. ch messages will normally relate to the safety and security of ships.. Participation in the procedures outlined in this Annual Notice is encouraged. Detailed reporting will be in accordance with Annex A.. UK MILITARY / CIVIL SHIPPING RELATIONS. rough the Shipping Defence Advisory Committee, the UK Ministry of Defence and its partners across Government (specifically the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Department for Transport (DfT)) maintains regular and frequent dialogue with the UK Shipping Industry, particularly the UK Chamber of Shipping but also with individual companies and other groups. Within Government, the National Maritime Information Centre (NMIC) provides a cross-government forum for sharing maritime security information.. e Royal Navy Maritime Trade Operations (MTO) organisation provides the operational liaison and interaction between military commanders and the merchant shipping community.. e Royal Navy s Maritime Trade Information Centre (MTIC), based in Portsmouth UK provides the hub for the worldwide provision of all information pertinent to merchant vessels operating in designated Operational Areas, in particular but not exclusively the Indian Ocean High Risk Area and the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Voluntary Reporting Area (VRA). ANNUAL NZ NTM. CURRENT OPERATIONS. In preserving maritime security, the Royal Navy maintains a Recognised Maritime Picture (RMP) of military and merchant vessels, and affords military commanders an understanding of all vessels passing through a particular area. is understanding allows military authorities to advise and assist merchant vessels when it is considered appropriate.. In response to the threat of terrorism, regional instability and also the threat from piracy, the Royal Navy has established a deployed MTO team in Dubai to provide direct face-to-face liaison with masters and operators. e MTIC administers the Merchant Vessel Voluntary Reporting Scheme, on behalf of UKMTO, for vessels transiting the Indian Ocean High Risk Area and provides advice on current military operations in the region. For counter piracy operations, the MTIC is the primary point of contact for shipping in the area. Further details on the Voluntary Reporting Scheme are provided in Best Management Practices (BMP).. In addition to UK national activity, British forces frequently operate under NATO and European Union Naval Force (EUNAVFOR) commands. During a NATO operation, the NATO Shipping Centre (NSC), based in Northwood, is normally the focal point for liaison with merchant shipping. In the Gulf of Aden, the Maritime Security Centre (Horn of Africa) (MSCHOA) administers the Group Transit Scheme through the Internationally Recognised Transit Corridor (IRTC) and the protection of World Food Programme vessels on behalf of EUNAVFOR. Contact details for both these organisations are provided at Annex B.. Best Management Practice (BMP), is published by Witherby Seamanship International (ISBN 0 0 ) and can be downloaded for free from their website. BMP can also be downloaded from the NSC and MSCHOA websites. It provides advice to masters and operators on methods to deter piracy and protect vessels against attack. Vessels are encouraged to implement the procedures recommended in BMP and also to participate in voluntary reporting schemes and other dialogues with military authorities in the area through the MTIC.. e World-Wide Navigation Warning Service (WWNWS) may be used to alert vessels to an area of risk through the promulgation of a Navigation Warning through appropriate NAVAREA Coordinators.. PASSAGE REPORTING. During periods of tension or conflict and to assist UK authorities to determine the whereabouts of merchant vessels within a specific area of operations, vessels may be asked to pass information voluntarily using the passage report format at Annex A. In return, vessels will receive advice on the security status within the area. Authority: United Kingdom Hydrographic Office 0 ANNUAL NZ NOTICES TO MARINERS New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

204 A SAFETY OF BRITISH MERCHANT SHIPS IN PERIODS OF PEACE, TENSION OR CONFLICT. e initiation of the passage report procedure will be by the promulgation of the following message, disseminated as a Navigation Warning: SPECIAL NOTICE TO MERCHANT VESSELS A risk to merchant vessels exists in [area]. Vessels within, or intending to enter this area should contact their owners or national shipping authorities. Merchant vessels are encouraged to submit a report in accordance with ADMIRALTY Annual Notice to Mariners Annex A to [contact details of military authority] when passing [lat/long] and subsequent daily position report requirements if any. Note: e text of the Special Notice to merchant vessels message issued by the UK will be amended to reflect the prevailing circumstances.. ADDITIONAL SERVICES. e MTIC provides the primary liaison between military authorities and merchant vessels. is dialogue is supported by the UKHO range of Maritime Security Charts (the Q series of charts) and Security Related Information to Mariners (SRIM) which provides further details of High Risk Areas, Exclusion Zones, Voluntary Reporting Schemes and other advice.. Further details, including the UKHO range of Maritime Security Charts is available to order or download at the following webpage: ANNUAL NZ NTM Authority: United Kingdom Hydrographic Office ANNUAL NZ NOTICES TO MARINERS New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0 0

207 SEARCH AND RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES New Zealand Search and Rescue Sector (NZSAR). e New Zealand Search and Rescue (NZSAR) sector provides assistance to ships and aircraft missing or in distress in the New Zealand Search and Rescue Region (NZSRR). e organisation is based on the utilisation of civilian and military facilities which are coordinated and controlled through the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ). Note: Towage or salvage operations are not the function of this organisation. Search and Rescue Coordinating Authorities. ere are only two Coordinating Authorities for Search and Rescue Operations (SAROPs) in the NZSRR; the New Zealand Police for Category I (CAT I) SAROPs and RCCNZ for Category II (CAT II) SAROPS. Both organisations cooperate closely to ensure the response to a search and rescue (SAR) incident is coordinated by the appropriate Coordinating Authority. Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ). RCCNZ is situated in the Avalon Studios, Percy Cameron Street, Lower Hutt and is responsible for initiating, coordinating, and concluding CAT II search and rescue operations within the NZSRR. e RCCNZ Search and Rescue Officer is responsible for coordinating representatives of civilian and military organisations considered necessary in order to cover the requirements for any SAR operation.

Notes. e nature of close-to-shore will vary according to the availability of local resources and the need to task national assets. Typically such operations will be within New Zealand Territorial Waters ( nautical miles).. Category I SAROPs typically require the use of local personnel and resources and can be carried out efficiently and effectively at the local level. ANNUAL NZ NTM CAT II Close To Shore Rescues A SAROP coordinated at the national level; including operations associated with missing aircraft or aircraft in distress and off-shore marine operations within the New Zealand Search and Rescue Region. Note. Category II SAROPs typically require the use of national or international resources and may involve coordination with other States.. e New Zealand Police and RCCNZ are assisted by local organised groups throughout New Zealand to provide voluntary, advisory, and operational assistance to the NZSAR.

209 SEARCH AND RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES Voluntary Ship Reporting System. e New Zealand Search and Rescue Authorities have established a voluntary ship reporting system for all vessels operating in the NZSRR Area south of 0 South for the purposes of assisting RCCNZ in coordinating SAR operations in that area. Area covered: 0 South to the southern edge of the Ross Sea bounded by East to st. All vessels are requested to notify Taupo Maritime Radio on entry and departure into the area and are also encouraged to make daily position reports. Information provided will be used for SAR purposes only. Obligation to Render Assistance. Masters of vessels in a distress area should endeavour to give the utmost assistance to persons in distress at sea, and cooperate fully in any SAR operation which is being directed from RCCNZ. Section of the Maritime Transport Act provides that the master or person in charge of a ship shall, so far as they can do so without serious danger to their own ship, her crew and passengers (if any), render assistance to every person who is found at sea in danger of being lost; an offence is committed by anyone who fails to comply with Section. Similar provisions are included in the International Maritime Organization s International Convention for the fety of Life at Sea,, (SOLAS). Merchant Ship Position Reports. New Zealand does not operate a merchant shipping reporting system. New Zealand-owned ships are invited to comply with the International Maritime Organization recommendations which request all ships to participate in other member government merchant shipping reporting systems wherever they exist. For more information, see Annual New Zealand Notices to Mariners, No. A and No. B. Guarding of Distress equencies. e radio watch on the international distress frequencies, which certain ships are required to keep when at sea, is also a vital factor in the coordination of rescue of people in distress at sea. is coordination will not be possible if ships are unable to alert each other, or to be alerted from shore for distress action. Every ship fitted with suitable radio equipment should make its contribution to safety by guarding those distress frequencies applicable for as long as practicable, whether or not required to do so by regulation. EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) IMPORTANT NOTE: om February 00, satellite monitoring of./ MHz beacons ceased ANNUAL NZ NTM. dern EPIRBs operating on a frequency of 0 MHz, with a low power homing transmitter on. MHz, can be located very accurately by the COSPAS-SARSAT/EPIRB satellite system. e 0 MHz EPIRB has the capability of transmitting unique data containing details such as country of origin, the identity of the vessel and position information derived from either the EPIRB s on-board GPS or the vessel s navigation equipment. is information is stored in the satellite memory and downloaded to a satellite ground station when one comes within range. A receiving station, or Local User Terminal (LUT), has been installed in New Zealand which, together with two in Australia, provides coverage of the NZSRR. Ships are reminded that they must immediately report any accidental activation of an EPIRB, preferably through Taupo Maritime Radio. is is purely to establish whether a vessel is in distress, and no costs or prosecution will result from reporting an accidental activation.

210 SEARCH AND RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES Aircraft Used for Search and Rescue Operations. Civilian or Royal New Zealand Air Force aircraft may be used for SAR operations. Search aircraft may be equipped with search radar and VHF/UHF Direction Finding (D/F) and homing capability. Communications between search aircraft and merchant ships will normally be effected on the following frequencies:. MHz (Channel ) FM Voice International Distress, fety and Calling equency khz AM Voice International Distress, fety and Calling equency 0 khz USB Voice Scene of Search 0 khz USB Voice Scene of Search Additionally, communications may be established using a signalling lamp or on the following frequencies:. MHz AM Voice Scene of Search VHF. MHz AM Voice Scene of Search UHF. MHz AM Voice.0 MHz AM Voice International Aeronautical Emergency (VHF) (this frequency should only be used as a last resort) International Aeronautical Emergency (UHF) (this frequency should only be used as a last resort) Sea Rescue by Helicopter Procedures to Assist with Location by Helicopter. When a distress message is received from a ship in distress, or a medical evacuation is required, the rescue authorities may dispatch a helicopter to assist. Once the helicopter is airborne, the speed with which it locates the ship and the effectiveness of its work depends to a large extent on the cooperation of the ship concerned. om the air, especially if there is a lot of shipping in the area, it is very difficult for the helicopter pilot to identify the particular ship concerned, unless that ship uses a distinctive distress signal which can clearly be seen. Especially useful for helicopters are: (a) By day: orange smoke floats, or orange squares with V or circle, Aldis lamp or heliograph. (b) By night: Aldis lamp, night flares. i) It is essential that the ship s position be given as accurately as possible. ii) As many aircraft are equipped with GPS, latitude and longitude may be used. iii) Bearings should be described as true or magnetic, and must be given FROM a fixed object, such as a headland or lighthouse. iv) vi) e description of the vessel and local weather conditions should be included if time allows. Because of operational limitations, helicopters should not be delayed at the rescue scene. On large vessels a clear stretch of deck should be made available as a pick-up area if possible, and marked with a large letter H in white.

211 SEARCH AND RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES For all vessels, the following preparations need to be completed to ensure a safe transfer is made:. Note: ese procedures may be modified on instructions from the pilot if communications exist. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) Lower all masts, derricks, and radio aerials to provide a clear area for the helicopter to conduct the hoist. Keep all unnecessary personnel out of the way while the helicopter is conducting hoist operations. Under no circumstances must the hoist cable be attached to the vessel, sudden movements could cause the helicopter to crash if this is done. Tie down or stow all loose gear which may be blown by the rotor wash, which can be up to knots downwards. is includes hats, fishing gear, beverage cans, and paper. Nothing must be blown into the rotors, or become entangled with the hoist wire. Allow the helicopter s rescue equipment to touch the vessel s deck before handling it. is will allow any static electricity charge present to dissipate. However this should be clear of any flammable mixture spillage or venting area to preclude a possible fire or explosion from an electrostatic discharge. Ensure the person being hoisted is wearing a lifejacket, if at all possible. If it is a patient, they should be made as comfortable as possible, and if conscious, informed of the procedure of rescue. When the helicopter arrives, change course to place the wind thirty degrees on the port bow, or as directed by the pilot and continue at standard speed. At night, floodlights are useful to illuminate the vessel, but they must be facing down. By day, the vessel should indicate the apparent wind by flag, smoke, or other means, as long as it does not impair the pilot s visibility. Personnel on the ship, and survivors leaving the helicopter when it has landed ashore, must obey the instructions of the pilot or crew. Approach and leave the helicopter only from forward, in clear view of the pilot, and stay well clear of the after part of the helicopter, in particular the tail rotor and engine exhausts. ANNUAL NZ NTM Specifications for Helicopters Involved in SAR in New Zealand. e main type of military helicopter used for SAR duties in New Zealand is the NH0. is helicopter can rescue up to twelve persons at a time at short range. e Seasprite is also sometimes used, and can rescue up to four persons. Expect NH0 to be deployed from Ohakea within two hours. Allow up to four hours if the search area is within the radius bound by Hamilton Gisborne Nelson. Allow up to six hours within the radius bound by Whangarei Greymouth Christchurch. e Seasprite does not have a standard callout requirement and therefore would be utilised on an as required and as available basis. e Seasprite is a maritime helicopter and therefore is fitted with equipment that allows over water SAR operations at night. Additionally, the Seasprite is equipped with maritime search equipment including radar and forward looking infrared camera. Over water SAR is dependent on a number of factors, including weather conditions, day/night SAR, the number of persons, and the nature of the rescue. Although capable, the NH0 has not yet been approved for long distance over-water SAR operations for 0. is will be a capability that is tested and evaluated in 0/. e NH0 maximum distance from shore is 0 nautical miles. Further than this will require Senior Command approval after significant planning plus supporting aircraft in accompany which will consume valuable response time. Currently the NH0 has released the capability to conduct day/night low level over-water operations out to 0 nautical miles. is includes the ability to search both day and night down to 0 feet over water with night vision goggles. However, the capability for day/night winching from the water surface or vessels has not been released yet and is programmed for test and evaluation trials. NH0 and Seasprite helicopters are fitted with marine VHF, UHF and HF equipment. e HF equipment affords messages to be passed via shore. Civilian helicopters used by RCCNZ vary in their capacity for survivors and the distance from the shore at which they operate. st civilian rescue helicopters are also fitted with marine VHF.

212 SEARCH AND RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) Checklist. (a) Craft with medical emergency name, callsign (i) Medication available (b) Position lat/long or bearing/distance (j) Radio frequencies in use, monitored, or scheduled (c) Date/time of position (k) Craft description (d) Craft s course and speed (l) Local agent and telephone/fax numbers (e) Patient s name, nationality, age, sex, race (m) Last port of call, destination, ETA (f) Patient can/cannot speak English (n) On-scene weather and sea state (g) Patient s symptoms (o) Assistance required (h) Medication given (p) Other pertinent information Use of Ships in Assisting to Locate Aircraft in Distress: Masters Responsibilities. Aircraft which ditch cannot be assumed to stay afloat for long, but it should always be assumed that there will be survivors. Masters of ships within reasonable distance of an aircraft in distress should proceed with the greatest possible speed to its assistance. If a ship receives a distress message direct from an aircraft or liferaft, a D/F bearing should be taken and passed to a maritime radio station and other vessels in the area, together with the callsign of the aircraft, time taken, and position of the ship. Means by Which a Ship may Receive Distress Signals. Ships may receive distress signals in the following ways: (a) (b) By Radio Telephony (R/T) or Radio (Wireless) Telegraphy (W/T) on the appropriate international distress frequency; or By visual signals. Radio Telephony (R/T) or Radio (Wireless) Telegraphy (W/T) Distress Signals. Can be received from: (a) (b) (c) (d) A distressed aircraft still in flight see Appendix A of this Notice; rvivors after the casualty has occurred, by a hand-operated emergency radio transmitter see Appendix B of this Notice; A maritime radio station; or A search of other aircraft. References: For communications between aircraft stations and stations of the maritime mobile service, the provisions of Article of the International Telecommunications Union s Radio Regulations (Geneva 0) are obligatory. For International Regulations on Distress, Urgency, and fety Signals, see Admiralty List of Radio Signals, Volume, NP, (Parts and ). Visual Distress Signals. Can be received from: (a) A distressed aircraft: Apart from obvious signs, an aircraft may indicate that it is in distress by firing rockets or shells throwing red lights fired one at a time or at short intervals or by firing a parachute flare showing a red light. Navigation markers dropped by aircraft at sea, emitting white or yellow smoke or flame and smoke, should not be mistaken for distress signals. Low flying is not in itself an indication of distress. Aircraft in distress which are forced to alight on the sea are instructed to do so ahead and in the lee of a ship.

213 (b) (c) An aircraft with an urgent message concerning safety: An aircraft having an urgent need to notify information relating to its own safety or that of another aircraft or ship, or the safety of any person on board or within sight may use one of the following signals: i) A succession of green pyrotechnic signals; or ii) A succession of green flashes with signal apparatus. A search aircraft: When it is necessary for an aircraft to direct a ship to an aircraft or ship in distress, the aircraft will do so by transmitting precise instructions by any means at its disposal. If not by radio or signal lamp, the instructions will be given by carrying out the following manoeuvres: i) Circling the ship at least once; ii) Crossing the projected course of the ship close ahead at low altitude; and either rocking the wings, opening and closing the throttle, or changing propeller pitch*; or iii) SEARCH AND RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES Heading in the direction in which the ship is to be directed. If carried, smoke markers may be laid in the direction to proceed. * Important Note: Due to high noise levels on board ships, the sound of changes in throttle settings and propeller pitch may be less effective than rocking the aircraft, and are regarded as alternative means of attracting attention. ey are no longer carried out on turbo-prop aircraft. Green flares and/or white smoke markers may also be released by Orion aircraft in the vicinity of vessels to indicate that assistance is required, and that the aircraft wishes to establish communications. (d) rvivors in the sea: rvivors in a liferaft or other flotation device may use any of the following signals: i) Pyrotechnic signals emitting one or more red stars; ii) iii) iv) Flashing a heliograph; Flashing SOS or other distinctive signal by hand torch or other signalling lamp; Blowing of whistles; v) Fluorescent dye marker giving an extensive bright green colour to the sea around the survivors; vi) vii) A liferaft may also be located by yellow kite or balloon being flown to support the aerial for the emergency radio transmitter; EPIRB; or viii) Hand held marine VHF transceiver. ANNUAL NZ NTM When Assistance is No Longer Required 0. e following aircraft manoeuvres shall mean that the assistance of the ship to which the signal is directed is no longer required: Crossing the wake of the ship close astern at a low altitude, and: (a) Rocking the wings; or (b) Opening and closing the throttle; or (c) Changing the propeller pitch.. Ships should acknowledge receipt of signals from aircraft by hoisting the answering pennant (red and white vertical stripes), by flashing a succession of T s by signal light in morse code, or by making a change of heading to follow aircraft. Ships should immediately set watch on radio distress frequencies. If a ship is unable to comply, it should indicate this by hoisting the flag N (blue and white checkered squares), or by flashing a succession of N s in morse code.

214 SEARCH AND RESCUE INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES Use of Aircraft in Assisting to Locate Shipping in Distress: Importance of a Distinctive Distress Signal. om the air, especially if there is a lot of shipping in the area, it is very difficult for a pilot to identify the particular ship in distress, unless that ship uses a distinctive distress signal which can clearly be seen. Especially useful are orange smoke floats and/or an orange fluorescent sheet with letter V or circle, during the day, or an Aldis lamp during the day or night. In bright sunlight, a heliograph may also be used. e display of these signals will save valuable time in locating the casualty, and may mean the difference between success and failure. Providing Ship s Position. It is essential that the ship s position be given as accurately as possible. Bearings should be described as true or magnetic, and must be given FROM a fixed object, such as a headland or lighthouse. e description of the vessel and local weather conditions should be included if time allows. Night Search Technique (see diagram on following page). is technique takes advantage of the greater visibility of pyrotechnics at night. e aircraft will fly through the search area at between 000 and 000 feet and use track spacing of 0 miles. A green flare will be fired approximately every five-ten minutes and on turning. When a green flare is sighted, it is most important that the following actions are taken: (a) Wait for the glare of the green flare to die out; (b) Fire one red flare; (c) Fire another red flare after about one minute to enable the aircraft to line up on your bearing; and (d) Fire a third flare when the aircraft is overhead or appears to be going badly off course. Important Notes: Each lifeboat or liferaft should carry at least three red flares. If all else fails, use any means at your disposal to attract attention. e aircraft will probably drop a marine marker to mark your position DO NOT TOUCH THE MARKER to do so could result in severe burns or major damage to a liferaft. e aircraft may also drop a sonobuoy to act as an electronic marker. Ships may talk to aircraft by recovering the sonobuoy hydrophone hung approximately 0 metres below the sonobuoy and speaking into it in a normal voice. e sonobuoy cannot receive transmission from the aircraft. A written message may also be attached to the buoy or dropped from the aircraft in a small package. Action to be Taken When an Aircraft is Forced to Ditch. e captain of a distressed aircraft will be materially assisted in locating a ship if the latter: (a) Transmits homing bearings to the aircraft or (if so requested) transmits signal enabling the aircraft to take its own bearings; and (b) (c) By day makes black smoke; or By night directs a searchlight vertically. Ditching an aircraft is difficult and usually dangerous. A ship which knows that an aircraft intends to ditch should, if practicable, try to provide a lee of calm water. is may be achieved by any means at the master s discretion, such as steering on a circular course through 0. An aircraft will usually ditch on the starboard side of a ship and heading into the wind, although, when seas are running high, it may attempt to land along the trough of the seas. In the absence of communication, the former should be assumed. At night the ship should floodlight the ditching area as much as possible, without dazzling the pilot, who could lose control at a critical moment. If flame floats are available, six should be laid at 00 metre intervals in line astern to indicate the suggested alighting area.

Action to be Taken When Aircraft rvivors are Rescued. A survivor from any aircraft casualty at sea who is rescued by a ship may be able to give information which will assist in the rescue of other survivors. Masters should ask the following questions and communicate the answers, together with the position of the rescuing vessel and the time the survivor was rescued, to a maritime radio station: (a) Did you bale out, or was the aircraft ditched? What was the type and identification of the aircraft, and date and time of the accident? (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) If you baled out, at what altitude? How many others did you see leave the aircraft by parachute? How many ditched with the aircraft? How many did you see leave the aircraft after ditching? How many survivors did you see in the water? What flotation gear did they have? What was the total number of persons aboard the aircraft before the accident? What caused the emergency?

218 A MODERNISED AUSTRALIAN SHIP TRACKING AND REPORTING SYSTEM (MASTREP) Ships Position Reports Australian Search and Rescue Region. A prior knowledge of the positions of vessels in the vicinity of isolated air routes in the South st Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea is of considerable importance in flight planning and the coordination of rescue operations.. e Australian government operates the dernised Australian Ship Tracking and Reporting System (MASTREP) for vessels within its Search and Rescue (SAR) area. Additional vessel tracking systems are in force around Australia, in ports and through environmentally sensitive areas such as the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, MASTREP is a mandatory reporting system for the following vessels: (a) foreign vessels from the arrival at its first port in Australia until its departure from its final port in Australia; and (b) all regulated Australian vessels whilst in the MASTREP area.. MASTREP uses Position Reports, which must be transmitted by the vessel s Automatic Identification System in accordance with the International Maritime Organization s International Convention for the fety of Life at Sea,, (SOLAS). e objective of MASTREP is to contribute to safety of life at sea by providing additional information relating to a vessel s passage which may limit the SAR area and provide up to date information on shipping resources in the area.. MASTREP is a passive ship reporting system and there are no requirements to send iling Plans, Deviation Reports or Final Reports. No positive SAR watch is maintained under this system.. Participation in MASTREP does not remove the continued obligation of mandatory reporting to REEFVTS when transiting through the Great Barrier Reef and the Torres Strait.. In addition to MASTREP, vessels are encouraged to participate in the AMVER system see Annual New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No. B.. Details of these reporting systems can be obtained from the Ship Reporting Systems section in the Admiralty List of Radio Signals, Volume, Part, NP().

219 B THE AMVER ORGANISATION (PACIFIC OCEAN) (Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue System) Purpose and Details of Organisation. e Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue System (AMVER), operated by the United States Coastguard, is an international maritime mutual assistance organisation which provides important aid to the development and coordination of Search and Rescue (SAR) efforts in the AMVER reporting area. New Zealand is a participant in the AMVER system. New Zealand merchant vessels are encouraged to send movement reports and periodic position reports to the AMVER centre on Governors Island in Lower New York harbour, via selected coast radio stations. Information from these reports is entered onto computer which supplies dead reckoning positions of the vessels. Appropriate information concerning the predicted location and SAR characteristics of each vessel known to be within an area of interest is made available on request to recognised SAR agencies of any nation, or person in distress, for use during an emergency. Predicted locations are disclosed only for reasons concerning maritime safety. AMVER SURPICS (surface pictures) are used in conjunction with ships position information obtained from sources such as VTS, AIS or Distress Alert messages received via GMDSS Communication terminals. SURPICS can only be as accurate as the information fed into the AMVER system, and accuracy can only be achieved by ships masters ensuring that their reports are correct and are kept up-to-date, particularly in respect of diversions or revised estimation times of arrival at ports. AMVER Message Types and Format. Any vessel of any nation departing on an offshore passage of hours duration or greater is encouraged to become a participant in the AMVER system by sending appropriate AMVER messages in four types of format described in US Coastguard AMVER User Manual ( e messages may be transmitted at any convenient time as long as the information is accurate and the data corresponds to the time specified. e information may be estimated for a short time in the future, for the present or for a short time past. Address of AMVER Message. If a ship already has an inexpensive means of sending to an internet address, this is a preferred method. may be sent via satellite or via HF radio, depending on the ship s equipment and arrangements with communication providers ashore. Ships must be equipped with a personal computer, an interface between the computer and the ship s communication equipment, and the appropriate software. AMVER can be contacted via amvermsg@amver.org or amvermsg@amver.com.. All AMVER messages should be addressed to the participating AMVER Coast Radio Station to which the message is sent, AMVER (name of station). For example, AMVER TAUPO. Messages sent to any Canadian station should be addressed to AMVER HALIFAX or AMVER VANCOUVER. AMVER messages are considered to comply with the USA regulations requiring notification to the Coastguard captain hours before arrival at a US port.

221 C RADIO DISTRESS CALLING Digital Selective Calling (DSC). is is an automatic calling system which makes the initial contact between two stations, groups of stations or stations in a selected area. e caller composes a short message which is transmitted directly to the receiving station(s). It is the core part of the Global Maritime Distress fety System (GMDSS). New Zealand DSC Coverage. e system, based at Taupo Maritime Radio, has a coverage area for the GMDSS oceanic area designations* A and A in the New Zealand monitored sea area NAVAREA XIV.. DSC is not used on the maritime VHF or MF frequency bands and does not cover the GMDSS in-shore area designations* of A and A. * Definitions of GMDSS Sea Areas: A Within range of VHF coast stations (DSC alerting not available to shore stations in New Zealand). A Beyond area A, but within range of MF coastal stations (DSC alerting not available to shore stations in New Zealand). A Beyond the first two areas, but within coverage of geostationary maritime communication satellites (e.g. Inmarsat). is covers the area between roughly North and South. A An area outside sea areas A, A and A. North of approximately N or South of approximately S. is is essentially the polar regions (importantly for New Zealand this includes the Ross Sea). Note that this area is beyond the range of geostationary satellites. DSC Operation. When the DSC equipment receives a call it raises an alarm. Embedded within the alert signal is an indication of how subsequent communications should be made, either radiotelephony or radio telex. If the caller is in distress, the ship s Identifier Number (MMSI), position and nature of distress are included in the DSC message. For distress and urgency alerts, the alarm sounds continuously until the received information has been read by the operator. DSC Distress alerts received by Taupo Maritime Radio are immediately passed to the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ).. DSC uses the HF maritime radio frequencies in the,,, and MHz bands. DSC Distress Procedures To be used by all HF DSC-equipped vessels operating in the NAVAREA XIV sea areas A and A if time permits. ANNUAL NZ NTM. By a Ship Transmitting a DSC Distress Alert: (a) If time permits, consult the optimum frequency/range diagrams for communicating with Taupo Maritime Radio which are published quarterly in the New Zealand Notices to Mariners. As a general rule the DSC distress channel in the MHz maritime band (. khz) may in many cases be an appropriate first choice. (b) DSC distress alerts may be sent on a number of HF bands by transmitting the distress call either as: (i) Five consecutive calls on one frequency (single frequency call attempt), and waiting a few minutes for receiving acknowledgement by a coast station; or (ii) Up to six consecutive calls dispersed over a maximum of six distress frequencies (one at MF and five at HF). Note that Taupo Maritime does not monitor the MF DSC distress frequency. Stations transmitting multi-frequency call attempts should be able to receive acknowledgements continuously on all frequencies except for the transmit frequency in use. (c) AFTER the vessel has received a DSC acknowledgement of their distress alert, transmit a MAYDAY call on the associated HF radio telephony band. For example, if. khz had been used for the DSC distress alert, then khz would be used for the MAYDAY message. (d) Normally a DSC acknowledgement should be received from a coast station (Note: a coast station MMSI always begins with 00, for example Taupo Maritime Radio 000).

Switch to the associated HF band, and listen to the MAYDAY call and message, which should follow. Wait for at least three minutes for an acknowledgement of the MAYDAY message from a coast station using the selected HF band. If, after three minutes, no acknowledgement from a coast station is received, transmit a DSC MAYDAY RELAY alert to a suitable shore station if using DSC and inform any Rescue Coordination Centre that a MAYDAY message has been received and give the details. is relay message can be sent by any means, on any suitable GMDSS distress and safety frequency. e following frequencies have been assigned to Taupo Maritime Radio (ZLM) for Distress, Urgency and fety use for DSC, Voice and SITOR: Bands DSC Voice SITOR (FEC) HF 0..

223 FIRING PRACTICE, EXERCISE AND SUBMARINE SAFE BOTTOMING AREAS. Firing and bombing practices and defence exercises take place intermittently in a number of areas off the coast of New Zealand.. In view of the responsibilities of range authorities to avoid accidents, limits of practice areas are not shown on New Zealand and British Admiralty charts, and descriptions of areas do not appear in the Admiralty iling Directions, New Zealand Pilot (NP). Diagrams of danger areas are included at the end of this Notice. However, such range beacons, lights, and marker buoys which may be of assistance to the mariner, or targets which might be a danger to navigation, will be shown on charts and, when appropriate, mentioned in NP.. e principal types of practices carried out are: Type Description Remarks (a) Air-to-Ground; or (b) Air-to-Sea (c) Sea- or Ground-to- Air (d) Air-to-Air (e) Ground-to-Sea; or (f) Sea-to-Sea; or (g) Sea-to-Ground (h) Rocket or Guided apons Firing (i) Bombing practice from aircraft at ground targets; or (ii) Aircraft firing at towed or stationary targets on sea or land. Anti-aircraft firing from shore batteries or ships from AA guns or machine guns at a target towed by aircraft as in (a)(ii) above, or at balloons. Aircraft fire at a large white or red sleeve or flag (which may be illuminated by a bright white light) towed by another aircraft moving on a steady course. Firing from shore batteries or ships at fixed or floating targets. May be (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (g) above. Warning signals are usually shown. Firing takes place to seaward of land targets. All marine craft operating as range safety craft or targets will display, for identification purposes, while in the vicinity of the danger area by day, a large red flag at the masthead. Ships show a red flag by day; a night signal is not shown. All such firings under Clear (Air and Sea) Range procedure. Devices are generally incorporated whereby the missiles may be destroyed should their flights be erratic. Ships show a red flag by day; a night signal is not shown. Notification of Practices ANNUAL NZ NTM Warnings will not be issued in respect of exercise areas D and M0 as these areas are considered to be in continual use. ese areas are described in the following pages.. For the information of ships at sea, warnings of practices will be notified by: (a) e broadcast of VHF and R/T (Radio-Telephony) messages which will be promulgated during evening and morning transmission times before any practice takes place. For times and frequencies of these transmissions, see Annual New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No. ; (b) (c) (d) New Zealand Notices to Mariners (NTMs), if practices are to be of long duration, i.e. seven days or more; Additional warnings of Army live shell practices only will be notified by advertisement in a newspaper or newspapers within the port concerned not less than twenty four hours before a practice begins and by the New Zealand Maritime Radio regional station for the port concerned not less than twelve hours before any practice; In addition to (a) for all firings in the New Zealand area, whether in prescribed areas or not, firing warnings are to be passed on R/T khz and VHF Channel, five minutes prior to the commencement of live firing, every 0 minutes thereafter, and immediately on completion of firings. e nature of the broadcast will be...i am about to commence gunnery practice... or...i have completed gunnery practice...

224 FIRING PRACTICE, EXERCISE AND SUBMARINE SAFE BOTTOMING AREAS Form of Warning. In order to promulgate the danger areas, warnings are transmitted: (a) Via fetynet on Inmarsat-C ECG (Coastal Area Z); and (b) As an R/T transmission to the relevant coastal area(s) affected by such warnings as Coastal Navigation Warnings (see Annual New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No., paragraphs ). Note: Warnings may be promulgated in NTMs, see paragraph (b) above. Warning Signals Visual. ese consist of a large red flag by day and a fixed red light at night. e absence of any such signal cannot, however, be accepted as evidence that a practice area does not exist. Warning signals are shown from half an hour before practice commences until it ceases. Ships and aircraft carrying out night exercises may illuminate with white, green, or red flares. Caution. e range authorities are responsible for ensuring that there should be no risk of damage from falling shell splinters or bullets to any vessel that may be in a practice area. If a vessel is in an area where practice is in progress, the vessel should maintain its course and speed, but, if prevented from doing so by the exigencies of navigation, the vessel should endeavour to clear the area at the earliest possible moment. Practices will not normally take place while a vessel is in a danger area, but the areas must be cleared as soon as possible after the warning has been shown. Clear Range Procedure. e following limits are used by RNZAF crews engaged in dropping live weapons: (a) e dropping area is to be at least 0 nautical miles ( miles*) from the nearest land, outside the 0 metre line and at least 0 nautical miles ( miles*) from all shipping; (b) (c) e visibility is to be greater than five nautical miles and all attacks are to be made from below the cloud base. e target is to be visible at the time of the drop; e area through which and into which any weapons will pass or fall is to be clear of all air and sea traffic. *Limits used for practice weapons. Ordnance Brought to the rface. Fishermen operating in the vicinity of firing practice and exercise areas may occasionally bring unexploded missiles or portions of them to the surface in their nets or trawls. ese objects may be dangerous and should be treated with great caution and jettisoned immediately (fixing the position, if possible). NO ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO TAMPER WITH THEM OR BRING THEM BACK FOR INSPECTION BY NAVAL AUTHORITIES For more information, see Annual New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No..

231 FORMER MINE DANGER AREAS; SWEPT ROUTES AND INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING EXPLOSIVES PICKED UP AT SEA. Minefields were laid in many parts of the world during World War II. Many of these minefields have been swept, others have had routes swept through them. ese routes are mostly marked by buoys and have been used safely by shipping for many years. Due to the lapse in time, navigation through these minefields, whether they have been swept or not, is now considered no more dangerous from mines than from any other of the usual hazards to navigation. But in the unswept areas a real danger still exists with regard to anchoring, fishing or any form of submarine or seabed activity. Furthermore, uncharted wrecks and shoals may lie in these areas, some of which are not covered by modern surveys. Former mine danger areas are mentioned in appropriate volumes of Admiralty iling Directions, with full details in an appendix. Even in swept waters and routes there is a remote risk that mines may still remain, having failed to respond to orthodox sweeping methods. Mariners are therefore advised only to anchor in port approaches and established anchorages. In an emergency it is better to anchor in a swept route rather than in unswept waters.. Although unlikely, there remains a remote possibility of drifting mines being sighted in New Zealand waters. All drifting mines should be reported immediately to the naval authorities via a coast radio station. e time of sighting and position of the mine is important in the reporting information so that an appropriate warning to other shipping can be broadcast. A drifting mine is best left for the naval experts to deal with. Rifle fire could pierce the casing and sink the mine without causing it to explode. It could then, if it is near the coast, get washed up on a beach or end up in a trawl in a lethal state.. Mines, torpedoes, depth charges, bombs and other explosive missiles are sometimes picked up in trawls, often in waters comparatively distant from New Zealand. Explosive weapons are dangerous even if they have been in the water for many years, and the following guidance is given with them: (a) A suspected explosive weapon should not be landed on deck if it has been observed while the trawl is still outboard. e trawl should be lowered and where possible towed clear of regular fishing grounds, if possible to a depth of between 0 and 0 metres before cutting away the net as necessary. (b) e position and depth of water where the mine was cut away should be passed to the naval authorities via the coast radio station or direct to Headquarters Joint Forces New Zealand 000 HQJFNZ (000 ) or +. In the event of the weapon not being detected until the contents of the trawl have been discharged on deck, the master of the fishing vessel must decide whether to rid the ship of the weapon by passing it over the side or to make for the nearest port informing the HQJFNZ and New Zealand Police via the coast radio station without delay. is decision will depend on the circumstances, but should be guided by the following points: (i) Great care should be taken to avoid bumping the weapon. (ii) If retained onboard it should be stowed on deck, away from heat and vibration, firmly chocked and lashed to prevent movement. (iii) (iv) (v) It should be kept covered up and damped down. is is important because any explosive which may have become exposed to the atmosphere is liable to become very sensitive to shock if allowed to dry out. e weapon should be kept onboard for as short a time as possible. If within two or three hours steaming of the coastline the safest measure will generally be to run towards the nearest port and lie a safe distance offshore to await the arrival of a bomb disposal unit. Under no circumstances should the vessel bring the mine or weapon into harbour. (c) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should attempts be made to clean the weapon for identification purposes, open it or tamper with it in any way. ANNUAL NZ NTM (d) A ship with an explosive weapon onboard, or in her gear, should warn other ships in the vicinity giving her position and, if applicable, intended position of jettison.. Re-moored mines which have drifted in from deeper water trailing a length of cable, are likely to become dangerous should the cable foul some obstruction on the bottom. In this case the mine may not appear on the surface at all states of the tide. ch mines should be reported in the same way as drifting mines.. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should an attempt be made to recover a mine and bring it to port, and rewards formerly paid to mariners for such recovery have been discontinued. For further information refer to the Admiralty publication e Mariner s Handbook (NP0). Authority: Royal New Zealand Navy 0 ANNUAL NZ NOTICES TO MARINERS New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

232 UNDER-KEEL CLEARANCE Cautionary Notes Charts and Tide Predictions. It is increasingly common for mariners to navigate in shallow water with a bare minimum depth below the keel (under-keel clearance). is minimum depth below the keel is usually assessed from the charted depths and predicted tide levels. Given this the mariner should note the following: (a) Due to the technical limitations of hydrographic surveys and the uncertainties in tidal reductions for surveys, nautical charts can seldom be absolutely reliable in their representation of depth. Other limitations of hydrographic surveys are discussed at length in the Admiralty publication e Mariner s Handbook (NP0). (b) (c) (d) (e) e mariner should be aware that any chart, regardless of age of survey, may not show all seabed obstructions or shoalest depths. Depths can change quickly in areas where the seabed is highly dynamic. ese critical areas are surveyed more frequently but significant changes can occur in between surveys. In all cases the mariner should contact the localauthority for the latest survey and depth information. Tidal levels, and therefore the least depth over seabed obstructions, are affected by meteorological conditions, i.e. barometric pressure, wind, swell, and both positive and negative storm surges. ese are described in the Tidal Section, New Zealand Nautical Almanac (NZ 0) and in the Admiralty Tide Tables (NP0). As a result, actual tide levels may vary appreciably from predicted values. Where an expected least depth or an under-keel clearance is determined using only tidal predictions and charted depths the uncertainty in the survey and tidal predictions may be compounded. Waves Caused by Meteorological Conditions. Mariners are warned that in addition to local swell waves, certain meteorological conditions may generate swell waves which can significantly reduce a vessel s under-keel clearance in the approaches to some New Zealand ports. ese swell waves may be generated from any or all of the following: (a) Long period swell waves with amplitudes up to 0. metre and periods up to 0 minutes; (b) Infra-gravity waves (waves generated by the interaction between swell waves) with amplitudes up to. metres and a period of several minutes; (c) Rissaga (meteorological tsunami) generated by fast moving atmospheric pressure systems. e generation of such swell waves is particularly likely when a deep depression situated to the east of New Zealand is moving quickly towards the south-east. Ports on the east coast of New Zealand which are exposed to swell from south through to east are particularly susceptible to swell effects. Mariners should navigate large vessels with caution under swell conditions. e prudent mariner will allow for navigational uncertainties by preserving adequate clearance, both horizontally and vertically. New Zealand locations where long period swell, infra-gravity waves and rissaga may be experienced: Approaches to Port Taranaki Approaches to Lyttelton Approaches to Whangarei Harbour Approaches to Timaru Approaches to Gisborne Approaches to Otago Harbour Approaches to Napier Foveaux Strait Approaches to llington Dynamic Under-Keel Clearance Systems. Dynamic Under-Keel Clearance (DUKC) systems generate predictive information regarding a particular vessel s under-keel clearance in the expected weather, tidal and sea conditions. e pilot provides this information from the DUKC system to the ship s master. DUKC systems are in operation at the following New Zealand ports: Port Taranaki Marsden Point Napier ANNUAL NZ NTM Authority: Land Information New Zealand ANNUAL NZ NOTICES TO MARINERS New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

233 INFORMATION CONCERNING SUBMARINES Warning Signals. Mariners are warned that considerable hazard to life may result from the disregard of the following signals which denote the presence of submarines: (a) Visual signals. Warships fly the International Code Group NE to denote that submarines which may be submerged, are in the vicinity. Vessels are cautioned to steer so as to give a wide berth to any vessel flying this signal. If from any cause it is necessary to approach her, a good look-out must be kept for submarines whose presence may be indicated only by their periscopes or snort masts showing above the water. (b) Pyrotechnics and smoke candles. e following signals are used by submerged submarines: Signal White smoke candle (with flame)... Yellow smoke candles Yellow and green pyro flares. Red pyro flares... (may be accompanied by smoke candles repeated as often as possible). Signification Indicates position in response to request from ship or aircraft, or as required. Keep clear I am carrying out emergency surfacing procedure. Do not stop propellers. Clear the immediate area, but stand by to render assistance. Note: If the red pyro flare signal is sighted and the submarine does not surface within minutes, it should be assumed that the submarine is in distress and has sunk. An immediate attempt should be made to fix the position in which the signal was sighted, after which action in accordance with paragraphs below should be taken.. It must not be inferred from the above that submarines exercise only when in company with escorting vessels. bmarines operate in areas other than promulgated bmarine Exercise Areas.. e note bmarine Exercise Area on certain charts should not be read to mean that submarines do not exercise outside such areas. Under normal circumstances the majority of submarine exercise activity will be limited to promulgated Military Operating Areas (MOA). However this does not preclude exercises or operations in other areas. In such cases, participating units will make or display appropriate warning signals. Under certain circumstances warnings that submarines are exercising in specified areas may be broadcast by a coast radio station or promulgated in printed navigational warnings. For more information regarding bmarine Exercise Areas in New Zealand, see Annual New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No.. ANNUAL NZ NTM Navigation Lights. bmarines have their masthead and side lights placed well forward and very low over the water in proportion to the length and tonnage of these vessels. In particular: (a) Some submarines can show a forward masthead light only in calm confined waters; (b) In other submarines the forward masthead light may be lower than the sidelights; (c) e main masthead light may be well forward of the mid-point of the submarine s length; (d) Some submarines, despite their length, may show only one masthead light.. Stern lights are placed very low indeed, and may at times be partially obscured by spray and wash. In some cases the stern lights will be well forward of the after part of the submarine, and thus will not give a true indication of the submarine s length. ey are invariably lower than the side lights.. e after light of submarines at anchor is mounted on the upper rudder which is some distance astern of the hull s surface waterline. Care must be taken to avoid confusion with two separate vessels of less than 0 metres in length.. e overall arrangement of submarine lights is therefore unusual and may well give the impression of markedly smaller and shorter vessels than what they are. eir vulnerability to collision when proceeding on the surface dictates particular caution when approaching them. Nearly all submarines are fitted with an amber quick-flashing light situated above or abaft the main steaming light. is additional light is for use as an aid to identification in narrow waters and areas of dense traffic. Australian submarines will normally burn this identification light under the above conditions, and when entering or leaving harbour at night.. Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Collins class submarines exhibit a very quick flashing yellow identification light ( flashes per minute) VQ.Y. is identification light should not be confused with an air cushion vessel operating in a non-displacement mode which displays the same light.

234 INFORMATION CONCERNING SUBMARINES nken bmarine. A bottomed submarine which is unable to surface will try to indicate her position by firing candles which give off yellow or white smoke. is will be done either on the approach of surface vessels or at regular intervals. As far as possible yellow candles will be used by day. Note: It should be remembered that it may be impossible for a submarine to fire her smoke candles. Correspondingly a partially flooded submarine may have only a certain number of her smoke candles available, and searching ships should therefore not expect many to appear.. Since oil slicks or debris may be the only indication of the presence or whereabouts of the sunken submarine, it is vitally important that surface ships refrain from discharging anything which might appear to have come from a submarine while they are in the submarine probability area. Searching ships and aircraft can waste many valuable hours investigating these false contacts.. Some submarine pyrotechnics can be fitted with message carriers. If a message has been attached, the pyrotechnic will be fitted with a dye marker, which gives off a yellowish-green dye on the surface. ch a pyrotechnic should be recovered as soon as it has finished burning.. RAN Collins class submarines are fitted with the purpose bmarine Launched EPIRB (SERB). A description of the SERB is given at paragraph 0 below.. e sighting of any beacon answering the attached description should at once be reported by the quickest available means to the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand, the Royal New Zealand Navy or New Zealand Police. However, if vessels are unable to establish communications without leaving the vicinity of the submarine, it should be borne in mind that the primary consideration should be for vessels to remain standing by to rescue survivors, and not leave the scene of the accident. Every effort should be made to include in the report the serial number of the beacon; this number is affixed on top of the SERB (see paragraph 0 below).. At any time after a submarine accident, survivors may start attempting to escape. Current policy dictates that survivors will wait before escaping until: (a) Rescue vessels are known to be standing by; or (b) Conditions inside the submarine deteriorate to such an extent that an attempt to escape must be made. In this situation, personnel will be wearing a red/orange escape suit enclosed in a red/orange single person life raft OR if escape was conducted immediately (Rush Escape) survivors will be wearing orange coloured bmarine Escape Jerkins (SEJ). SEJs provide no thermal insulation qualities. rvivors wearing SEJs would present the same visual aspect as personnel wearing a large life jacket.. It should be noted that, in certain circumstances, the situation described in paragraph (b) above may not arise through lack of air supply until several days after the accident. However, if the submarine is badly damaged, survivors may have to make an escape attempt immediately. Any ship finding a SERB should therefore not leave the position, but stand by well clear ready to pick up survivors. e latter will ascend nearly vertically, and it is plainly important that plenty of sea room is given to enable them to do so in safety. On arrival on the surface, they may be exhausted or ill. erefore, if circumstances are favourable, the presence of a boat already lowered is very desirable. Some survivors may require a recompression chamber, and it will therefore be the aim of the naval authorities to get such a chamber to the scene as soon as possible.. In order that those trapped in the submarine will be made aware that help is at hand, Navy vessels drop small charges into the sea. ese can be heard from inside the submarine. ere is no objection to the use of small charges for this purpose; but it is vital that they are not dropped too close. is is because crew in the process of making ascents are particularly vulnerable to underwater explosions, and may easily receive fatal injuries. A distance of a quarter of a mile is considered to be safe. If no small charges are available, the running of an echo sounder or the banging of the outer skin of the ship s hull with a hammer from a position below the water-line is likely to be heard in the submarine. ch banging and/or sounding should therefore be carried out at frequent intervals.. bmarines may at any time release pyrotechnic floats, which on reaching the surface burn with flame and/or smoke thus, serving to mark the position of the wreck. ey are likely to acknowledge sound signals by this means.. To sum up, the aims of a submarine rescue operation are: (a) To fix the exact position of the submarine; (b) To get a ship standing by to pick up survivors if practicable with boats already lowered; (c) To get medical assistance to survivors picked up; (d) To get a diver s decompression chamber to the scene in case this is required by those seriously ill after being exposed to great pressure; (e) (f) To inform the trapped crew that help is at hand; and To notify appropriate authorities.

235 INFORMATION CONCERNING SUBMARINES. ere is a large Navy organisation designed to fulfil these aims which is always kept at instant readiness for action. It is clear, however, that any ship may at any time find evidence of a submarine disaster, and if she takes prompt and correct action, as described above, she may be in a position to play a vital part. bmarine Emergency Radio Beacon (SERB) 0. is beacon is made of aluminium, coloured orange and is cylindrical in shape, with two whip aerials. e beacon is fitted with an automatic transmitting unit (battery life of hours) operating on the following frequencies: 0.0 MHz COSPAS-SARSAT/EPIRB; MHz Military Air Guard; and. MHz Civil Air Guard. SERBs carried in RAN Collins class submarines can be released from inside the submarine from each Escape Compartment via a bmerged Signal Ejector, and are not tethered to the submarine in any way. Additionally, if pre-programmed by the crew of the disabled submarine, the EPIRB signal can carry a coded message indicating the following information: (a) Local time of release; (b) Number of survivors; (c) Time till escape must start in hours; (d) Depth (if less than 0 metres) or an indication that rescue is required; (e) Internal pressure; (f) Medical status of survivors; (g) Presence of hostile forces; and (h) Estimated Lat/Long. ANNUAL NZ NTM bmarine Launched Expendable Communications Buoy (ECB). is buoy is used for tactical communications between submarines and warships/aircraft. It can, however, be fired in an emergency default mode. In this case it will transmit a SABRE tone on MHz Military Air Guard.. General descriptions of bmarine Emergency Radio Beacons (SERB), Expendable Communications Buoys (ECB), smoke candles fired from submarines, sonobuoys, and aircraft floats, smoke and flame markers are as follows: (a) White Smoke Candles. ese are fired from submarines to indicate their position. ey burn for up to minutes emitting white smoke and flame, and thus can be seen day or night; they can easily be confused with the smoke and flame of aircraft marine markers and floats. (b) (c) (d) Yellow Smoke Candles. ese are fired from submarines to indicate their position. ey burn for about five minutes emitting yellow smoke. ey can be seen more easily than the white smoke candles in rough weather, but cannot be seen at night. Sonobuoys. ese are dropped from aircraft to detect submarines and may be encountered anywhere at sea. Other countries have similar sonobuoys but their colour and dimensions are not known. e Expendable Communications Buoy (ECB) provides a one way line-of-sight communication between the disabled submarine and surface units. e ECB is a programmable tactical buoy which acts as an alert beacon for submarines in distress. When used in the Alert mode, the buoy transmits a tone on MHz. e ECB is pre-programmed for distress and does not require programming prior to launch. When the ECB arrives at the surface, it deploys an aerial and flotation collar and commences to transmit. e following statistics are relevant: Transmitting Cycle Range Battery Life Minutes Transmit Minute 0 NM Aircraft Hours + NM Shore NM Ship. e above may frequently be encountered in areas where warships and aircraft exercise, whether or not submarines are present, and should not be confused with submarine emergency buoys and beacons. In case of doubt, the object should be approached to confirm visually whether or not it is a submarine emergency buoy or beacon before reporting it.

237 MARITIME SAFETY INFORMATION Introduction. Maritime fety Information (MSI) is defined as navigational and meteorological warnings, meteorological forecasts, and other urgent safety-related messages. is information is of vital importance to all vessels at sea. Note that communications related to search and rescue operations such as distress alerts, coordination of operations, local communications and positioning signals are never MSI. Search and Rescue operations may, however, involve the broadcasting of MSI in the navigational warning category, described in (f) below. Navigational warnings are designed to give the mariner information relating to dangers and aids to navigation and are primarily to assist mariners in navigation up to the entrance of ports. Information of a less essential nature, and matters within a harbour entrance, which may form the subject of a Notice to Mariners or local harbour warnings, will not normally be broadcast by coast radio stations. ch information is available from harbour authorities, and all vessels are advised to contact the harbour radiotelephone station before entering the port. Navigational warnings are broadcast for as long as the information is valid and shall remain in force until cancelled by the originating authority. ANNUAL NZ NTM Types of Warnings. ere are three types of navigational warnings: (a) Long Range Navigational Warnings these warnings are part of the NAVAREA system (NAVAREA XIV for New Zealand) of long range navigational warnings concerned with information which ocean-going mariners require for their safe navigation. is includes, in particular, new navigational hazards and failures to important aids to navigation as well as information which may require changes to planned navigational routes. (b) (c) Coastal Navigational Warnings these warnings provide information which are relevant to safe navigation within areas seaward of the fairway buoy or pilot station, and should not be restricted to main shipping routes. Local Navigational Warnings these warnings are broadcast to supplement Coastal Navigational Warnings by giving detailed information within inshore waters and often within the limits of a harbour or port authority. ese warnings are broadcast via the local harbour VHF radio and are often made available by the ports and harbours on their websites.. Types of MSI (Joint IHO/IMO/WMO Manual on Maritime fety Information, IHO Publication S-, section...): (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) (k) (l) Casualties to lights, fog signals, buoys and other aids to navigation affecting main shipping lanes; e presence of dangerous wrecks in or near main shipping lanes and, if relevant, their marking; Establishment of major new aids to navigation or significant changes to existing ones when such establishment or change might be misleading to shipping; e presence of large unwieldy tows in congested waters; Drifting hazards (including derelict ships, ice, mines, containers, other large items over metres in length etc.); Areas where search and rescue (SAR) and anti-pollution operations are being carried out (for avoidance of such areas); e presence of newly discovered rocks, shoals, reefs and wrecks likely to constitute a danger to shipping and, if relevant, their marking; Unexpected alteration or suspension of established routes; Cable or pipe laying activities, seismic surveys, the towing of large submerged objects for research or exploration purposes, the employment of manned or unmanned submersibles, or other underwater operations constituting potential dangers in or near shipping lanes; e establishment of research or scientific instruments in or near shipping lanes; e establishment of offshore structures in or near shipping lanes; Significant malfunctioning of radio-navigation services and shore-based maritime safety information radio or satellite services; (m) Information concerning events which might affect the safety of shipping, sometimes over wide areas, e.g. naval exercises, missile firings, space missions, nuclear tests, ordnance dumping zones, etc.; (n) (o) (p) Operating anomalies identified within Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS) including Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) issues; Acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships; Tsunamis and other natural phenomena, such as abnormal changes to sea level; Authorities: Land Information New Zealand, Maritime New Zealand ANNUAL NZ NOTICES TO MARINERS New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

An initial call will be made on the calling frequencies, and khz. Warnings will then be broadcast on the working frequencies 0, and khz. Masters are recommended to arrange, whenever possible, for a radio operator or an officer to listen at the scheduled time before sailing at which this information is broadcast, in case any dangers affecting their routes are notified. A warning will be repeated on request by a ship to ZLM. Operators should, however, make every effort to obtain these warnings at the scheduled hours of transmission. Normally warnings will be broadcast at routine times and for as long as may be deemed necessary. Vessels fitted with R/T are requested not to make routine transmissions, or khz during the periods referred to in the schedule of R/T broadcasts..

243 SHIPPING ROUTES AROUND THE NEW ZEALAND COAST GENERAL PROVISIONS fe Navigation Passage Planning. ere is an obligation on the master or skipper of a vessel, prior to proceeding to sea, to ensure that the intended vougage is planned. Development of a passage plan, and close and continuous monitoring of the vessel s progress and position during the execution of such a plan, are of essential importance for safety of life at sea, safety and efficiency of navigation and protection of the marine environment. It is recommended that shipowners standing instructions to their masters specifically state that safety of the ship and crew, the prevention of pollution and prevention of damage to the marine environment must always take precedence over commercial considerations. e New Zealand Maritime Transport Act, Part, Section Duties of Master states that the master shall be responsible for the safe operation of the ship, safety of cargo and safety and wellbeing of crew/passengers on voyage. He/she shall have the final authority to control the ship while in command. Master s Responsibility, Duty and Professional Judgement. e voluntary code (summarised at paragraph below) does not replace the obligations of the master to use judgement and discretion in light of the many factors which contribute to a safe passage, including: (a) e condition and manoeuvrability of the ship; (b) e taking into account of relevant ship s routeing systems such as the IMO approved ships routeing measures; (c) e anticipation of known navigational hazards; (d) Ensuring sufficient sea room for the safe passage of the ship; (e) e prevailing and expected weather conditions; (f) Experience; and (g) e safety and security of the ship and crew. In law, and under the safety management system established by the shipowner, the master has final authority for, and is free to exercise their professional judgement in, matters of safe navigation and protection of the marine environment. Systems Testing. International Chamber of Shipping s Bridge Procedures Guide, Part A, Guidance to Masters and Navigating Officers, Section... states: Operational checks on navigational equipment should be undertaken when preparing for sea and prior to port entry. After lengthy ocean passages and before entering restricted coastal waters, it is important also to check that full engine and steering manoeuvrability is available. It is also recommended that navigators follow the Bridge Checklists B and B of the above guide. ANNUAL NZ NTM Reporting Arrangements and mmoning Assistance. It is recommended that shipowners standing instructions to their masters: (a) Emphasise the need for immediate reporting to Maritime New Zealand (MNZ), through any coastal radio station or by calling Taupo Maritime Radio, of all situations which affect the safety of the ship or its navigation, or might lead to pollution. (b) (c) (d) Confirm the master s position as set out in the International Maritime Organization s International Convention on lvage, Article (): e master shall have the authority to conclude contracts for salvage operations on behalf of the owner of the vessel. e master or the owner of the vessel shall have the authority to conclude such contracts on behalf of the owner of the property on board the vessel. Note that masters are required to comply with MNZ's Marine Protection Rules Part which requires ships carrying oil or other harmful liquid substances in bulk, to give at least hours notice of arrival to the harbourmaster in that port, and to give notification of the types of cargo carried and its distribution on board. Operational transfers must be notified at least hours but not more than days before starting. Encourage them to report vessels breaching the voluntary code to MNZ.

245 SHIPPING ROUTES AROUND THE NEW ZEALAND COAST A VOLUNTARY CODE FOR SHIPS CARRYING OIL OR OTHER HARMFUL LIQUID SUBSTANCES IN BULK mmary. is voluntary code has been introduced to prevent or reduce the risk of pollution or other damage to the marine environment caused by ships carrying oil or other harmful liquid substances in bulk. If there is an oil pollution incident, the measures contained in this voluntary code will also allow more time to respond to such an incident, whilst causing least disruption to existing shipping routes. e code stresses the importance of: fe navigation at paragraph above; e shipmaster s duty to exercise discretion in particular circumstances at paragraph above; Prompt reporting to Maritime New Zealand when experiencing any difficulties, which could lead to pollution or other damage to the marine environment, and summoning of salvage assistance without delay at paragraphs and above; Observing regional routeing schemes at paragraphs and below. Scope. is voluntary code applies to ships carrying oil or other harmful liquid substances in bulk as defined in Annexes I and II of MARPOL / (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution om Ships,). Its adoption by other vessels is welcomed. e Areas To Be Avoided at paragraphs and below apply to all vessels of the sizes specified. RECOMMENDED ROUTES AROUND THE NEW ZEALAND COAST General. Ships are to keep at least nautical miles off the land, any charted danger, or any outlying islands, until reaching a position where alteration is required to make port. Mariners travelling anticlockwise around New Zealand, ie with the North or South Islands on the port side, should consider keeping a further distance off, for example by. nautical miles in the vicinity of headlands such as North and East Capes to better manage potential shipping encounters. A greater distance off may be necessary in adverse on-shore weather, or if it is known that the ship has any mechanical deficiency that might impair the motive power or manoeuvrability. Note: All geographical positions are in terms of the WGS datum..

250 TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM Important Note: e contents of this notice are to be brought to the attention of all ships officers and crews. Background Tsunami is a series of waves resulting from undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or landslides and those originating in any part of the Pacific may have serious effects upon shipping in New Zealand s waters. e attention of mariners is drawn to the Tsunamis section, Chapter of the Admiralty publication e Mariner s Handbook (NP0). Should an earthquake be felt whilst a vessel is at her berth the vessel should immediately have her engines placed on standby, be secured for sea and only essential personnel given access to the gangways. A continuous listening watch should also be maintained on vessels radios, refer to Paragraph below. ese steps should be taken whilst awaiting further instructions. Tsunami Warning System ese procedures have been formalised with Maritime New Zealand, Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management (MCDEM), New Zealand Police, shipowners, port authorities, regional councils and harbourmasters. Inter-agency Communication. In the event of a potential threat of a tsunami approaching New Zealand, MCDEM will advise: (a) Each regional Civil Defence Emergency Management Group (CDEMG), and (b) e Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ). Note: For tsunami originating near New Zealand ( local source tsunami) timely advice by MCDEM may not be possible. e only warning may be an earthquake felt on board a vessel in the harbour. Each regional CDEMG via regional council and harbourmasters/port authorities will inform the mariner as quickly as possible. Port authorities would likely take their own precautions as per their Emergency Operating Procedures. RCCNZ via Maritime Radio will provide Coastal Navigational Warnings.

252 TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM Ordering Vessels to Sea. In certain cases it may be necessary for the harbourmaster to order vessels to sea to avoid serious damage being caused to ships and harbour structures by strong wave action in their harbours. Mariners are to advise harbourmasters whenever it is intended to carry out engine maintenance which will immobilise their vessels. It should be appreciated that the time available for action after receiving the alert signal may be as long as hours or as brief as minutes, depending on the origin of the tsunami. Instructions to Vessels at Sea Coastal Navigational Warnings. In the case of vessels at sea when a warning of an approaching tsunami is received, advice will be given by the existing navigational warning system. ese warnings may include instructions for ships immediate movements. It should be noted that the risk of tsunami for vessels at sea is much less (in most cases none) than inshore or in harbour. Request to all Vessels to Provide Assistance. Should a disaster occur ashore, all vessels in port or at sea in New Zealand waters may be called upon to provide assistance at the request of the authorities: (a) Providing temporary shelter and food for homeless civilians; (b) Providing rations, water, fuel, and power to local authorities; (c) Evacuating civilians to another port; (d) Providing radio communications; (e) Providing firefighting parties and first aid assistance ashore. Harbourmasters will coordinate with masters what assistance each ship in port is able to provide. Ships at sea will be contacted by the normal communications system.

253 NEW ZEALAND MARITIME BOUNDARIES Introduction. In accordance with international law as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of (UNCLOS), New Zealand legislation establishes, and regulates activities within, a territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the maritime area surrounding New Zealand. e principal legislation relating to these areas is the Territorial Sea, Contiguous Zone and Exclusive Economic Zone Act, the Continental Shelf Act, the Fisheries Act, and the Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf (Environmental Effects) Act 0. Other New Zealand legislation also has specific application in whole or in part to some of these maritime zones.. e territorial sea is the belt of sea adjacent to the coast out to a distance of nautical miles from prescribed baselines over which New Zealand, as the coastal state, has the same rights of sovereignty that it exercises over its land territory subject to the right of innocent passage (and transit passage through any straits used for international navigation) of ships of other states. Innocent passage excludes fishing activities.. e contiguous zone is a zone of nautical miles beyond the territorial sea in which New Zealand, as the coastal state, may take action to prevent or punish any infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations applicable within its land territory or territorial sea.. e exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a zone extending from the outer limits of the territorial sea to a distance of 00 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea in which New Zealand, as the coastal state, has sovereign rights over the living and non living resources of the sea and seabed and other states have certain freedoms, including the freedoms of navigation and overflight.. e continental shelf is the seabed and subsoil of the submarine areas that extend beyond the territorial sea of a coastal state throughout the natural prolongation of its land territory to the outer edge of the continental margin. In New Zealand s case the continental margin extends beyond the EEZ in many places and the outer limits have been established on the basis of the recommendations of the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. Under UNCLOS, New Zealand exercises sovereign rights over the continental shelf for the purpose of exploring it and exploiting its natural resources. e diagram at the end of this Notice depicts the boundaries of the above zones, including, where applicable, the delimitation of the boundaries of the EEZ and continental shelf with Australia under the treaty of July 00. e outer limits of the New Zealand Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) north of New Zealand are subject to the delimitation of boundaries with relevant countries. Baseline of the Territorial Sea and EEZ. e baseline from which the breadth of the New Zealand Territorial Sea and EEZ is measured is the low water line around the coast of New Zealand and off lying islands, and straight baselines across the natural entrance points of bays (not exceeding nautical miles), estuaries and inlets to join points on the low water line. Official Charts. e Territorial Sea, Contiguous Zone and Exclusive Economic Zone Act provides that for the purpose of the Act the line of low water for any area depicted on charts published under the authority of Land Information New Zealand shall be sufficient evidence of the low water mark. e outer limits of the New Zealand Territorial Sea and EEZ are indicated on the small scale chart series. e outer limits of the Territorial Sea are also indicated on the coastal chart series.

254 NEW ZEALAND MARITIME BOUNDARIES Policing the Zone. Aircraft of the Royal New Zealand Air Force and ships of the Royal New Zealand Navy are frequently engaged in surveillance activities in New Zealand s fisheries waters. e aircraft may illuminate or contact a vessel without notice. All commercial fishing vessels are required to set watch on HF SSB frequency khz or VHF channel when approached by a New Zealand Government ship or aircraft, and must reply when called. Note: Other vessels can also assist in surveillance work by reporting suspected infringements of the Territorial Sea and EEZ. Refer to paragraph below. Infringements Foreign Fishing Vessels. Infringements in the nautical mile Territorial Sea include: (a) Trawling by any vessel over metres; (b) Fishing by any foreign vessel; and (c) Fishing in closed areas. Note: Under certain conditions foreign vessels may be permitted to fish within the EEZ operating under a specific licence for a limited period. Domestic Fishing Vessels. Infringements in the nautical mile Territorial Sea include: (a) Trawling by any vessel over metres; (b) Fishing in closed areas and seasons; and (c) Fishing using restricted or illegal methods. Reporting spected Infringements. Reports of suspected infringements should be made to the Ministry for Primary Industries National Communications Centre, llington, without delay by telephone: 000 POACHER (000 ) or info@mpi.govt.nz. As much of the following information as possible should be given: (a) Date and time of sighting; (b) Position of sighting (latitude and longitude to nearest second if possible); (c) Method of position fix; (d) Description of vessel including type, name, callsign and any registration numbers; (e) Direction and speed of vessel; and (f) Activity observed (i.e. fishing, steaming, etc).

256 SUBMARINE CABLES AND PIPELINES Caution against Anchoring and Fishing in the Vicinity. Mariners are warned that every care should be taken to avoid anchoring or fishing in the vicinity of submarine cables or pipelines, even though there may be no specific prohibitions against doing so. Damaging an under-sea pipeline or cable would rate as a national disaster and very severe criminal penalties may apply. In addition the vessel which has fouled an underwater feature could be exposed to extreme explosion or electrocution risks. Symbols used on Charts. Cables, cable protected areas, pipelines and pipeline protected areas are shown on charts in magenta using the appropriate symbol. Mariners should note the Caution on charts which have these symbols.. bmarine cables are shown as wavy lines, submarine cable protected areas may be shown bounded by pecked lines or by dashed T-shaped lines interspersed with a short section of the wavy cable symbol.. bmarine pipelines are shown as a pecked line using a bulbous type symbol with an annotation such as gas, chem, oil. Disused pipelines will be shown with an interrupted pecked line. Legislation. e relevant legislation: (a) bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection Act ; (b) bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection Order 00 Amendment (Pohokura Gas Field Development) Order 0; (c) bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection (i Area Development) Order 00; (d) bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection (Kupe Gas Project) Order 00; (e) bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection (Maari Development) Order 00; (f) bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection Order 00; and (g) bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection Order 00 Amendment (Area- Cook Strait) Order 0..

In the event of fouling a submarine cable, the anchor and gear should be slipped and abandoned without attempting to cut the cable. High voltages are present in submarine cables other than power transmission cables and serious risk exists of loss of life or severe burns from electric shock if any attempt to cut the cable is made. No claim in respect of injury or damage sustained through such interference with a submarine cable will be entertained.. In the event of fouling a pipeline, the anchor or gear should be slipped and abandoned without attempting to get it clear. Any excessive force applied to the pipeline could result in a rupture; in the case of a gas pipeline the consequential release of gas at high pressure like an explosion could cause severe damage or loss of the vessel. ere would be an accompanying severe and immediate fire hazard. Claims as a Result of Loss of Gear. In order to afford greater protection to submarine cables and pipelines, and to avoid extensive repairs and disruption of communication or supplies, the attention of mariners, and particularly fishermen, is drawn to Section of the bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection Act. is section entitles the owner of a ship from which an anchor, net, or any fishing gear has been sacrificed (to avoid damaging a submarine cable or pipeline), to be indemnified for any loss by the owner of the cable or pipeline, provided cautionary measures have been taken beforehand. ANNUAL NZ NTM Authorities: Land Information New Zealand, Maritime New Zealand, Spark, Transpower ANNUAL NZ NOTICES TO MARINERS New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

257 SUBMARINE CABLES AND PIPELINES. To establish a claim to such indemnification, the following actions must be carried out: (a) A statement supported by the evidence of the crew, should, wherever possible, be drawn up immediately after the occurrence, and the master must, within hours after return to, or next putting into port, make a declaration to the proper authorities. e latter shall communicate the information to the consular authorities of the country to which the owner of the cable belongs. (b) (c) e declaration must give the full particulars of the occurrence and should be made to a Maritime fety Inspector. Vessels required to carry official log books should also enter details in the log. Defence against Prosecution. It is a defence to any prosecution under Section of the bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection Act to prove that the breakage or injury to a submarine cable or pipeline was caused by persons acting with the sole object of saving their life or their ships after having taken all the necessary precautions to avoid the damage.. It is also a defence under Section of this act if anchoring in any protected or restricted area was necessary for the purpose of saving life or a ship in distress. Protected Areas under the Act Greater Auckland Area. A number of international submarine cables come ashore in the Auckland area. ese cables supply International telecommunications for both New Zealand and Australia to the rest of the world. See following page for specific information on submarines cables and the cable protection areas. Cook Strait bmarine Cable Protection Zone (CPZ). e CPZ protects vital submarine electricity and telecommunication links between the North and South Islands. ere are severe restrictions on activities carried out within the CPZ under current legislation. (a) See information at the end of this Notice for specific information on the CPZ. (b) Mariners are advised to consult the publication Cook Strait bmarine Cable Protection Zone, which is downloadable from (c) Towage through the CPZ: Mariners engaged in towing through the CPZ must be aware of the depth of their towline. Towlines dragging across the exposed submarine cables are likely to cause damage and may result in the failure of a submarine cable. Other Protected Areas. Other areas given protection under the First Schedule of the bmarine Cables and Pipelines Protection Order 00 are cable and pipeline installations off Oaonui, Great Barrier Island (Aotea Island), Hauraki Gulf, Kawau Island, Taharoa, Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Hawke Bay and Maui A and Maui B.

260 AMMUNITION DUMPING IN THE WATERS AROUND NEW ZEALAND. Before the present regulations establishing five ammunition dumping areas in depths over 00 metres were brought into force in, it was the practice to dump ammunition in any suitable area off the New Zealand coast adjacent to the loading point providing the depth was greater than 00 metres.. Ammunition has been found inside the 00 metre depth contour line, especially in the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa ana area and in waters around the Hen and Chicken Islands ( S., E. approx). e area within cables of the shores of the Hen and Chicken Islands is potentially dangerous.. e areas referred to in paragraph above are defined as being within a radius of nautical miles of the following positions: (a) 0 S., 0 E. (b) S., 0 E. (c) S., 0 E. (d) S., 00 E. (e) 00 S., E.. A disused explosive dumping ground area exists in Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa ana between Tiritiri Matangi Island and e Noises in position S., E.. e areas are shown on the appropriate charts. Authority: Royal New Zealand Navy SEISMIC AND OTHER SURVEYS. Seismic and other surveys are occasionally undertaken off the New Zealand coast in connection with hydrocarbon exploration. It is seldom practical to publish details of the areas of operation except in general terms and vessels carrying out surveys may be encountered without warning. ree types of surveys are practiced: (a) Seismic reflection surveys is is by far the most common form of operation. e survey vessel tows one or more multichannel receiver cables up to km in length at a depth of a few metres, with the end marked by a tail buoy and radar reflector. e seismic energy source is usually an array of airguns mounted below large marker buoys and towed immediately behind the vessel. e cable and airgun arrays may have a lateral extent of a hundred metres or more. rvey speed is typically - knots. (b) (c) Seismic refraction surveys (i) Single vessel operation: e seismic vessel tows a conventional source array (e.g. airguns) away from a stationary sonobuoy. e buoy contains an amplifier and radio transmitter which transmits the received signals to a shipboard recorder. In the rare case of long range (0 0 nautical miles) experiments, explosive charges may be used. (ii) Two vessel operation: One vessel tows a conventional reflection acquisition system (generally a cable of. nautical miles in length) away from another vessel at a fixed location firing a source array. Electromagnetic surveys Another type of survey uses controlled source electromagnetic technology. e survey vessel deploys receiver stations along the survey lines, and then traverses the lines at approximately knots towing a cable several hundred metres long with a transmitter near the sea floor.. rvey vessels generally carry the signals described in Rules (a), (a) and (b) and (c) of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. (a) ey may also show the signals PO and IR (International Code): *IR (India Romeo) I am engaged in submarine work (underwater operations). Keep clear of me and go slow. * e use of this signal does not relieve any vessel from compliance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea,. PO (Papa Oscar) You should pass ahead of me (or vessel indicated). (b) e shooting vessel may display signal B (International Code) or at night a single red light in addition.

261 SEISMIC AND OTHER SURVEYS. rvey vessels are unable to manoeuvre freely and masters should therefore give them a wide berth of at least. km.. Refraction survey vessels occasionally keep radio silence if charges are fired by radio so as to avoid uncontrolled firings. Vessels being called by light by a survey vessel should therefore answer by the same means and not by radio or radiotelephone.. Further information can be found in Chapter of the Admiralty publication, e Mariner s Handbook (NP0). Authority: Maritime New Zealand OIL RIGS AND GAS PRODUCTION PLATFORMS Main Areas of Activity. Petroleum exploration rigs and gas and oil production platforms may be encountered off the New Zealand coast. At present, the main areas of activity are off the North Island s st Coast. is area is designated by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) as a Precautionary Area. Reference Charts: NZ (INT ), NZ (INT 0), NZ (INT ), NZ, NZ, NZ, NZ and NZ. Precautionary Area. All ships should navigate with particular caution in order to reduce the risk of a maritime casualty and the resulting marine pollution. e Precautionary Area is defined by a line connecting the following geographical positions, the landward extent of which is determined by Mean High Water Springs (MHWS): (a) e charted line of MHWS at approximately.00s.,.0e.

ANNUAL NZ NTM Navigational Hazards in Precautionary Area. e navigational hazards within the Precautionary Area comprise: (a) Maui gas/condensate field westward of Cape Egmont: two manned platforms, with a subsea pipeline to shore; (b) Pohokura gas field northward of Cape Egmont: unmanned production platform connected by subsea pipeline to onshore processing facilities; (c) (d) (e) Maari oil field south-westward of Cape Egmont: normally unmanned oil production platform and manned Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) serviced by offtake tankers; i oil field westward of Cape Egmont: subsea wells and manned FPSO serviced by offtake tankers; and Kupe gas/condensate field southwards of Cape Egmont: unmanned production platform with subsea pipeline to onshore processing facilities. Legislation/Regulations. Each surface installation is protected by a 00 metre radius fety Zone and a Protected Area for subsurface installations and pipelines. See Annual New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No., paragraph for relevant legislation. For FPSOs, the baseline for the 00 metre fety Zone is a circle described by the outer extent of movement around the mooring system (not including offtake tankers). Entry into these fety Zones is prohibited to all except authorised vessels. A fine of up to NZ$,000 may be imposed for navigating within the fety Zones. e following regulations apply: (a) Continental Shelf (Maui A fety Zone) Regulations ; (b) Continental Shelf (Maui B fety Zone) Regulations ; (c) Continental Shelf (Pohokura Platform B fety Zone) Regulations 00; (d) Continental Shelf (Kupe llhead Platform fety Zone) Regulations 00; Authorities : Maritime New Zealand, Land Information New Zealand 0 ANNUAL NZ NOTICES TO MARINERS New Zealand Nautical Almanac 0

Keeping a fe Margin of Distance. When navigating in the vicinity of production platforms and exploration rigs, an adequate safe margin of distance should be allowed. Where there is sufficient sea room, vessels should keep at least nautical miles clear of these installations. Due allowance should always be given to prevailing weather conditions and the possibility of engine, steering or other mechanical failure. Mariners should be mindful of regular FPSO offtake operations involving ships of up to,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) at the i and Maari oil fields. e combined length of an FPSO and offtake tanker is some 0m. ANCHORING AND FISHING IN THE VICINITY OF THE PERMANENT INSTALLATIONS IS PROHIBITED For more information, see New Zealand Notice to Mariners, No.. Importance of Keeping Charts Up-to-Date. e positions of the permanent oil and gas installations, submarine pipelines, together with the safety zones and prohibited anchoring and fishing areas, are shown on appropriate New Zealand charts. e positions of exploration rigs that change their location from time to time are promulgated in New Zealand Coastal Navigational Warnings and fortnightly editions of New Zealand Notices to Mariners. Mariners should ensure that their charts and navigational warning information is up-to-date at all times. Authorities: Maritime New Zealand, Land Information New Zealand A NON-INTERFERENCE ZONES AROUND PETROLEUM AND MINERAL EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES. e Chief Executive of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment can specify a non-interference zone around prospecting, exploration, or mining activities that are authorised under a permit granted under the Crown Minerals Act.. It is an offence to enter a non-interference zone without reasonable excuse. A fine of up to $,000 may be imposed for doing so. Enforcement officers can: (a) Arrest people entering, or attempting to enter, a zone; (b) Prevent ships or people entering a zone; (c) Stop and detain a ship in a zone; and (d) Remove ships or people from a zone.. e zone is specified by a notice published in a fortnightly edition of New Zealand Notices to Mariners.. A notice will specify: (a) e activity to which the non-interference zone relates; (b) e locality of the activity; (c) e area of the non-interference zone (which can be up to 00 metres from the outer edge of the structure or ship, or any attached equipment, to which the activities relates); and (d) e time period for which the notice takes effect.. e non-interference zone can be applied within the territorial sea or the exclusive economic zone, or on or above the continental shelf.. e relevant sections of the Crown Minerals Act are Sections A to C.. Under Section B() a person also commits an offence if the person intentionally damages or interferes with any structure or ship, or attached equipment, that is used in relation to offshore prospecting, exploration, or mining operations. A non-interference zone does not apply to this offence. An individual convicted of this offence is liable to imprisonment of up to months or a fine of up to $0,000; a company is liable for a fine of up to $0,000.

263 POSITIONS OF NAVIGATIONAL LIGHTS ON SHIPS OF THE ROYAL NEW ZEALAND NAVY Certain warships cannot comply fully with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization s International Regulations for the Prevention of Collision at Sea (IRPCS) (as adopted by Maritime New Zealand s Maritime Rules Part ) with regards to the number and positioning of lights. However, these warships comply as closely as possible in accordance with IRPCS Rules (c) and (e). Some vessels of 0 metres in length or over, due to their special construction, cannot be fitted with a second masthead light, or may have such lights placed in positions that differ from those normally associated with a ship of that size. Authority: Maritime New Zealand SATELLITE DERIVED POSITIONS Please also refer to: Chapter of the Admiralty publication e Mariner s Handbook (NP0). e Global Positioning System (GPS) is one of a number of Global Navigation tellite Systems (GNSS) that are either fully operational or are in the process of being developed. is notice is specific to the use of GPS. If another GNSS such as GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou is being used the user should seek advice as to the significance of the issues detailed below relative to that system. Status. e Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation is complete and available for civil use. GPS has a baseline constellation of satellites, but up to satellites may be operational at one time.. Mariners are advised to use GPS with the same caution they apply to other aids to navigation and to ensure that positions are checked by all available means. ANNUAL NZ NTM Derived Positions and Charts. GPS is referenced to the World Geodetic System (WGS ) datum. is datum relates positions on the Earth s surface, or in space, to a mathematically defined figure, in this case the WGS spheroid (often referred to as an ellipsoid), which is used to approximate, or to model, the complex shape of the Earth. Its origin is the Earth s centre of mass and it provides positional reference throughout the world. WGS is referred to as a global, geocentric geodetic datum. e current New Zealand Geodetic Datum 000 is an example of a geocentric datum that is closely aligned with WGS.. Some local or regional geodetic datums, such as the obsolete New Zealand Geodetic Datum, use different, non-geocentric, spheroids which provide close approximation to the shape of the Earth over a selected area but become progressively less accurate beyond that region. It is essential that the datum to which positions are referred is compatible with the datum used for the chart on which the position is to be plotted.. Charts referred to the WGS datum enable GPS positions derived in terms of WGS to be plotted directly. Note that the user must ensure that the GPS unit is set to display coordinates in terms of WGS.. Some Pacific Island charts are referred to a datum other than WGS datum. e SATELLITE DERIVED POSITIONS note provides latitude and longitude shift values which enable GPS-derived positions to be adjusted before plotting on the chart.. For some remaining Pacific Island charts the satellite derived position shift cannot be determined. st of these charts have a SATELLITE DERIVED POSITIONS note stating this. ese are charts for which insufficient details of the horizontal datum are known. It is important to note that in the worst cases, such as isolated oceanic islands or charts of great antiquity, chart latitude and longitude may be several kilometres different from those derived from GPS. Internal positional discrepancies in such charts are the result of horizontal control inconsistencies within, and between, sources of data used in their compilation. ese discrepancies MAY BE SIGNIFICANT TO NAVIGATION. Mariners are therefore advised to make greater use of classical methods of observational position fixing when close to the shore or navigating in the vicinity of dangers. e relative positions of features may be more reliable for navigation than the use of unadjusted satellite derived positions on a chart whose horizontal datum cannot be defined. Chart Scale. Positions plotted on, or extracted from a chart will contain an element of imprecision related to the scale of the chart. us, for example, at a scale of :00,000, a chart user who is capable of plotting to a precision of 0. millimetres must appreciate that this represents approximately 0 metres on the ground. However the same plotting precision on a chart at scale :,000 represents about metres on the ground.. us a datum shift of, say, metres would not be plottable at the smaller scale in the example (the chart could effectively be said to be on WGS ) but would be plottable (and therefore significant) at the larger scale. is explains why in cases where the datum is undefined and unlikely to be significantly different to WGS, some Pacific Island small and medium scale approach charts are referenced to the WGS, while the horizontal datum is undefined on the associated larger scale port plans.

When a Notice to Mariners is issued, the sender s ship or name is quoted as authority unless (as sometimes happens) the information is also received in a foreign Notice to Mariners. An explanation of the use of contributions from all parts of the world would be too greater task and a further communication should only be expected when the information is of outstanding value or has unusual features. INSTRUCTIONS:. Mariners are requested to notify the New Zealand Hydrographic Authority, Land Information New Zealand, Radio New Zealand House, e Terrace, PO Box 0, llington, New Zealand, when new or suspected dangers to navigation are discovered, changes observed in aids to navigation, or corrections to publications seem to be necessary. e Admiralty publication, e Mariner s Handbook (NP0), Chapter, gives general instructions.. is form and its instructions have been designed to help both the sender and the recipient. It should be used, or followed, closely, whenever appropriate. Copies of this form may be obtained gratis from the New Zealand Hydrographic Authority at the address above, or in PDF format directly from the LINZ website, Hydrographic Notes can also be sent from mobile devices using the Hydrographic Notes Application available for Android and Apple devices.. When a position is defined by sextant angles or bearings (true or magnetic being specified) more than two should be used in order to provide a check. Distances observed by radar should be quoted. However, when there is a series of fixes along a ship s course, only the method of fixing and the objects used need to be indicated. Latitude and longitude should only be used specifically to position the details when they have been fixed by astronomical observations or GPS and a full description of the method, equipment and datum used should be given.. Paper Charts: A cutting from the largest scale paper chart is the best medium for forwarding details, the alterations and additions being shown thereon in red. When requested, a new copy will be sent in replacement of a chart that has been used to forward information, or when extensive observations have involved defacement of the observer s chart. If it is preferred to show the amendments on a tracing of the largest scale chart (rather than the chart itself) these should be in red as above, but adequate detail from the chart must be traced in black ink to enable the amendments to be fitted correctly. Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs): A screen dump of the largest scale usage band ENC with the alterations and additions being shown thereon in red.. When soundings are obtained, e Mariner s Handbook (NP0) should be consulted. e echo sounding trace should be marked with times, depths, etc., and forwarded with the report. It is important to state whether the echo sounder is set to register depths below the surface, or below the keel; in the latter case the vessel s draught should be given. Time and date should be given in order that corrections for the height of the tide may be made where necessary. e make, name, and type of echo sounder set should also be given.. dern echo sounders frequently record greater depths than the set s nominal range, e.g. with a set whose maximum is 00 metres a trace appearing at 0 metres may in fact be 0 metres or even,00 metres. Erroneous deep soundings beyond the set s nominal range can usually be recognised by the following: (a) (b) (c) e trace being weaker than normal for the depth registered; e trace appearing to pass through the transmission line; or e feathery nature of the trace.. Reports which cannot be confirmed or are lacking in certain details should not be withheld. Shortcomings should be stressed and any firm expectation of being able to check the information on a succeeding voyage should be mentioned.. Reports of shoal soundings, uncharted dangers and navigational aids out of order should, at the mariner s discretion, also be made by radio to the nearest coast radio station. e draught of modern tankers is such that any uncharted depth under 0 metres or fathoms may be of sufficient importance to justify a radio message.
