THE United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has announced the launch of Admiralty Digital Radio Signals volume 2, which has been added to the UKHO's expanded portfolio of Admiralty Digital Publications (ADP).
Admiralty Digital Radio Signals volume 2 (ADRS2) is the latest of the UKHO's nautical reference guides in digital format as part of the UKHO's ADP portfolio, now available on a three-month free trial basis for new customers.
ADRS 2 provides bridge crews with a comprehensive range of compliant, digital positional and timekeeping references to help ensure that their ships are at the right place at the right time.
This includes listings of VHF radio-direction-finding stations, a worldwide listing of radar beacons (Racons and Ramarks), a worldwide listing of known operational AIS (automatic identification systems) aids to navigation and a worldwide listing of radio beacons transmitting DGPS corrections.
ADP are approved for use by 76 flag states, including Greece, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Panama and Singapore. As a result, 78 per cent of the world's vessels over 2,000 gross tonnes are permitted to use ADP for voyage planning and navigation purposes instead of paper equivalents.
This version comes as new data is published on the detention rates of the 27 Paris MoU maritime administrations, which cover European coastal waters and the North Atlantic basin from North America to Europe.
Every year, more than 18,000 inspections take place on board foreign ships in the Paris MoU ports. Data from last year shows that of the 912 vessels detained in 2013, 11 per cent included deficiencies with either navigational charts or publications.
