Canadian Raster Charts to be Discontinued

Canadian Chart

by Lorena and Leonard Landon | Jul 28, 2021

Canadian Hydrographic Services just announced plans to discontinue all of its digital Raster Navigational Charts (RNC) offered in BSB format. The process will be in progressive phases. The first phase will include West Coast charts listed below; for a full list of charts affected in the first phase, see the Canadian government notice. The process will start with charts in the south and move north. CHS notes that discontinued raster chart areas have up-to-date Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs) available. Active subscriptions to discontinued Raster charts will be transferred to ENC charts. Paper charts produced from ENC charts will be made available.  


CHS is soliciting comments from mariners and users of charts regarding this planned action, comments are due by September 23, 2021. CHS notes that comments must include factual basis along with supporting information for safety, commerce, and public benefit. Comments should be directed to the following email address: chsinfo@dfo-mpo.gc.ca .
