	NOAA 200th: Foundations: Nautical Charts
		A nautical chart depicts the nature and shape of the coast, water depths, and general topography of the ocean floor; locations of navigational danger; the rise and fall of tides; and locations of human-made aids to navigation.
		The nautical chart is one of the most fundamental tools available to mariners, who use charts to plan voyages and navigate ships using the shortest, safest, and most economical routes.
		Nautical charts are also snapshots of advancements made in surveying and mapping technology.

		Considerable support was expressed at the CMI Conference in Singapore in February 2001 for extending the period of the carrier's responsibility to cover inland carriage preceding or subsequent to nautical carriage from the time of receipt by the carrier to the time of delivery to the consignee and for a "network" system of liability.
		Following the Singapore Conference a draft of the Instrument was circulated for comment to all National Associations and a number of international organisations, including some which had not previously been members of the Round Table.
		The second reading of the Draft Instrument based on the text in WP 32 began at the twelfth session in October 2003 when it was decided that topics should be grouped into core issues and sub issues.

	NOAA 200th Visions: Nautical Charts, Beyond ENCs
		This added draft means millions of dollars of extra goods the ship can carry to the United States and a potential bonus for the Captain at the end of the year.
		The difference between the ship draft and the shallowest (minimum) water depth in the channel was sufficient for her to make it to port without the ship scraping the ocean floor.
		Coupling this technology with high-accuracy surveys of the ship's GPS antennas with respect to the keel, and nautical charts with the capability to display their depths (relative to the ellipsoid), will allow vessels to accurately determine where they are in relation to the seafloor.

	draft survey - pengukuran draft kapal (English to Indonesian translation glossary) coal mining,Mining & Minerals / Gems,
		Draft survey is a means of determining the weight of material loaded onto or discharged from a vessel by measuring the displacement of water (Archimedes Principle).
		As well, during the draft readings, several other key factors have to be taken into account and measured before the weight of the cargo loaded or discharged can be determined.
		The accuracy of a weight determined by draft survey depends upon sea conditions at the time of loading or discharge (pitch and swell) and the weight of the cargo loaded when compared to the total capacity of the vessel.

	Indonesia’s Draft Mining Law
		Industry representatives generally welcome the draft mining law as a step in the right direction but criticize it for insufficiently recognizing the high risk, capital intensive nature of mining and for failing to eliminate the uncertainty created by conflicting laws and regulations, for instance in the environmental area.
		On a positive note, Wilson observed that Article 39 in the draft was clearly targeted at preventing a recurrence of the problem arising from North Sulawesi Province’s attempt to tax overburden from the Newmont Minahasa Raya goldmine.
		The draft mining law still has a way to go as it must undergo State Secretariat and Parliamentary scrutiny and may be amended further.

	Stratton Report
		Nautical charting surveys must be expanded substantially if present and future needs for accurate and up-to-date charts are to be satisfied.
		The existing chart survey capability for nautical charting is so limited that contemporary survey projects must be concentrated largely on resurveys of critical areas which have undergone rapid manmade and natural changes.
		The civil nautical charting capability should be expanded within 15 years to a level which will sustain a basic resurvey cycle of 50 years with more frequent surveys in important areas of rapid change.
