About NAVAREA II

NAVAREA II is one of the 21 ocean regions of the World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS), coordinated jointly by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). The designated area coordinator is the Service Hydrographique et Oceanographique de la Marine (SHOM, France), which issues and cancels the region’s navigational warnings. Helm.Warning collects these broadcasts through its ingestion pipeline and plots them on the live map.

Ingestion status: No automated feed — reviewed manual entry only

Helm.Warning is a convenience copy of these broadcasts, not an official source of Maritime Safety Information. Always verify against official channels (NAVTEX, Inmarsat SafetyNET) as required by SOLAS — see the about and disclaimer page for the full safety notice.

All NAVAREA regions

Situational awareness only. Not a substitute for GMDSS, NAVTEX or SafetyNET broadcasts. Official broadcasts and the Master’s judgment always take priority.
