Australia ceases printing nautical publications

Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) has issued a marine notice to inform shipowners, operators, masters, crews, recognised organisations and marine pilots of cessation of printing of some nautical publications.

Affected nautical publications

AHO noted a significant increase in demand for digital nautical publications, with a commensurate decrease in demand for printed products. Therefore, the AHO has ceased producing printed versions of Australian National Tides Tables (AHP11) and Mariner’s Handbook for Australian Waters (AHP20).

Equivalent digital publications can be obtained from the AHO website. They provide mariners with the latest information on demand, contributing to improved situational awareness and navigational safety.
