They are distributed to affected Jeppesen users (shipping companies, OEMs, and other data users) and to registered marine customers receiving data products directly from Jeppesen. Alerts are not distributed by Jeppesen to individual non-registered mariners, but are available to them on the Jeppesen Web site, www.jeppesen.com/marinealerts/. Different plotters and computer systems use and display Jeppesen data differently. Users should consult with their database update service provider for definitive information on whether their system is affected by this Alert. This omission has been corrected in the new edition of the C-MAP Max chart library, due for release on October 2008 Customers are urged to periodically check this website. If further anomalies are foundcustomers will be advised via follow on alerts posted to this website. JEPPESEN STRONGLY URGES AFFECTED C-MAP MAX CUSTOMERS TO UPDATE THEIR CHART LIBRARY TO THE LATEST VERSION IF PLANNING TO NAVIGATE IN OR CLOSE TO THIS AREA OF NORTH EAST AUSTRALIA!”

Users should consult with their database update service provider for definitive information on whether their system is affected by this Alert. Additional Information Jeppesen Marine reminds navigators that nautical chart information is constantly changing. National Hydrographic Authorities periodically publish new and updated information. As it is received, Jeppesen Marine incorporates the updated information into new and existing products. These changes are available to our customers for purchase. Therefore, navigators should check their Jeppesen Marine charting products to make sure that they have the most current version available. If your charts are outdated, Jeppesen Marine strongly urges you to update them via Jeppesen Marine directly, or through authorized resellers. Jeppesen electronic charts are an aid to navigation designed to supplement the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only up-to date official government charts and Notices to Mariners contain all the information needed for safe navigation.
