UKHO has announced a plan to restructure its Admiralty Leisure product range which will focus its attention and investment on the two Leisure products most valued by its customers; the Admiralty Leisure folios for UK & Ireland, and the ever-popular Admiralty Easy Tide web site. UKHO will focus investment on developing coverage of Admiralty Leisure Folios for the UK coast. A new folio for the North East England will be published ready for the 2011 season, with more folios planned for 2011 to provide further coverage of UK coast. The other Admiralty Leisure products will be subject to a phased withdrawal from September.
Since the first Admiralty Leisure chart was published in the 1940s, countless leisure craft users have relied on Admiralty Leisure products for planning and navigation. The paper chart is still an irreplaceable part of the mix and the UKHO remains committed to the leisure market where it can best serve the customer and support safety at sea.
