and navigate so that the designated course is continuously

being made good.

Currents.— Current directions are the true directions toward

which currents set.

Distances.— Distances are expressed in nautical miles of 1

minute of latitude. Distances of less than 1 mile are expressed

in meters, or tenths of miles.

Geographic Names.— Geographic names are generally

those used by the nation having sovereignty. Names in paren-

theses following another name are alternate names that may

appear on some charts. In general, alternate names are quoted

only in the principal description of the place. Diacritical marks,

such as accents, cedillas, and circumﬂexes, which are related to

speciﬁc letters in certain foreign languages, are not used in the

interest of typographical simplicity.

Geographic names or their spellings do not necessarily re-

ﬂect recognition of the political status of an area by the United

States Government.

Heights.— Heights are referred to the plane of reference

used for that purpose on the charts and are expressed in meters.

Internet Links.— This publication provides Internet links to

web sites concerned with maritime navigational safety, includ-

ing but not limited to, Federal government sites, foreign

Hydrographic Ofﬁces, and foreign public/private port facilities.

NGA makes no claims, promises, or guarantees concerning the

accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the contents of these

web sites and expressly disclaims any liability for errors and

omissions in the contents of these web sites.

Lights and Fog Signals.— Lights and fog signals are not

described, and light sectors are not usually deﬁned. The Light

Lists should be consulted for complete information.

National Ocean Claims.— Information on national ocean

claims, which has been compiled from the best available

sources, is provided solely in the interest of the navigational

safety of shipping and in no way constitutes legal recognition

by the United States. These non-recognized claims and re-

quirements may include, but are not limited to:

1. A requirement by a state for advance permission or

notiﬁcation for innocent passage of warships in the territorial

sea.

2. Straight baseline, internal waters, or historic waters

claims.

3. The establishment of a security zone, where a state

claims to control activity beyond its territorial sea for secur-

ity reasons unrelated to that state’s police powers in its terri-

tory, including its territorial sea.

Radio Navigational Aids.— Radio navigational aids and

radio weather services are not described in detail. Publication

No. 117 Radio Navigational Aids and NOAA Publication,

Selected Worldwide Marine Weather Broadcasts, should be

consulted.

Explanatory Remarks

Sailing Directions are published by the National Geospatial-

Intelligence Agency (NGA) under the authority of Department

of Defense Directive 5105.40, dated 12 December 1988, and

pursuant to the authority contained in U. S. Code Title 10,

Sections 2791 and 2792 and Title 44, Section 1336. Sailing

Directions, covering the harbors, coasts, and waters of the

world, provide information that cannot be shown graphically

on nautical charts and is not readily available elsewhere.

Sailing Directions (Planning Guide) are intended to assist

mariners in planning ocean passages and to eliminate duplica-

tion by consolidating useful information about all the countries

adjacent to a particular ocean basin in one volume.

Planning Guide publications are compiled and structured in

the alphabetical order of countries contained within the region

covered by each publication.

Bearings.— Bearings are true, and are expressed in degrees

from 000˚ (north) to 360˚, measured clockwise. General

bearings are expressed by the initial letters of the points of the

compass (e.g. N, NNE, NE, etc.). Adjective and adverb end-

ings have been discarded. Wherever precise bearings are in-

tended, degrees are used.

Courses.— Courses are true, and are expressed in the same

manner as bearings. The directives “steer” and “make good” a

course mean, without exception, to proceed from a point of ori-

gin along a track having the identical meridional angle as the

designated course. Vessels following the directives must allow

for every inﬂuence tending to cause deviation from such track,
