Updating our charts

The work we’re doing to update New Zealand’s nautical charts

We have an annual work programme for keeping our nautical charts up to date. This is shown in the tables below.

We adjust our priorities when there are changes to an area, like new navigational lights or survey information, that need to be reflected in our charts.

Find out about new and updated charts in Notices to Mariners (NtMs)
