| Mariners can now get free electronic downloads of NOAA Raster Navigational Charts or RNCs. A raster chart is a digitally scanned image of a paper nautical chart used by mariners for navigation. "The raster navigational charts contribute to safe, efficient and environmentally sound marine transportation," said Charles Challstrom, acting assistant administrator for NOAA's oceans and coasts. "By providing these charts for free, NOAA offers easy access to mariners to make navigation safer in U.S. waters." |
