USCG Exam PracticeApplying tide corrections to charted depth
For a vessel subject to 33 CFR §164.33, what does the term 'currently corrected' mean as applied to charts and publications?
- A. Corrected within the past calendar year by any available source
- ✓ Corrected with changes in all NGA Notices to Mariners reasonably available to the vessel and applicable to the transitCorrect
- C. Corrected to the edition date printed on the chart or publication
- D. Corrected using the most recent U.S. Coast Pilot for the region
Why B is correct
33 CFR §164.33(c) defines 'currently corrected' as corrected with changes contained in all Notices to Mariners published by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or an equivalent foreign government publication, reasonably available to the vessel and applicable to the vessel's transit. A chart's print date alone does not satisfy this definition.
