NOTES:
CELL ACCURACY:
Owing to the age and quality of the source information, some details on this cell may not be positioned accurately. Particular caution is advised when navigating in the vicinity of dangers, even when using an electronic positioning system such as GPS.

AUTHORITIES:
Hydrography from Japanese, U.S. Navy and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency surveys, and UKHO Miscellaneous sources.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION:
Consult NGA List of Lights Pub. 111 for supplemental information concerning aids to navigation.

CAUTION - FISH AGGREGATION DEVICES:
Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs), anchored or drifting, are commonly deployed within the waters of many Pacific Islands and may not be charted. Even though many of the installations are temporary in nature, FADs pose significant risk to navigation safety. Prudent mariners should exercise caution in navigating these waters.

CAUTION - SUBMARINE PIPELINES and CABLES:
Additional uncharted submarine pipelines and submarine cables may exist within the area of this chart. Not all submarine pipelines and submarine cables are required to be buried, and those that were originally buried may have become exposed. Mariners should use extreme caution when operating vessels in depths of water comparable to their draft in areas where pipelines and cables may exist, and when anchoring, dragging, or trawling. Covered wells may be marked by lighted or unlighted buoys.

PIRACY WARNINGS:
Piracy warnings originated by the Piracy Countermeasures Center at Kuala Lumpur will be broadcast daily to NAVAREA XI, VIII, and X through Enhanced Group Calling using the SafetyNET System. For further details, see National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Pub. 120, Sailing Directions - Planning Guide.

WARNING - PRUDENT MARINER:
The prudent mariner will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation, particularly on floating aids.

TIDAL INFORMATION:
Refer to Admiralty Total Tides Program for the latest information.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Consult National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Pub. 126, Sailing Directions, for important supplemental information.
