What are Temporary Notices To Mariners (TNTM)?

TNTMs are issued by the Department of Transport (DoT) to advise mariners of events, works, activities and operations that may affect navigational safety in WA state coastal waters and DoT Ports. For example:
  • Marine works including construction, dredging and geotechnical surveys, or any other activities and operations that may hinder the safe navigation of vessels through a particular area
  • Installation, alteration, relocation or removal of navigation aids
  • Installation, relocation or removal of monitoring stations
  • Aquatic events such as regattas and fireworks displays where boating is restricted
  • Temporary Closure of Waters to Navigation
  • Navigational hazards including sub surface obstructions, shallowing and spoil ground

Before undertaking any boating activities, mariners are advised to check appropriate TNTMs, chart corrections and current weather information. Only current TNTMs issued by DoT are listed below. Any TNTM that has been cancelled, withdrawn or expired will be removed.

TNTMs issued by DoT are:

  • also published in the Public Notices section of The West Australian and the EGN "Early General News" of regional newspapers.
  • also promulgated as Adobe PDF documents via email to nominated private, commercial, State and Federal authorities including WA Water Police (Fremantle), the Australian Hydrographic Office, Boating WA and Yachting WA. Should you wish to receive DoT issued TNTMs for a particular region please contact: marine.safety@transport.wa.gov.au

TNTMs issued by other agencies are not listed on this webpage. For additional Notices to Mariners and Navigational Warnings issued by other agencies, please refer to the following links:

The TNTMs below are in Adobe PDF format and can be viewed with Adobe Reader.

Notices to mariners - chart corrections

Notices to Mariners - chart corrections are produced to accompany DoT nautical charts. They are a means of keeping charts up-to-date with information of a safety or navigational nature.
