The UK Hydrographic Office’s (UKHO) has launched a developing series of Port Approach Guides for some of the world’s busiest ports.
These are port-scale charts that contain a wide range of planning and support information. By allowing bridge crews to view this information in one place, each guide can simplify a number of passage planning tasks and support master-pilot exchange.
Already on the list are main ports such as Long Beach/LA, Southampton, Rotterdam, Shanghai and Jebel Ali and a whole host of others – including all the SA ports and others around the coast of Africa.
