NOAA's Nautical Discrepancy Report System

Updates to NOAA's Nautical Discrepancy Report System

NOAA makes it easier to submit a comment or report a nautical chart error.

On November 16, 2018, NOAA released ASSIST, https://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/customer-service/assist/ a new system for submitting questions and reporting nautical chart errors to NOAA's Office of Coast Survey.

ASSIST has a mobile-friendly design and improved user interface that allows customers to access the system conveniently from any device. This new tool replaces Coast Survey's Inquiry and Discrepancy Management System (IDMS), a database that collected nearly 20,000 comments,
inquiries, and discrepancy reports since 2008.

ASSIST offers new features including the ability to:  

  •  Tag your submission on a NOAA chart, map, or satellite imagery
  •  Enter reports from a cell phone or other mobile device
  • ·Comment or report an error using a single form
The new NOAA ASSIST web portal replaces the previous version and will be the only way NOAA accepts chart updates from the CG Auxiliary.
