about our charts
There's loads of blue stuff on this planet of ours and finding your way around it is hard, luckily we're here to help! We stock thousands of nautical charts covering pretty much everywhere and we can offer advice for voyage planning and chart selection whether you're heading from Perth to Geraldton or Perth to Jamaica. For Australian waters, our Navy produces charts covering the entire coast, all of which we have. The British Admiralty produce charts covering everything else and as Western Australia's only agent, we stock all 3500-ish of them. For local Western Australian waters, our Department of Transport produce an awesome set of charts covering from Cape Naturaliste up to Kalbarri, with a few random areas outside that including Shark Bay, Exmouth and the Abrolhos Islands. The charts only cover small areas (up to about 6-7 miles offshore) but in a huge amount of detail. We also stock Land Information New Zealand's charts which cover the waters around that part of the World, including certain areas of Antarctica and the South West Pacific. Every chart we sell is fully corrected up to the day you buy it.

The Australian Hydrographic Service currently has over 400 paper charts. All our charts are fully corrected and update to date with the latest Notices to Mariners.

The Australian Hydrographic Service was established, and assumed responsibility for hydrographic surveys in Australia, in 1920. In 1946, Cabinet decided that the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) would maintain the national responsibility for hydrographic surveying, nautical charting and the provision of hydrographic services.

RAN is responsible for meeting Australia's obligations to provide hydrographic services as required by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Its traditions and methods take their origins from those of the Royal Navy and the pioneers of hydrography. These include names synonymous with Australian history such as; James Cook, Matthew Flinders, William Bligh, Phillip Parker King - all hydrographers; all dedicated to science, exploration and the safety of life at sea.

In the interest of safe boating, the Department publishes detailed nautical charts of the Western Australian coastline for use by recreational and local commercial vessels.

These WA charts are not intended as meeting any chart carriage requirements under either Australian or International regulations, such as SOLAS V. The Australian Hydrographic Service and the UK Admiralty both publish official charts of Australia that meet these regulations.

Nautical charts are navigational tools, which are vital for all craft. They provide clear, concise information about ocean depths and coastal features as well as displaying accurate information about lights, beacons, piles, nautical limits and all navigational hazards. Mariners should keep their charts up to date by regularly incorporating the relevant Notices to Mariners.

The Department's paper nautical chart series is compiled to specifications based on those of the International Hydrographic Organisation, the worldwide charting standardisation authority, and are printed in full colour onto high quality map paper.

The UKHO produce over 3300 Standard Nautical Charts and a wide range of thematic charts for specialist requirements. Admiralty standard nautical charts comply with Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations and are ideal for professional, commercial and recreational use. Charts within the series consist of a range of scales, useful for passage planning, ocean crossings, coastal navigation and entering port.

Mariners should always use the largest scale nautical chart appropriate to their needs. In particularly busy seaways such as the English Channel, Gulf of Suez and the Malacca and Singapore Straits, the standard nautical charts are supplemented by mariners routeing guides which provide advice on route planning in these complex areas.

Click here to go the UKHO's catalogue page. There's one you can download, but it's a little bit complicated to use. I would suggest just emailing us if you can't find what you want, we're here to help!
