GENERAL INFORMATION.—The 2001 Edition of Pub. <strong>151</strong>, Distances Between Ports, supersedes all previous editions. Distances in this table are in nautical miles based on the International Nautical Mile of approximately 6,076.1 feet. Nautical miles may be converted to statute miles of 5,280 feet by multiplying by 1.15. (See conversion table at back of book). The positions listed for Ports are central positions that most represent each port. The distances are between positions shown for each port and are generally over routes that afford the safest passage. Most of the distances represent the shortest navigable routes, but in some cases, longer routes, that take advantage of favorable currents, have been used. In other cases, increased distances result from routes selected to avoid ice or other dangers to navigation, or to follow required separation schemes. DESCRIPTION OF THE TABLES.—Departure Ports are listed alphabetically with distances to arrival Ports listed below them; distances to appropriate junction points are also listed. Junction Points are additionally located in the alphabetical sequence with distances to other appropriate Junction Points listed below. Great Lakes distances are given in U.S. Coast Pilot 6. JUNCTION POINTS.—It is impractical to give all distances for every possible combination of Ports in this volume; therefore, the use of Junction Points greatly increases the number of distances that may be included by affording a means of connecting routes in adjacent oceans. In this book a Junction Point is a position where many routes converge and through which ships pass when sailing from one major area into another. For example, the Junction Point for routes from the Atlantic into the Mediterranean is the Strait of Gibraltar. Junction Points used in this publication are shown on the chartlets in the front part of the book. ROUTES.—Routes throughout the world are described in the Sailing Directions along with route charts for the area of coverage. Articles on currents and meteorology are also covered in these publications. Additionally, charts are available, such as Pilot Charts and the NGA World Chart, Series 1145, which portray ocean routes worldwide. Any of these products may be used to assist the user in planning a voyage. A chartlet of basic ocean routes is included in the front of this publication for quick reference. HOW TO USE THE TABLES.—To obtain distances, find the departure port in the alphabetical listing and select the desired arrival port and distance listed below. In most cases, the distances from one port to another and return are reciprocal, but in some cases, the distances differ because different routes were used which PREFACE I take advantage of favorable currents or weather on one or both of the routes. To obtain a distance over a route that passes through one or more Junction Points, it is necessary to find and add distances for the two or more sections into which the route is divided. For example: New York to Colombo—Using the Junction Point chartlets at the front of the book, locate all Junction Points between New York and Colombo. There are two: Strait of Gibraltar and Port Said. Find New York in the Distance Table: Page 69 Under Junction Points, locate — Strait of Gibraltar............. 3,180 miles Find Strait of Gibraltar in the Distance Table: Page 108 Under Junction Points, locate — Port Said, Arab Republic of Egypt................................ 1,943 miles Find Port Said in the Distance Table: Page 85 Under Ports, locate — Colombo, Sri Lanka.......... 3,481 miles Total Nautical Miles........ 8,604 If the user wishes to know the westbound route because of enroute cargo commitments, or which route is shorter—proceed as follows: New York to Panama........... 2,016 Panama to Singapore........... 10,505 Singapore to Colombo.......... 1,581 Total Nautical Miles........... 14,102 CORRECTIVE INFORMATION.—Users are requested to forward new or corrective information useful in the correction of this publication to: MARITIME DIVISION ST D 44 NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY 4600 SANGAMORE ROAD BETHESDA, MARYLAND 20816-5003
