Canadian Tide and Current Tables – Chart 1 – printing to be discontinued

The Canadian Hydrographic Service has just announced printing to be discontinued for the Canadian Tide and Current Tables and Chart #1 in the September monthly edition of the Notices to Mariners referring mariners to the pdf versions available online.

This decision is related to the transformation plan being put forward at CHS to better meet digital product needs.
