But there will be always some special cases, which have to evaluate case-by-case. MSI-coordinator is working in Hydrographic Office as a team manager of chart updatings, which supports synchronization between MSI, NtM and ER. Development idea In these cases, we could leave warning in web list as long case is valid, but stop broadcasting it soon after it is issued in NtM. All valid warnings have to be in system, when producing S-124 product. 19.4.2018
