Abstract

In the January 1977 issue of this Journal an article ‘The new buoyage system’ by the Hydrographer of the Navy was one of the many steps taken during the past two years to explain to chart users what IALA System A is all about. Newspapers, magazines, schools of navigation, yachting clubs and commercial printers have all helped to spread the gospel. There are on the market a variety of booklets, wall charts, plastic models, cassette teaching aids and films. The new symbols used to portray the details on the charts can be found in Navigation Publication NP735, available from Admiralty chart agents.
