    This document provides an instructor's guide for a passage planning course on Category Zones of Confidence (CatZOC). The guide defines CatZOC as values assigned by cartographers to indicate the accuracy of depth and positional data on nautical charts. It lists the types of CatZOC values from A1 (most accurate) to D or U (least accurate). The guide includes examples of calculating corrected depths using given CatZOC values and survey accuracy specifications. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the proper CatZOC value for voyage planning and calculating under keel clearance to safely navigate areas.

    INSTRUCTOR’S

    GUIDE
    Course : Passage Planning
    Topic : CatZOC (Category of Zone of Confidence)
    ILOs : At the end of the session, the participants should be able to:

    1.identify the importance of CatZOC for safe navigation;


    2.solve correct CatZOC data for UKC calculation; and
    3.formulate CatZOC correction to incorporate to the voyage plan as
    required by vetting (Rightship) inspections.
    CATZOC

    Cartographers use Category Zone of Confidence (CATZOC) values to highlight the


    accuracy of data presented on charts. By understanding the accuracy of the
    underlying data in greater detail, the mariner can then manage the level of risk when
    navigating in a particular area.
    CATZOC values are assigned to geographical areas to indicate whether data
    meets a minimum set of criteria for position, depth accuracy and seafloor coverage.
    The Zone of Confidence (ZOC) value is dependent on the positional and depth
    accuracy of the survey.
    ECDIS display these CATZOC values in ENCs using a triangular or lozenge
    shaped symbol pattern. The number of stars contained within these symbols denotes
    the CATZOC value. 
    TYPES OF CATZOC AND ITS
    CHART COVERAGE
    1. A1 - Full area search undertaken. Significant seafloor features detected and
    depths measured.
    2. A2 - Full area search undertaken. Significant seafloor features detected and
    depths measured.
    3. B - Full area search not achieved; uncharted features hazardous surface.
    4. C - Full area search not achieved, depth anomalies may be expected.
    5. D - Full area search not achieved, large depth anomalies may be expected.
    6. U - Unassessed – The quality of the depth data has yet to be assessed.
