INT 1

The INT 1 (also written INT-1 ), as the abbreviation for "International Nautical Chart No. 1", is the list of all symbols and abbreviations used in the international nautical charts. It is published by the " International Hydrographic Organization (IHO)".

history

The INT-1 is based on the IHO “Chart Specifications” and was put into effect in 1982 at the 12th International Hydrographic Conference in Monaco. At that time it was about official nautical charts on paper. The aim was to achieve a uniform map image with identical symbols and cross-lingual designations in all countries. To this end, it has been supplemented and improved several times. Today it is a widespread reference work for every card user, from the pleasure boat skipper to the captain.

The INT-1 is part of the publication S-4 (Regulations for International Charts and Chart Specifications) and is related to the INT-2 (graticule and scales) and the INT-3 (use of abbreviations and symbols).
