🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between Sailing Directions (Enroute) and Sailing Directions (Planning Guide) • The primary purpose of Enroute volumes along a coast or route • What type of information is normally found in port publications like port guides or harbor facilities guides

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is this publication meant for detailed information inside a harbor, or for navigating along a coastline and approaches? • Which of these choices sounds more like specific port-by-port details, and which sounds more like features you’d need while traveling along the coast before you enter a port? • Think about which kinds of hazards or areas are usually shown clearly on charts already, and which require extra descriptive text in an enroute book.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether Enroute volumes focus on route/coastline description rather than detailed port infrastructure data. • Check which items are normally covered by separate port facility/harbor guides instead of Sailing Directions (Enroute). • Confirm that the information in Enroute books supports coastal passage planning and approach, not the fine details of inner harbor operations.
