Appendix Appendix E - Appendix E to Subpart W of Part 922—Coordinates for the Ship Reporting Area
[Coordinates listed in this appendix are unprojected (Geographic) and based on the North American Datum of 1983]

The Reporting Area Outer Boundary is defined by the following geographic coordinates and description as outlined in IMO Resolution MSC.279(85) Appendix 1—Outer Boundary adopted on 1 December 2008 that superseded and amended IMO Resolution MEPC.171(57) adopted on 4 April 2008.

The outer boundary of the CORALSHIPREP reporting area consists of lines connecting the following geographical positions:

Starting at (1) 29° 24′.21 N, 178° 06′.45 W;

A rhumb line to (2) 29° 12′.16 N, 177° 04′.25 W;

Then a rhumb line to (3) 28° 43′.78 N, 175° 13′.76 W;

Then a rhumb line to (4) 27° 00′.28 N, 173° 25′.37 W;

Then a rhumb line to (5) 26° 44′.85 N, 171° 28′.22 W;

Then a rhumb line to (6) 26° 23′.95 N, 170° 20′.25 W;

Then a rhumb line to (7) 25° 56′.49 N, 167° 32′.03 W;

Then a rhumb line to (8) 24° 50′.23 N, 165° 58′.56 W;

Then a rhumb line to (9) 24° 02′.61 N, 161° 42′.30 W;

Then an arc with a 60.25 nm radius centered at (21) 23° 03′.61 N, 161° 55′.22 W;

To a point (10) 22° 04′.59 N, 162° 08′.14 W;

Then a rhumb line to (11) 22° 35′.32 N, 164° 53′.46 W;

Then a rhumb line to (12) 22° 47′.86 N, 166° 40′.44 W;

Then a rhumb line to (13) 24° 03′.30 N, 168° 27′.53 W;

Then a rhumb line to (14) 24° 26′.59 N, 170° 50′.37 W;

Then a rhumb line to (15) 24° 46′.49 N, 171° 52′.87 W;

Then a rhumb line to (16) 25° 07′.23 N, 174° 30′.23 W;

Then a rhumb line to (17) 27° 05′.50 N, 176° 35′.40 W;

Then a rhumb line to (18) 27° 15′.11 N, 177° 35′.26 W;

Then a rhumb line to (19) 27° 26′.10 N, 178° 32′.23 W;

Then an arc with a 60.17 nm radius centered at (20) 28° 25′.23 N, 178° 19′.51 W;

Then to point (1) 29° 24′.21 N, 178° 06′.45 W.

The boundaries for the Inner Reporting Areas listed in this appendix, unless otherwise described in this rule, begin at Point 1 as indicated in the particular area's coordinate table and continue to each successive point in numerical order until ending at the last point in the table.
