EXPLANATORY NOTES
Dating
Weekly Notices are dated for the Thursday appropriate to the week that the printed version is despatched from the UKHO.
They are available earlier from the UKHO website.
Section I - Publications List
At the beginning of the Publications List is an index of ADMIRALTY Charts affected by the Publications List. Thereafter
there are a number of standard lists which contain details and announcements concerning charts and publications relevant for
the particular Weekly Notice. Full details of how to use the various lists contained in Section I are available in NP294.
Special Announcements and Errata are occasionally included at the end of this Section.
Section IA - Temporary and Preliminary (T&P) Notices
A list of T&P Notices in force (along with a list of those cancelled during the previous month), is included in the Weekly NM
each month (see below).
Section IB - Current Nautical Publications
Information about Publications including the current edition numbers is included in the Weekly NM at the end of March,
June, September and December.
Section II - Updates to Standard Nautical Charts
The notices in Section II give instructions for the updating of standard nautical charts and selected thematic charts in the
ADMIRALTY series. Geographical positions refer to the horizontal datum of the current edition of each affected chart
which is stated in the notice alongside the appropriate chart number. Positions are normally given in degrees, minutes and
decimals of a minute, but may occasionally quote seconds for convenience when plotting from the graduation of some older-
style charts. Where Leisure Products are referred to different horizontal datums from the standard nautical charts for that
geographical area, positions in the notices cannot be plotted directly on these products. Bearings are true reckoned clockwise
from 000° to 359°; those relating to lights are from seaward. Symbols referred to are those shown in NP5011. Depths and
heights are given in metres or fathoms and/or feet as appropriate for the chart being updated (abbreviated where necessary to
m, fm and ft respectively). Blocks and notes accompanying notices in Section II are placed towards the end of the section.
T&P Notices. These are indicated by (T) or (P) after the notice number and are placed at the end of Section II. They are
printed on one side of the paper in order that they may be cut up and filed. To assist in filing, the year is indicated after the
notice number and an in-force list is published monthly. Information from these notices is not included on charts before
issue; charts should be updated in pencil on receipt. Associated diagrams are reproduced with Blocks at the end of Section II.
Original Information. A star (*) adjacent to the number of a notice indicates that the notice is based on original
information.
Section III - Navigational Warnings
NAVAREA I Navigational Warnings in force at the specified time quoted in the header are reprinted in Section III. It is
recommended that this reprint should be kept in a file or book, followed by subsequent weekly reprints. Only the most
convenient ADMIRALTY Chart is quoted. The full text of all Warnings in force is included in Weeks 1, 13, 26 and 39 each
year.
Section IV - Sailing Directions
Updates to all Sailing Directions are given in Section IV of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners. Those in force at the end of
the year are reprinted in NP247(2) Annual Summary of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners Part 2. A list of updates in force is
published in Section IV of the Weekly Edition quarterly. Full details of how to keep Sailing Directions up-to-date can be
found in NP294 How to Keep Your ADMIRALTY Products Up-to-Date.
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.
Section V - Lights
Updates to all the List of Lights are given in Section V and may be published in an earlier edition than the chart-updating
notice. The entire entry for each light updated will be printed (including minor changes) and an asterisk (*) will denote which
column contains a change. In the case of a new light, or where a new sequence is added below the main light, an asterisk (*)
will appear under all columns. All Section V entries are intended to be cut out and pasted into the appropriate volume. It is
emphasised that the List of Lights is the primary source of information on lights and that many alterations, especially those of
a temporary but operational nature, are promulgated only as updates to the List of Lights. Light positions should be
regarded as approximate and are intended to indicate the relative positions of lights only. Charts should be consulted for a
more authoritative position. When a light is affected by a separate chart-updating notice, its Light List number is always
included in the relevant text contained in Section II. The range of a light is normally the nominal range, except when the
responsible authority quotes luminous or geographical range - see special remarks for ranges used by each country.

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.
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.
WMO SURVEY
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 publications.queries@ukho.gov.uk.
Please include the name and location of the feature in the image and how the image should be accredited
within ADMIRALTY publications.

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.
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
attributed or described as ‘Temporary’ in the pick report.
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.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTE FOR
GNSS OBSERVATIONS AGAINST CORRESPONDING BRITISH ADMIRALTY H.102B
(V7.0 Jan 2014)
CHART POSITIONS
(To accompany Form H.102)
NOTES:
1. This form is designed to assist in the reporting of observed differences between WGS84 datum and the geodetic datum of British
ADMIRALTY Charts by mariners, including yachtsmen and should be submitted as an accompaniment to Form H.102 (full instructions
for the rendering of data are on Form H.102). Where there is insufficient space on the form an additional sheet should be used.
The UK Hydrographic Office would appreciate the reporting of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) positions, referenced to WGS84 datum, at
identifiable locations or features on British ADMIRALTY Charts. Such observations could be used to calculate positional shifts between WGS84 datum and the
geodetic datum for those British ADMIRALTY Charts which it has not yet been possible to compute the appropriate shifts. These would be incorporated in future
new editions or new charts and promulgated by Preliminary Notices to Mariners in the interim.
It is unrealistic to expect that a series of reported WGS84 positions relating to a given chart will enable it to be referenced to that datum with the accuracy
required for geodetic purposes. Nevertheless, this provides adequate accuracy for general navigation, considering the practical limits to the precision of 0.2mm
(probably the best possible under ideal conditions – vessel alongside, good light, sharp dividers etc), this represents 10 metres on the ground at a chart scale of
1:50.000.
It is clear that users prefer to have some indication of the magnitude and direction of the positional shift, together with an assessment of its likely accuracy,
rather than be informed that a definitive answer cannot be formulated. Consequently, where a WGS84 version has not yet been produced, many charts now
carry approximate shifts relating WGS84 datum to the geodetic datum of the chart. Further observations may enable these values to be refined with greater
confidence.
3. Details required
a. It is essential that the chart number, edition date and its correctional state (latest NM) are stated. For ENCs, please state the ENC name and latest
update applied.
b. Position (to 2 decimal places of a minute) of observation point, using chart graticule or, if ungraduated, relative position by bearing/distance from
prominent charted features (navigation lights, trig. points, church spires etc.).
c. Position (to 2 decimal places of a minute) of observation point, using GNSS Receiver. Confirm that GNSS positions are referenced to WGS84 datum.
d. Include GNSS receiver model and aerial type (if known). Also of interest: values of PDOP, HDOP or GDOP displayed (indications of theoretical
quality of position fixing depending upon the distribution of satellites overhead) and any other comments.
HYDROGRAPHIC NOTE ± H.102 INSTRUCTIONS (V9.0 Dec 2017)
1. Mariners are requested to notify the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) when new or suspected dangers to
navigation are discovered, changes observed in aids to navigation, or corrections to publications are seen to be necessary.
Mariners can also report any ENC display issues experienced. The Mariner's Handbook (NP100) Chapter 4 gives general
instructions. The provisions of international and national laws should be complied with when forwarding such reports.
2. Accurate position or knowledge of positional error is of great importance. Where latitude and longitude have been used to
specifically position the details of a report, a full description of the method used to obtain the position should be given. Where
possible the position should be fixed by GPS or Astronomical Observations. A full description of the method, equipment,
time, estimated error and datum (where applicable) used should be given. Where the position has been recorded from a
smart phone or tablet, this is to be specifically mentioned. When position is defined by sextant angles or bearings (true or
magnetic to be specified), more than two should be used to provide a redundancy check. Where position is derived from
Electronic Position Fixing (e.g. LORAN C) or distances observed by radar, the raw readings of the system in use should be
quoted wherever possible. Where position is derived after the event, from other observations and / or Dead Reckoning, the
methodology of deriving the position should be included.
3. Paper Charts: A cutting from the largest scale chart is often the best medium for forwarding details, the alterations and
additions being shown thereon in red. When requested, a new copy will be sent in replacement of a chart that has been
used to forward information, or when extensive observations have involved defacement of the observer's chart. If it is
preferred to show the amendments on a tracing of the largest scale chart (rather than on the chart itself) these should be in
red as above, but adequate details from the chart must be traced in black ink to enable the amendments to be fitted correctly.
4. ENCs: A screen shot of the largest scale usage band ENC with the alterations and additions being shown thereon in red.
If it is to report an issue with the display of an ENC, a screen shot of the affected ENC should be sent along with details of
the ECDIS make, model or age and version in use at the time.
5. When soundings are obtained The Mariner's Handbook (NP100) should where possible be consulted. It is important to
ensure that full details of the method of collection are included with the report. This should include but not limited to:
(a) Make, model and type of echo sounder used.
(b) Whether the echo sounder is set to register depths below the surface or below the keel; in the latter case the vessel's
draught should be given.
(c) Time, date and time zone should be given in order that corrections for the height of the tide may be made where
necessary, or a statement made as to what corrections for tide have already been made.
(d) Where larger amounts of bathymetric data have been gathered, only those areas where a significant difference to
the current chart or ENC should be specifically mentioned on the H102. The full data set may also be sent in, with
an additional note added to this effect. If no significant differences are noted, the bathymetric data may still be of
use, and sent in accordingly. Where full data sets are included, a note as to the data owner and their willingness for
the data to be incorporated into charts and ENCs included.
6. FRU (FKR 6RXQGHUV WKDW XVH HOHFWURQLF µUDQJH JDWLQJ¶ FDUH VKRXOG be taken that the correct range scale and
appropriate gate width are in use. Older electro-mechanical echo sounders frequently record signals from echoes
received back after one or more rotations of the stylus have been completed. Thus, with a set whose maximum range is
500m, an echo recorded at 50m may be from depths of 50m, 550m or even 1050m. Soundings recorded beyond the set's
nominal range can usually be recognised by the following:
(a) the trace being weaker than normal for the depth recorded;
(b) the trace passing through the transmission line;
(c) the feathery nature of the trace.
As a check that apparently shoal soundings are not due to echoes received beyond the set's nominal range,
soundings should be continued until reasonable agreement with charted soundings is reached. However,
soundings received after one or more rotations of the stylus can still be useful and should be submitted if they
show significant differences from charted depths.
7. Reports which cannot be confirmed or are lacking in certain details should not be withheld. Shortcomings should
be stressed and any firm expectation of being able to check the information on a succeeding voyage should be mentioned.
8. Reports of shoal soundings, uncharted dangers and aids to navigation out of order should, at the mariner's discretion, also
be made by radio to the nearest coast radio station. The draught of modern tankers is such that any uncharted depth under
30 metres or 15 fathoms may be of sufficient importance to justify a radio message.
9. Changes to Port Information should be forwarded on Form H.102A and any GPS/Chart Datum observations should be
forwarded on Form H.102B together with Form H.102. Where there is insufficient space on the forms additional sheets
should be used.
10. Reports on ocean currents, magnetic variations and other marine observations should be made in accordance with
The Mariner's Handbook (NP100) Chapter 4 with forms also available at admiralty.co.uk/MSI.
Note. - An acknowledgement or receipt will be sent and the information then used to the best advantage which may mean
immediate action or inclusion in a revision in due course; for these purposes, the UKHO may make reproductions of any
material supplied. When a Notice to Mariners is issued, the sender's ship or name is quoted as authority unless (as
sometimes happens) the information is also received from other authorities or the sender states that they do not want to
be named by using the appropriate tick box on the form. An explanation of the use made of contributions from all parts of
the world would be too great a task and a further communication should only be expected when the information is of
outstanding value or has unusual features.
