ABOUT US The UKHO is a government Trading Fund and part of the Ministry of Defence. Our primary activity is the provision of navigational products and services to the Royal Navy and the merchant marine in compliance with Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) Regulations. Marketed under the Admiralty brand, the UKHO's product portfolio offers worldwide coverage in the form of 3,300 Standard Navigational Charts and 220 Navigational Publications. In addition to these more 'traditional' products, we also produce a range of electronic charts known as ARCS (Admiralty Raster Chart Service) and a popular range of Leisure Charts and Editions produced specifically for the small craft and leisure mariner. Recently, a number of products have been added to our digital product portfolio including TotalTide - a Tidal Prediction Program exclusively designed for SOLAS shipping, and the Digital List of Lights - a CD-ROM version of one of our most popular publications. We are continuing to expand our range of web-based services with the introduction of EasyTide, a popular online tidal prediction service and Searchable Notices to Mariners. The UKHO s first online product catalogue, the Admiralty Online Catalogue, was launched in March 2004. Admiralty Charts and Publications The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO)
