New Edition of ADMIRALTY


Mariners Handbook NP100
In response to user feedback and an improved understanding of how the
publication is used, the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has
published the 10th Edition of the ADMIRALTY Mariners Handbook (NP100),
which is available in both printed format and as an e-NP.

First published in 1962, the tenth edition is now easier to use and understand.
NP100 provides maritime information on charts and their use, the
communication of navigational information, the maritime environment,
including sea and ice conditions, restrictions to navigation and maritime
pollution and conservation (MARPOL).

The handbook also contains COLREGS information, a comprehensive


description of the IALA Maritime Buoyage System and an improved glossary of nautical terminology.

Key improvements include an improved structure and tabular layout to the handbook, making it quicker and simpler for mariners
to locate the exact information that they need and the addition of QR codes throughout the publication to increase usability and
ensure that the most current data is available.

The glossary section of NP100 has been re-written, laid out in tabular format and complemented by additional images and
diagrams to provide seafarers with a better understanding of the relevant terminology, as well as improved comprehension for
those who don’t speak English as their first language.

This edition supersedes the Ninth Edition (2009), which is cancelled.
