Year: 2018 Language: english Author: Norwegian Hydrographic Service Genre: Guide Publisher: Norwegian Hydrographic Service Edition: 3rd Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 382 Description: The first sailing directions were published in 1791 and were at that time a description of each chart. In 1866, sailing directions were collected in one volume, «The Norwegian Pilot» and issued in eight booklets. Each booklet covered one part of the coast, and the firs «Idefjorden–Jomfruland» was issued in 1870–1871. In 1914 eight volumes were published but were then adapted to six volumes in 1955 when «Den norske los» were published regularly. Volume 7 covers the area «Svalbard and Jan Mayen» and was first published in 1988. In 1990 it was reprinted with reported changes and corrections. This book's revision is based on earlier editions and received reports. This edition, as previously, is a joint project between The Norwegian Polarinstitute (NP) and Norwegian Hydrographic Service (NHS). This English version has been largely translated by Roy Cooney who has previously translated publications for the NHS and UKHO. As large sea areas have not been sounded due to financial reasons, the description of the north easterly and easterly areas of Svalbard in particular are essentially based on experiences. Amendments to these areas in the book will be necessary when each new survey becomes available. The reader should take special note of the content expressed in some chapters. In the newest charts of Svalbard there are source diagrams which show the areas that are covered by modern surveys.
