Addressing Confusion in Sea Area Names for Safer Navigation

Different names for the same sea area in various products worldwide create confusion for mariners, leading to potential accidents. While prevalent in the Baltic Sea, the issue extends globally affecting navigational warnings, charts, publications, and more. The outdated IHO publication S-23 and lack of regional hydrographic commission intervention contribute to this problem. To tackle this, the BSICCWG proposes creating a correspondence group with BSHC to establish common names, which will be addressed to IHB for further action.

  1. What`s the problem? Different names are currently used for the same sea area in products from different nations. This is not only confusing to the mariner but can also be a cause for accidents! The problem exists in the Baltic Sea area but is far more evident in other parts of the world.

  2. Where are the names? • In Navigational and Meteorological Warnings and Weather forecasts. • Names of sea areas in charts • As name of Charts in addition to chart number • Geographical areas in Nautical Publications such as NtM, Pilot Books, List of Lights, List of Radio Signals, Chart Catalogues etc.

  3. Why is it like this? • The IHO publication S-23 is out of date and not usable. • The problem has probably not been addressed to the Regional Hydrographic Commissions
