� Admiralty TotalTide (ATT)
� Admiralty Digital List of Lights (ADLL)

Digital Nautical PublicationsPublications available in a digital format from UKHO, IMO anda wide variety of other sources. From the award-winnningTotal Tide to MARPOL on CD-ROM, we can advise on the publi-cations to suit your needs.
Digital publications containing navigational or regulatory in-formation usually come with a subscription to keep them up-dated this can be weekly, monthly, quarterly, depending onthe product.
Not only is the task of updating much easier (simply put a CDinto the drive and press "update") but it is easy to see when thelast update was applied and the user has the confidence thatthey are always referring to current information.
In conjunction with the world’sleading Hydrographic Offices,the UKHO’s Admiralty VectorChart Service (AVCS) provides aworld ENC database. The serviceprovides comprehensive, official,worldwide vector chart coveragefor SOLAS compliant use withinElectronic Chart Display andInformation Systems (ECDIS).
Three types of folio are available, each designed to maximiseutility and minimise the purchase of redundant data:
Transit FoliosProvides all the coverage needed for a vessel to pass safelythrough a region when not engaging in local trade. The foliosare schemed to provide coverage along the major trade routeswithout the need to purchase data for less frequently visitedareas. The intention is to save operators the expense of pur-chasing detailed coverage for regions that they are just pass-ing through, whilst including more coverage to negotiate thechoke points such as the Suez Canal and Malacca Straits.
Regional FoliosDesigned for local and coastal trade, where more detailed cov-erage of complex coastal waters is required. These folios havea much smaller geographic footprint and include all coastalcoverage within the folio area and some approach coveragewhere coastal coverage is not available. In most cases vesselsapproaching a port directly from an ocean passage will re-quire only transit and port folios.
Ports FoliosCoverage of the world’s top ports in a set of port folios. Eachcontains the coverage necessary to enter each port. In verycomplex areas where a number of ports share approaches, asingle port folio has been included to provide the coveragerequired for all the ports in the area.
Typically, the operator would choose the transit folios re-quired to get from their current location to a particular desti-nation port, plus one or more regional folios to provide moredetail where necessary. In addition, detailed coverage appro-priate to the port(s) visited may also be chosen.
Weekly CD UpdatesAVCS updates are supplied to all customers on a weekly basis.This data contains updates to all charts in AVCS, regardless ofwhether or not the customer has licensed them. This ensuresthat every AVCS customer has a complete and up-to-date setof data on-board, which can easily be accessed when a chartpermit is issued.
Benefits:� World-wide coverage
� Backed by the UKHO
� Tailored to trading usage
