Overview
ARCS is the UKHO's paper chart portfolio presented in a digital format. Over 3000
charts provide extensive, official coverage of international commercial shipping
routes, main ports and harbours at a comprehensive range of scales. ARCS charts
are licensed on a chart by chart basis to give you maximum flexibility - you only
have to pay for the charts you need.
All ARCS charts have the same familiar image and use the same internationally recognised
symbology as Admiralty paper charts - making them the easy first step from chart
table to electronic navigation.

Compatible Display Systems
ARCS is fully compatible with a wide range of electronic chart systems (ECS) and
