About this warning

NAVAREA II 386/26 is a navigational warning for NAVAREA II (East Atlantic), broadcast by the Service Hydrographique et Oceanographique de la Marine (SHOM, France) under the World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS). Helm.Warning aggregates these broadcasts daily and plots warnings with resolved geometry on the live map.

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.

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