NAVAREA IX WARNINGS

Hydrographer of Pakistan (HoP) leads both HQ NAVAREA IX and National Coordinator setup for the purpose of transmission of navigational warnings. These warnings are issued in accordance with IMO resolution A.706(17) as amended to fulfill provisions of SOLAS Chapter V. It may be noted that these warnings are normally based on information provided/ received through various sources that may not be complete or reliable all the time; therefore mariners are requested to be vigilant and careful while taking decisions thereof.

Further, this website though regularly updated/ monitored, however availability of Navigational Warnings on the web does not relieve Masters/ Captains of the requirement to receive Navigational Warnings via IMO/ IHO approved broadcast systems.

Pakistan being NAVAREA IX coordinator maintains following broadcasts:

a. Safety net via LES BURUM (INMARSAT ‘C’)

b. Safety cast via IRIDIUM

Following enforced Navigational Warnings of NAVAREA IX are available on
