The Nautic Way Maritime Bookstore is an approved Shom agent, and offers the complete catalog of charts and works from the SHOM (Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service) and the Admiralty.

As the needs of Shom's civil and military customers evolve and ENCs (electronic navigational charts) become more widespread, Shom has decided to rationalize its portfolio of charts in foreign waters by the end of the year. In coherence, the coverage of nautical works will also be rationalized.

Second half of 2021, as part of the rationalization of its portfolio of charts in foreign waters, in line with the coverage of nautical works, Shom has decided to reduce the coverage of the Books of Fires to that of nautical charts which thus pass from 4 volumes (LA, LB, LC, LD) to 2 volumes L1 (France Métropole) and L2 (Overseas and foreign areas). This provision comes into force on September 8, 2021.
