CD information service                 

Last Updated 06/01/2009

Navigational information that in the past was printed and mailed by government agencies is no longer available that way. Instead, it is posted to web sites, and mariners are encouraged to download what they need.  Many vessels, however, do not have a reliable Internet connection, although they do have personal computers on board.  For these vessels, Pilothouse is offering a CD subscription service.


THE SERVICE.  Every week we download information from public maritime web sites, write it onto disk, and mail the disks to our subscribers.

CONTENTS.  Each disk contains:

  •  Local Notices to Mariners from all  Coast Guard districts: 1 Boston, 5 Norfolk, 7 Miami,  8 New Orleans, 9 Cleveland, 11, Alameda, 13 Seattle ,14 Honolulu, and 17 Anchorage.
  • NTM Notices to Mariners, world-wide, issued jointly by NGA (formerly known as DMA), the U.S. Coast Guard, and National Ocean Service.
  • Canadian Notices to Mariners issued monthly by the Canadian Coast Guard.
  • NVICs (Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circulars) issued from time to time by the U.S. Coast Guard.
  • NOS and CHS Dates of Latest Editions, monthly.

BACKUP.  Each downloaded file is included in two consecutive weekly mailings.  Thus, if a disk is lost or damaged in the mail, help is only a week away.

USAGE.  The user may simply read the files on his monitor screen, or may choose to print out all or selected parts on his printer.  All of the information is in the public domain, and can be reproduced and transmitted freely, with no copyright restrictions.

PRICE.  A single-vessel subscription is $75.00 per quarter (postage included).

DISCOUNTS.  Multiple subscriptions on a single consolidated fleet bill are discounted ten percent.

BILLING.  Subscriptions are billed each quarter, in advance.  Subscriptions beginning during the quarter are pro-rated.
