NAMRIA Published ENC’s

Philippine Coast Pilot

Descriptive book for the use of mariners, containing detailed information of coastal waters, channels, weather pattern, facilities etc. of an area

Nautical Publications

Philippine Notices to Mariners

A monthly publication that supplements nautical charts and advises mariners on important matters such as new hydrographic discoveries, changes in channels, and navigational aids affecting navigational safety


Philippine List of LightsA listing of lights used

for navigational safety that are found throughout the Philippines. Included details are the location and condition of the lights



Tide and Current TablesContains information on

the predicted time and magnitude of high and low tides, time of slack water, and the predicted time and magnitude of maximum currents for certain locations in the country

Cooperation with Local Agencies and Organizations

Cooperates with international organizations to ensure the safety of navigation in Philippine waters and in South East Asia.

Cooperation with the IHO ensures that the nautical charts, ENCs, and other products of the Department follows the international standards.


Cooperation with Member States of EAHC ensures the safety of navigation within the East Asian region.

International Maritime Organization (IMO) issued a mandatory requirement for vessels to use the Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS) by 2012.

NAMRIA is working with the nine Member States of the East Asia Hydrographic Commission to harmonize the regions ENCs before 2012.

Harmonization of Electronic Navigational Chart

NAVAREAS - geographic areas in which governments are responsible for navigation and weather warnings

Philippines – part of in NAVAREA XI; Hydrography Dept. - NAVAREA Coordinator

NAVAREA warnings within the Philippine territory is sent to Japan, the coordinator of NAVAREA XI

Issuance of NAVAREA Warnings

NAMRIA strengthen its linkages with the stakeholders of the Philippine Maritime Industry to strengthen its capabilities to undertake its mandate for the maritime industry

Conducts seminars and trainings to enhance the capabilities of government agencies and organizations
