Coast Guard Light Lists - Change In Distribution Method
Coast Guard Light Lists are a means for communicating aids to navigation information to the maritime public. Based on proven technology and the ability to update Light Lists weekly, the annual production of hardcopy Light Lists has become obsolete. Effective immediately, the Coast Guard will no longer print hardcopy Light Lists. The last Government printed Light Lists were the 2014 editions.
Technology now allows the Coast Guard to provide the Light List in a timelier and less costly manner via the Internet. Electronic Light Lists are available on the Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN) website. Complete versions of the Light Lists are updated weekly on the NAVCEN website.
Mariners should download applicable copies and updates as needed. Local Notices to Mariners will continue to advertise Light List corrections and NAVCEN will continue to publish a compilation of corrections.
