The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) serves as a key centre for hydrography, providing data and expertise to support safe, secure, and sustainable ocean activity. Its core mission focuses on enabling safe navigation through the delivery of maritime solutions via the ADMIRALTY portfolio—used by over 90% of large vessels engaged in international trade to ensure compliance, efficiency, and safety. UKHO’s operations are supported by a network of global partnerships and technical experts who source, process, and publish hydrographic and marine geospatial data spanning the seabed to the ocean surface.
