How it works

Making it simple to select charts for any voyage

Using our online portal on a PC or smartphone you can intuitively identify optimum charts for a voyage. It starts by plotting your voyage waypoints.

You can plot a route in seconds on our digital map. This will visually identify any charts you require – and add them to your basket.

You can export either the basket to ADC compatible file formats including .txt, .gpx (GPS Exchange format) or .rtx (Real Time Extended format)

You can also click ‘Get a Quote’ to see the cost of those charts.

AVCS – Admiralty digital charts

You can visually check AVCS cells instantly. Once purchased, you receive all base files and updates required to load to your ECDIS or ECS via email or download.

ADP (Admiralty Digital Publications) and AENP (Admiralty Electronic Publications)

It takes just one click to see relevant Digital List of Lights, List of Radio Stations and Total Tide (ADP) or Admiralty Sailing Directions and other miscellaneous publications, all updated electronically.

Paper charts and paper publications

You can request paper copies of Admiralty nautical charts based on your route, as well as official paper publications which include:

• Admiralty List of Light Signals
• Admiralty Radio Stations
• Admiralty Total Tide
• Admiralty Sailing Directions.

These may require weekly updates via Admiralty Notices to Mariners, which are available via the website.
