Marine Navigation Our goal is to make this information easily accessible and readily available in internationally recognized navigation standards, such as S-100 Doing so will provide support to mariners throughout every step of a voyage
Nautical Charts - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA ENCs are vector data sets that support all types of marine navigation They hold all of the navigational information associated with traditional nautical charts, while also facilitating real-time ship positioning and helping with collision and grounding avoidance
About Marine Navigation For large vessels entering a port — when space is tight and time is critical — mariners anticipate ocean and weather conditions by using observations, forecasts, and underlying foundational data in addition to nautical charts
Real-Time Observations Information on where to find real-time observations for each of the primary marine weather and oceanographic variables is given below, along with detailed descriptions of the various observing networks and programs
Forecasts and Predictions - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Mariners rely on NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) marine weather forecasts, along with tidal predictions and forecast guidance from NOAA’s weather, wave, and ocean circulation forecast models, for safe and efficient marine navigation
Marine Navigation Warnings Marine Navigational Warnings are issued by the U S National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to provide information about persons in distress, or objects and events that pose an immediate hazard to navigation and safety of life at sea across the world
Marine Weather Warnings Marine Weather Warnings NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) issues marine weather watches, advisories, and warnings for hazardous winds and sea conditions
Nautical Publications The US Notice to Mariners (NM) provides timely marine safety information for the correction of all U S Government navigation charts and publications from a wide variety of sources, both foreign and domestic
Bathymetry - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration The Precision Marine Navigation (PMN) data processing and dissemination system ingests, processes, and disseminates NOAA's high-resolution bathymetry data formatted in the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-100 framework
S-100 Data Formats Like surface current forecasts, this standard addresses how relevant tidal and water level forecast data is displayed in ship board navigation systems without compromising the ability to navigate using an electronic chart
