Pub. 160, Sailing Directions (Planning Guide): South Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean, is the U.S. government's planning volume for ocean passages in the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. It is produced by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the agency formerly known as NIMA. According to The American Practical Navigator (Bowditch), Planning Guides help the navigator plan an extensive oceanic voyage and give useful information about all the countries adjacent to an ocean basin, arranged alphabetically by country, with topics such as buoyage systems, regulations, pilotage, search and rescue, reporting systems and time zones.

Planning Guides are relatively permanent and are corrected between updates by the Notice to Mariners. This is a 428-page, 8.5 x 11 inch paperback. Paradise Cay prints this edition on demand in house on 50# paper, so each copy is the most current edition available.
