UKHO signs agreements with Port of London Authority and Peel Ports

The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has signed new Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Port of London Authority (PLA) and Peel Ports Group aiming to collaborate in the port sector.

The new strategic partnerships aim to improve the supply, management and sharing of hydrographic and marine data and support the UKHO’s ambitions to work more closely with the UK ports and harbours community.

UKHO said, “this will support the maintenance and updating of Admiralty products and services for safe navigation at sea, while the partnerships will help develop the next generation of navigation services.”

Before this collaboration, an agreement was signed between the UKHO and PLA to conduct the first real sea trial of gridded bathymetry data using the S-102 standard.

At this moment, the new MoU between UKHO and Peel Ports Group is expected to help to formalise existing avenues of collaboration, paving the way for closer data and knowledge exchange.

“These MoUs will enable us to more closely collaborate with the Port of London Authority and Peel Ports Group and work together with them to ensure a safer, more efficient and more sustainable maritime sector,” Paul Marks, head of Data Partnerships at UKHO.
