Australian Chart Index

The Australian Hydrographic Service currently has over 400 paper charts as well as ENC & RNC products. Below you can find some links to our Australian Chart Index that contains lists of Australian Paper Charts, ENC Cells, Seafarer RNC Region Packs, Seafarer RNC Day Packs, links to Notices to Mariners, Thumbnail Images and much more.

There are currently three methods of accessing the Australian Chart Index (ACI). There is the Standard ACI, the Advanced ACI and the GoogleEarth™ ACI.

Standard ACI

The Standard ACI provides both a Paper Chart and ENC Cell list in an easy to read and navigate text-based format. Each list has links for each chart or cell to provide access to detailed chart information, thumbnail images, Notices to Mariners, Seafarer RNC Regional Packs, Day Packs and much more.

Advanced ACI

If you are after a more interactive experience you could try the Advanced ACI where you can use a zoomable map to find your charts and information as described in the Standard ACI as well as more features such as Way Points.

If you are a subscriber to the Seafarer RNC Products you can also find a standalone version of the ACI included on each monthly update CD. For more information have a look at the Seafarer RNC section of this website.

GoogleEarth™ ACI

If you would like to experience a rich online mapping visualisation, you could try the GoogleEarth™ ACI. This version can be downloaded as a KMZ file that can be opened in GoogleEarth™ to view all of our Paper Chart and ENC Products.

Please note that the GoogleEarth™ ACI is intended as a visual information aid and is NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATION.
