Learn about the new NOAA Custom Charts (NCC's)

What is the NOAA Custom Chart application?

• NOAA Custom Chart (NCC) is an online application that enables users to create their own customized nautical charts directly from the latest official NOAA electronic navigational chart (NOAA ENC®) data.
• Depths can be displayed in meters, feet, or fathoms and there are a few other display options, such as changing the depth at which a shallow water blue tint is applied and the depiction of a "safety contour" based on a vessel's draft.
• NOAA custom charts do not have numbers and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Local Notice to Mariners (LNM) are not issued for NCC charts. 
• NCC outputs Portable Document Format (PDF) files using the paper size, scale, and location selected by the user.
