Admiralty Standard Nautical Charts
Admiralty Standard Nautical Charts are produced by United Kingdom’s Hydrographic Office in a range of scales for safe ocean navigation covering passage planning, harbours and nautical hazards, anchorages, coastal and offshore navigation.
It is recommended for safe navigation that Mariners should always use nautical charts of the largest appropriate scale. In particularly busy seaways such as The English Channel, Gulf of Suez and the Malacca and Singapore Straits, the Admiralty SNC series is supplemented by Mariners Routeing Guides which advise on route planning and all necessary regulations appropriate to the area of navigation.
