Notices to Mariners
Notices to Mariners (NTMs) are an official notification issued to mariners providing advice on aids to navigation (AtoNs), safety issues, dangers or hazards to navigation within chartered waters of which authorities have knowledge.
Victorian Notices to Mariners are issued by waterway managers such as Parks Victoria who manages the local port waters of Port Phillip & Western Port.
Notices to Mariners are also issued by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and the Australian Hydrographic Service for Australian territorial waters (beyond 3NM).
All current Victorian Notices to Mariners can be viewed on the Victorian Regional Channels Authority website.
