Famil ar to navigators, nautical charts have undergone intensive evolution over time. Whatever chart is used, precautions must be taken for safe use.

Shom continuously collects and processes information necessary for navigation; then, publishes it, notably on nautical charts. The elaboration of nautical charts is conducted by expert cartographers who analyse, select and compile data, in order to obtain a graphical synthesis: The mapped information. They use a wide range of information: Bathymetric data base, wrecks, buoyage system, undersea cables, .... and'also benefit from the advice of nautical experts, geophysicians, hydrographers and'a s'ecialised laboratory for aerial or satellite image exploitation.

Keeping your chart folio up to date on a regular basis enables the integration on new information (new hydrographic data, new regulations, modifications of navigation marks or harbour infrastructure, etc) and it also makes them compl'ant with international standards.
