UKRAINE NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION

Owing to insufficient information, it is not always possible to ensure that ADMIRALTY Nautical
Publications are completely up-to-date for new dangers or changes to aids to navigation.
Mariners are therefore advised to exercise particular caution when navigating in Ukrainian waters.
BALTIC SEA CHART DATUM 2000 (BSCD2000)
UKHO Products and Services, including foreign charts, in the Baltic Sea region are changing to a
new vertical reference system for depth and height information. During this transition period,
Charts may be referred to either mean sea level or the new BSCD2000. For further information
please contact the national charting authority and see ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions.
This note is to be reviewed in 2026.
PHOTOGRAPHY
ADMIRALTY publications utilise imagery from a wide variety of sources, mariners, port authorities and
other users. The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) welcomes new imagery of navigational aids, landmarks,
coastline, approaches to and from ports and berths. Imagery from the mariner's point of view is especially
helpful. Images can be sent to the UKHO using the email [email protected].
Please include the name and location of the feature in the image and how the image should be accredited
within ADMIRALTY publications.

SUBMARINE CABLES AND PIPELINES

Mariners are advised not to anchor or trawl
within 1750m of submarine cables and
pipelines in Indonesian waters. Pipelines are
not always buried and their presence may
significantly reduce the charted depth. They
may also span seabed undulations and cause
fishing gear to become irrecoverably snagged,
putting a vessel in severe danger.

1. ENC / ECDIS and AVCS
a) ENCs temporarily withdrawn from AVCS
b) ENC Readme.txt file

The README.TXT file located within the ENC_ROOT folder of AVCS Exchange sets contains important safety related information
relating to the use of ENCs in ECDIS. The file is also available on the AVCS Support page, accessed from admiralty.co.uk/avcs.
This file should be consulted each week to ensure that all related issues are taken into consideration. The file header indicates the last
time that the README file was updated and the date that it was issued.
c) Temporary information in ENCs

Mariners should take temporary information into account when planning and executing a passage with ENCs and most ENC producers
now include temporary information in their ENCs. It is usually compiled as normal ENC updates, sometimes with the start and end dates
The latest confirmed status of T&P NM information in the ENCs that are available in ADMIRALTY services is shown in the ENC-
T&P-NM-Status.pdf file at: admiralty.co.uk/ENC-TP-NMs. Note that T&P NMs are compiled for paper charts and may not align with
any temporary information that is compiled into ENCs.
ADMIRALTY Information Overlay (AIO) includes ADMIRALTY T&P NMs for paper charts where the ENC Producer has not
confirmed that they include temporary information in their ENCs.
Further guidance can be found in the AIO User Guide on the AVCS Support page, accessed from admiralty.co.uk/avcs.

ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions: Removal of AIS and Racons

In 2018, the UKHO began the process of removing AIS and Racon information from ADMIRALTY Sailing Directions, as this is held in
greater detail within ADMIRALTY Radio Signals publications. During this transition, AIS and Racon information will be removed
from new editions of each Sailing Direction volume, and AIS and Racon information present in existing Sailing Direction volumes will
no longer be updated. For accurate, up-to-date information on AIS and Racons, refer to ADMIRALTY Radio Signals publications.
ADP V23 is available on the ADP Weekly Update DVD.

V19 and V23 are supported by the UKHO and are the only versions that allow users to receive tidal updates as they are made available.
Users of older versions of ADP should upgrade to a supported version at their earliest convenience.
ADMIRALTY TotalTide (ATT): German Tidal Stations predicted on LAT

The TotalTide application computes predictions for all German tidal stations based on Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT).
Mariners using charts which refer to Mean Low Water Springs (MLWS) in German waters, must deduct 0.5m from all predicted tidal
heights for these ports before applying them to the depths on those charts to determine the correct predicted depth of water. This advice
For information: Please note the UKHO will not be supporting V18 from 1st July 2023.
The ADP software and the Data updates can still be downloaded from weekly ADP Update and Software DVDs.
To get access to the ADP Update and Software DVD, please contact your ADMIRALTY Distributor.
For information: Ensure that Activation Key Requests and Update Data Requests for ADP are sent to [email protected]
4. ADMIRALTY e-Nautical Publications (AENP)
There is currently an e-Reader 1.3 enabling users to read Digital copies of our Sailing Directions paper publications.
A new e-Reader 1.4 was released to the Channel on 01/10/2020. This version 1.4 has got the same functionalities as the current version
1.3 but is more performant and user-friendly. While the current 1.3 version can be used on Windows 7 and 8.1 Operating Systems (OS),
the e-Reader 1.4 can only be used on Windows 8.1 and 10 OS, to follow the Microsoft guidelines of withdrawing support for Windows
7 OS.
To enable users to activate this new application, users might need to delete one e-Reader application from their Fleet Manager Licences
if the maximum 3 allowed has been reached.
Both the e-Readers 1.3 and 1.4 are supported at the UKHO.
The e-Reader 1.4 software and the Data updates can be downloaded from weekly ADP Update and Software DVDs.
To get access to the AENP Update and Software DVD, please contact your ADMIRALTY Distributor.
