Hydrographic Office

The Hydrographic Office has taken over provision to the shipping
community of nautical services which were provided by the British
Admiralty before the reversion of sovereignty on July 1, 1997. Hong Kong
will attend the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) conferences
as part of the Chinese delegation.

Major re-surveys of the port areas continue and bilingual nautical charts
and publications are published for sale to the public. Hydrographic
surveys and nautical charts follow the standards set by the IHO.
