Abstract

This paper analyses corrections in Small Charts and the maintenance process of charts. In the process of maintaining, it can be observed that the accuracy is the most important feature of charts, and the concept of accuracy of Small Charts is analysed in relation to other types of charts. The authors have also analysed the lifetime of Small Charts because of their specific feature and the number and types of corrections in Small Charts in a year. The problem of a reduced safety in relation to the number of corrections has also been presented.
