2021-21. * New Chart (NC): 62 “Entrance to Hyttevågen”

New Chart 62 “Entrance to Hyttevågen” is a nautical chart covering a central part of Ølve (Norway). The chart shows depths and navigational aids in Storeholsund, as well as approaches to the berths at Dalsjøen, Korshamn, Vesleholsund, and Nyhamar / Palfinger Marine.

Please note that the age and quality of most of the hydrographic source information used to compile this first edition of chart 62 is not satisfactory by modern survey standards. Official Norwegian paper charts are also not satisfactory within the area of this chart due to their small scale. Mariners should consider using Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) NO4F1011 “Kvinnheradsfjorden” in addition to this chart, particularly on deep-draft vessels.

2014-23. * New Chart (NC): 61 “Ølveskysten fra Sponavika til Støaneset med Hyttevågen”

New Chart 61 “Coast of Ølve from Sponavika to Støaneset with Hyttevågen” is a nautical chart for navigational purposes along Ølve (municipiality of Kvinnherad, Hordaland, Norway). Its larger scale and more manageable format when compared to the official Norwegian nautical chart NO 22 also helps to support navigation in small craft in the bays and fjords of Ølve.

The design of chart 61 is akin to older Norwegian charts. It has been produced with Norwegian Datum of 1948 (NGO48) and is referred to the Oslo prime meridian. The difference to WGS84 is explained in a note on the chart. Its contents have been corrected through Efs through July 2014.

Datum: NGO 1948
Small corrections: 3 August 2014

Chart 61 is in Norwegian language.

2014-7. * End of updates for certain charts and publications

Corrections to the following charts and publications will no longer be promulgated through NM. Pub. 3T is updated accordingly.

  • 31 SKGB, Belegungsplan der Steganlage
  • 731 (new: 31R) SKGB, Gekaufte Boxen
  • 50T Trail Map of Central Ølve

Remark: The intention is to have Arne’s Notices to Mariners focus on navigational charts. Other updates may or may not be included as appropriate.

2014-5. * Karte 12T: Kartennummer

Ändere die Nummer der Karte 12T „Tiefenverhältnisse am Südufer der Brucher Talsperre“ auf 12B.

Hinweis: Das Suffix T designiert eine vorläufige Ausgabe („tractandum“). Nach wie vor ist eine Navigationskarte 12 geplant; diese soll jedoch nicht wie ursprünglich vorgesehen die Karte 12T ersetzen, sondern diese ergänzen. Für die Existenz beider Karten parallel ist daher das Suffix T nicht mehr angemessen; statt dessen verwenden wir das neue Suffix B, das die bathymetrische Ausgabe einer Karte kennzeichnet.
