The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office’s (UKHO) ADMIRALTY Port Approach Guides are port-scale charts that contain a wide range of planning and support information for some of the world’s busiest ports. By allowing bridge crews to view this information in one place, each guide can simplify a number of passage planning tasks; making port entry and exit quicker and easier.
As more Port Approach Guides are released to support entry to Shanghai, Doha, Aberdeen and Istanbul, the UKHO has created a film to help Mariners understand the benefits that these new paper charts can offer.
Focusing on the Port Approach Guide for Southampton, the film highlights the type of information included in each guide and how current warnings and notices for the area can support planning.
