Safety of Navigation
The Hydrographic Institute provides a service to the navigators called ANAVNET.
This service publishes the publication “Warnings to Navigants – Monthly Group” containing all the information needed to keep the nautical letters and publications up to date as well as the publication “Warnings to Navigants – Annual Group” that complements much of the information in the nautical letters.
It also provides access to NAVTEX-broadcast navigational warnings (NAVWARNs), local NAVWARNs issued by maritime or port authorities, and weather bulletins from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere
