Azerbaijan to update its Caspian Sea electronic maps

Azerbaijan will reissue nautical charts, update the electronic Caspian Sea maps for vessels sailing under the Azerbaijani flag and change the water areas of the country’s ports.

The decision was taken during a meeting of representatives from Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company and Baku International Sea Trade Port to update the electronic map of Azerbaijan's Caspian Sea water region.

The parties also discussed the specification of new trestle coordinates and their representation on new edition maps, the organization of a new anchorage in the water region of Sangachal village, and the maintenance and replacement of navigation equipment (buoys, sections, lighthouses and coastal signs).

As a result, the coordinates of the objects under construction will be indicated on the new sea maps. They also reviewed the issues of removing from the water the element of metal bases, overpasses, and other buildings whose service life has expired.
