Charts and other nautical publications to plan and display
the vessel's route for the intended voyage and to plot and monitor
positions throughout the voyage should be carried. The charts must
be of such a scale and contain sufficient detail to show clearly all
relevant navigational marks, known navigational hazards and, where
appropriate, information concerning ship's routeing and ship reporting
schemes. Nautical publications may be contained within a consolidated
publication. However, vessels operating in Area Category 6 need not
carry publications. An electronic chart plotting system, complying
with the requirements detailed in Marine Guidance Note MGN 262, may
be accepted as meeting the chart carriage requirements of this sub-paragraph.
