# SPECIAL NOTICE - USE OF GPS FOR ELECTRONIC POSITION FIXING

In the Federal Register dated March 23, 1994 \[59 FR 13757-59\], the
U.S. Coast Guard announced that Global Positioning System (GPS)
receivers met the carriage requirements for electronic position fixing
devices as required in Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, Part
164.41(a)(2) \[33 CFR 164.41(a)(2)\]. Because of the number of inquiries
received regarding the use of GPS for position fixing, we are
readvertising this item of interest. Copies of the Federal Register
notice are available from the Coast Guard's Navigation Center: Internet
(http://www.navcen.uscg.mil/gps/ggeninfo/IOC-CAR.TXT); Bulletin Board
Service (703) 313-5910; Fax on Demand (703) 313-5931/5932; Boating

# SPECIAL NOTICE - TERMINATION OF TRANSIT NAVIGATION SYSTEM

In accordance with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Master
Navigation Plan, the Navy Navigation Satellite System (Transit) will
cease operations on December 31, 1996. Satellite navigation services are
now, and will continue to be available from the Global Positioning
System (GPS). Questions should be directed to the Naval Satellite
Operations Center (NAVSOC), in Point Mugu, CA, at (805) 989-4221.

Ref: LNM 50-96

# RIGHT WHALES WARNING

From December to March the coastal waters between Altamaha Sound,
Georgia, and Sebastian Inlet, Florida, are the only calving grounds for
the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. Right Whales are the rarest
whales in the world and are protected under law from disturbance or
injury by the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972. Right Whales, especially females and their
calves, frequently lie at the surface. This behavior makes them
vulnerable to collisions with ships, which are a significant source of
mortality.

Vessels operating within 15 miles of shore between 31²15'N and 30²15'N
and within five miles of shore from 30²15'N and 28²N should take
precautions to avoid collisions with Right Whales. Mariners should
maintain a distance of 500 meters from any whales sighted. If a Right
Whale is sighted, record the position, note direction of the whale's
travel and record the time. Whale sightings should be reported to Coast
Guard Group Mayport via VHF-FM radio or by calling the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources at 1-800-272-8363.

Ref: LNM 44 and 48-96

# DGPS USER SAFETY ADVISORY

The Coast Guard Navigation Information Service (NIS) recently received
reports of DGPS receivers apparently ignoring the broadcast alarm which
should signal the immediate discontinuation of a particular satellite
correction. In accordance with international and industry standards
\[RTCM SC104\], the USCG DGPS broadcast sets a satellite correction to
the defined "DO-NOT-USE" value of 10485.76 meters if broadcast integrity
checks indicate there is a problem with that satellite's correction.
Reports indicate some user equipment does not properly recognize this
"DO-NOT-USE" correction flag and instead erroneously processes it as a
correction. This can result in position errors as large as 15,000 meters
while the receiver is in DGPS mode. Users should contact the
manufacturer of their equipment immediately to determine if they require
a receiver upgrade.

For the current status of DGPS broadcast sites or additional information
contact the NIS watchstander at (703) 313-5900. The NIS computer
bulletin board may be accessed at (703) 313-5910 (300-14400 BPS),
communication parameters are 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

FLORIDA-DRAWBRIDGES: VHF-FM Channel Change.

Drawbridges in Florida have been encouraged by the Federal Communication
Commission to use VHF-FM channel 9 for communications with vessels
instead of VHF-FM channel 13. This is an attempt to reduce the
congestion of VHF-FM channel 13 which is intended for vessel to vessel
passing information. When using VHF-FM channel 9, all vessel operators
and bridgetenders are encouraged to switch to low power for hailing or
discussing bridge opening information; this will help minimize confusion
for boaters especially on waterways with a large number of drawbridges
located in close proximity.

No. 238, Tuesday, December 10, 1996, Pages 64996 - 64997.

Agency: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. Action: Final rule.

Summary: The Corps is amending the regulations which establish several
danger zones and restricted areas in the waters of the Cooper River and
its tributaries in the vicinity of Charleston, South Carolina by
establishing a new danger zone for a small arms range at the Naval

# SPECIAL WARNINGS

# SPECIAL WARNING NO. 1

Navigations warnings broadcast by DMAHTC are normally divided into
categories, HYDROLANTS and HYDROPACS, referring respectively to the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It has been determined that there now
exists a need for disseminating information of general interest not
covered by the above categories. Therefore, with this message the
Special Warning series is reintroduced. The messages will be transmitted
from all U.S. Navy and Coast Guard Stations broadcasting Hydros.

surrounding Cuba. Within distances extending in some cases upwards of 20
miles from the Cuban coast, vessels have been stopped and boarded by
Cuban authorities. Cuba vigorously enforces a 12-mile territorial sea
extending from straight baselines drawn from Cuban coastal points. The
effect is that Cuba's claimed territorial sea extends in many cases
beyond 12 miles from Cuba's physical coastline.

# SPECIAL WARNING 102. PAKISTAN

1\. Mariners calling on Pakistan are advised that levels of sectarian
and factional violence have increased. Karachi remains the center of
politically motivated killings.

2\. The February 1995 arrest of Ramze Ahmed Yousef for alleged
involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing may cause reprisals
by terrorist organizations against U.S. Businesses and citizens.

3\. On March 8, 1995, unknown assailants opened fire on an official U.S.
Consulate shuttle in Karachi, killing two American employees and
wounding a third.

4\. We know of no threats to other U.S. Citizens, U.S. Government
facilities, or U.S. Businesses in the rest of Pakistan, however, port
facilities and vessels may offer targets of opportunity for terrorist
attacks. U.S. Mariners are advised to exercise heightened security
awareness and prudent security precautions when in Pakistani ports and
waters.

# SPECIAL WARNING NUMBER 103. ALGERIA

1\. Due to domestic unrest and anti-foreign violence, U.S. Mariners are
advised to exercises extreme caution when in Algerian waters. Continuing
attacks against foreigners indicate that the level of risk in Algeria
remains high.

2\. Attacks against maritime vessels in Algerian ports have already
taken place over the past year, and we have received recent indications
that armed groups in Algeria may be planning further attacks against
maritime targets. The U.S. Embassy in Algiers specifically identifies
ports and airline terminals as terrorist targets. Commercial shipping
should remain on maximum alert when in Algerian waters and maintain
adequate security precautions.

3\. The Department of State continues to recommend that U.S. Citizens
avoid travel to Algeria and that Americans in Algeria whose
circumstances do not afford them effective protection depart the
country.

waters of the North Persian Gulf.

2\. Iranian-flag speedboats operating in Iranian and international
waters have seized passports and ship documents or cargoes for ransom,
occasionally hijacking the vessel as well.

3\. In recent incidents, boarding parties claiming to be Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps personnel used the pretext of conducting U.N.
embargo inspections or of carrying out official law enforcement to gain
access to ships.

4\. Mariners should exercise caution and vigilance when operating near
these areas, and should obtain and evaluate current warning information
broadcast by the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) via HYDORPAC broadcasts.

5\. Any anti-shipping activity should be reported to DMAHTCNAVWARN, the
U.S. State Department, or the nearest U.S. Consulate (See DMA Pub.

# SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS IRAQ EMBARGO

1\. Summary: The Naval intercept effort in support of the United Nations
sanctions against Iraq has ended in the Red Sea, Strait of Tiran, and
Strait of Hormuz. Intercept efforts supporting U.N. sanctions remain in
effect in the Persian Gulf. Cargo bound for Aqaba or transshipment from
Aqaba will be inspected on shore by a team from Lloyd's register, the
U.N. sanctions committee, and the Aqaba Port Authority. New United
Nations procedures supporting the implementation of UNSCR 986 will
govern the shipment of petroleum from the Mina Al-Bakr Oil Terminal in
Iraq. Vessels transiting the northern Persian Gulf, the Shatt Al Arab
waterway, or Khor Abd Allah waterway can expect to be queried and, if
bound for or departing Iraqi ports, intercepted and boarded by
multinational naval units enforcing U.N. sanctions. Documentation
requirements for the shore based officials in Aqaba and the Naval Forces
in the Persian Gulf are identical. Except for U.N. approved shipments of
UNSCR 986 oil exports from the Mina Al-Bakr Oil Terminal or U.N.
approved shipments of food, medical supplies, or humanitarian goods
bound for Iraq, no cargo addressed to/from Iraq is permitted to pass the
intercept area.

2\. United Nations Security Council Resolution 986 (1995): The
implementation of this resolution will not affect the mission of the
Multinational Forces operating under the authority of UNSCR 661 (1990).
Certain revised operating procedures are set forth in this notice to
account for the requirements of Resolution 986 and the anticipated
increase of shipping activity in the north Persian Gulf. Ships
transiting the enforcement area can expect delays due to the maritime
inspection. Alternate routes are advised, and humanitarian cargoes are
invited to utilize the Aqaba Port of Entry.

3\. The following requirements are in effect for all shipping transiting
the intercept operations area: A. Notification: Prior notification via
facsimile or letter to the Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command,
Maritime Intercept Forces (MIF) coordinator in Bahrain is required. The
MIF coordinator must receive notification at least seventy-two hours in
advance of vessel arrival at the interception area. The 24-hour
facsimile number of the MIF coordinator in Bahrain is 973-724-344. The
following information must be included with the advance notification:
(1) Vessel name (2) Vessel flag (3) International radio call sign (4)
Itinerary (5) Volume of cargo (6) Description of cargo (7) Number of
holds (8) Hold dimensions (9) Identification of vessel shipping agent
(10) Vessel owners (11) Estimated arrival (date/time) at interception
area B. Cargo configuration: All cargo must be accessible for an at-sea
inspection by intercept forces. Cargo carriers are responsible for
loading cargoes to help ensure accessibility. The following specific
guidance applies: (1) Containerized cargo: Cargo containers must not be
stacked more than three high from the deck. As a safety precaution to
protect inspection teams, containers stacked more than three high will
be considered inaccessible. This provision applies to both internal and
deck-loaded containers. (2) Break bulk: Packaged or bagged cargo must be
loaded in a manner to allow thorough inspection. Palletized rows of
cargo require adequate separation to allow for safe access. (3) Loose
bulk: Loose bulk cargo must be accessible for physical and visual
inspection, verification of measurement soundings, and sampling. Hatch
covers must be opened to allow for thorough inspection. C. Checkpoint:
Vessels bound for or departing from Iraqi Ports or the Mina Al-Bakr
Terminal must pass within a five nautical mile radius of latitude
twenty-nine degrees thirty-two minutes north and longitude forty-nine
degrees fourteen minutes east (29-32N 049-14E). Approaching vessels
should contact the MIF Commander on Bridge-to-Bridge Channel 16 when
within five nautical miles of this point. Vessels will not be permitted
to proceed from this point until cleared by the MIF Commander. Cargoes
for destinations other than Iraq will not by allowed passage into Iraq.
D. Vessel tonnage limit: Vessels under 30,000 DWT will not be authorized
to proceed to Mina Al-Bakr for the purpose of loading petroleum cargoes.
E. Documentation: Vessel documentation must conform to the following
requirements:

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS IRAQ EMBARGO (Cont.)

\(1\) An original manifest list, describing the cargo as well as its
location on the ship, must be on board. The original manifest must
include the port of origin, ports of call, complete business names and
addresses of all shippers and consignees, and a final destination of all
cargo. A complete business address must include either: (A) The street
address; or (B) a prominent identifiable geographic location; or © A
Post Office Box number plus a telephone number or facsimile number. (2)
Cargo addressed to a free trade zone must have the name, address, and
telephone or facsimile number of the consignee taking custody of the
container or cargo. (3) Consignee names and addresses on all cargo must
match the manifest. (4) The manifest must be signed in the original by
the Master or Chief Mate of the vessel. The manifest may be on shipper's
letterhead, facsimile, photocopy, or computer printout, but must bear an
original signature, contain all the information listed above and must
otherwise be in compliance with normal maritime transport practice. (5)
The original manifest may consist of more than one document through
amendments that list cargo dropped off at a given port or that correct
the original manifest. These amendments may originate from the shipper
or carrier. Since additional documents may be transmitted to a vessel by
such means as telegram or facsimile, they need not bear an original
signature. However, the master is required to certify in writing that
the amended manifest accurately reflects what is on board the vessel.
The underlying requirement necessitates accurate delineation of cargo
and destination and a high degree of confidence that the documents are
authentic. (6) If applicable, the cargo documentation must include a
copy of the authorization issued by the United Nations pursuant to
Resolution 986 (1995).

## 4. Vessel pre-clearance:

A. Oil tankers inbound to the Mina Al-Bakr Terminal pursuant to an
authorization issued by the United Nations under Resolution 986 (1995)
will normally be authorized uninterrupted passage through the
checkpoint. Advance notification and vessel check-in are still required.

B. Vessels transporting bulk humanitarian cargoes are invited to contact
the MIF Coordinator prior to sailing to explore pre- clearance options
using voyage monitoring methods and cargo loading certification from
approved agents. At the discretion of the MIF Coordinator, certain
pre-clearance procedures may be approved on a case-by-case basis.

C. Notwithstanding the pre-clearance options discussed above, the
Multinational Naval Forces retain the right under UNSCR 665 (1990) to
conduct document checks and at-sea inspections of any vessel when deemed
necessary.

5\. Incomplete documentation: Vessels which are determined to have
incomplete cargo manifests or are otherwise not in accordance with the
documentary requirements contained in this advisory may be directed to
return to the last port of call indicated on the manifest.

6\. Petroleum exports and bunker fuel not approved by the United
Nations: Outbound vessels are subject to search by the MIF. If an
intercepted vessel is suspected to be carrying a cargo of Iraqi
petroleum or has taken on Iraqi bunker fuel without United Nations
authorization, the MIF will take cargo and bunker samples for laboratory
analysis, examination, and comparison with Iraqi control samples. If the
MIF Commander determines that a petroleum cargo is of Iraqi origin the
vessel will be diverted. If bunker samples from an intercepted vessel
are found to match crude oil from Iraq, the vessel, at the discretion of
the MIF Commander, may be diverted or refused future entry through the
enforcement area.

7\. Cruise ships: Cruise ships transiting the MIF enforcement area will
be subject to the following requirements:

A. Cruise ships with no commercial cargo carrying capacity may arrange
for an expeditious transit of the interception area by sending
certification from a member of the International Association of
Classification Societies (IACS) stating that the ship does not have
commercial cargo carrying capacity. The certification must be sent via
letter or facsimile to the MIF Coordinator at least sixty days prior to
transit.

B. A cruise ship arriving in the enforcement area with an unknown status
and considered to be capable of carrying commercial cargo will be
boarded and inspected during daylight hours. If it is determined that
the vessel has no commercial cargo carrying capacity, the vessel will be
visually identified during subsequent transits and not boarded.

8\. For merchant advisory updates, vessels can contact Commander, U.S.
Naval Forces Central Command Maritime Interception Coordinator via
facsimile at 973-724-344 or telephone 973-724-839 or 973-724-627.

9\. CANCEL NAVAREA IV 902/96 AND 903/96.
