A vessel operating in the Eastern Pacific or along the West coast of North and Central America from Alaska to Ecuador, including Panama and Hawaii, would be operating in which NAVAREA?
• NAVAREAs and their purpose in Maritime Safety Information (MSI) broadcasts • Geographic limits of the Eastern Pacific NAVAREAs near the U.S. West Coast and Hawaii • How NAVAREA numbers are arranged around the globe (Atlantic vs Pacific vs Indian)
• Which NAVAREA covers the eastern North Pacific, including the U.S. West Coast and Alaska? • Which NAVAREAs are known to cover the western Pacific and central Pacific, and can any of those logically include the U.S. West Coast? • Look at where NAVAREA IV is located on the globe; is it more associated with the Atlantic or the Pacific?
• Verify which NAVAREA is designated for U.S. West Coast / Alaska / Hawaii Maritime Safety Information broadcasts • Confirm whether NAVAREA IV is on the Atlantic side of the Americas or the Pacific side • Eliminate any NAVAREA option that is clearly associated with the western Pacific/Asia region rather than the eastern Pacific
