Central News Agency, Taipei, June 1. The Maritime and Port Bureau (MPB) of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications announced today that the Aids to Navigation Management System is now online, providing real-time navigation safety information to vessels, maritime operators, and the public. The MPB stated that it has actively promoted the construction of this system, integrating public electronic chart information from the Ministry of the Interior's Chart Center, notices to mariners, and other navigational data. Aids to navigation, including lighthouses, light buoys, and other facilities, are critical for vessel positioning and safety. Previously, information was scattered, making it difficult for users to access the latest updates. With the new system, users can query navigation aid locations and notices, and subscribe to safety alerts. Additionally, the system includes an 'abnormal report' function, allowing users to report damaged or malfunctioning navigation aids with photos and coordinates.
