LIGHT LISTS

Light Lists are available on the USCG Navigation Center’s website at: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/light-list-annual-publication

Coast Guard Light Lists are a means for communicating aids to navigation information to the maritime public. The last government printed Light Lists were the 2020 editions. While the Light Lists will no longer be available in government printed form, commercial reproductions may be available for purchase from maritime service providers. Local Notice to Mariners will continue to advise Light List corrections and NAVCEN will continue to publish a compilation of corrections.

Complete versions of the 2020 Light Lists are updated weekly on the NAVCEN website and mariners should download applicable copies and updates as needed at: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/weekly-light-lists

A summary of 2024 Light List corrections are available at: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/light-list-summary-of-corrections

LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS

All Harbor Safety Committee members are encouraged to subscribe to the “Local Notice to Mariners” email list sent out by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Local Notice to Mariners are issued by each U.S. Coast Guard District to disseminate important information affecting navigational safety within that District. This Notice reports changes and deficiencies in aids to navigation maintained by the Coast Guard, as well as other marine information such as: new charts, channel depths, naval operations, and regattas.

Since temporary information of short duration is not included in the weekly Notice to Mariners, the Local Notice to Mariners may be the only source of such information.

To receive weekly emails regarding the USCG Local Notices to Mariners and other critical maritime information (free of charge) please sign up here: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/subscribe-email-rss-feeds

Note: vessels operating in ports and waterways in several districts must obtain Local Notice to Mariners from each district.
