Direct access is via or through the UKHO web address.<$>The improved facility enables users to search for updates to paper Admiralty Navigational Charts and Publications by chart or publication number using four search criteria: By chart or publication updates from the latest edition; By chart or publication updates from the last NM; By chart updates between specified dates; By individual NM by NM number/year.

The AMNO services new search facility provides rapid updates to Admiralty Navigational Charts and Publications.

The nmwebsearch functionality provides quick and easy access to chart and publication update listings, NM chart and publication text updates, NM full colour blocks, diagrams and note updates and temporary and preliminary NMs updates.

The new service is the result of collaboration between UKHO and ChartCo, who won the contract to provide database management for the Searchable NM Project.

The digital form of Admiralty Notices to Mariners is accepted by the MCA as compliant with carriage requirements for Notices to Mariners under Regulation 20 of SOLAS and the Merchant Shipping Regulations 1998.

The UKHO will be seeking similar endorsements from other Flag State and Port State Controllers over the coming months.
