About Admiralty Territorial Sea Baseline Charts

Admiralty Territorial Sea Baseline Charts are official reference charts produced by the UKHO that define the baseline from which a state's territorial sea, contiguous zone, and exclusive economic zone are measured in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). These charts show the precise low-water line or declared straight baselines that form the legal boundary from which the 12-nautical-mile territorial sea limit and other maritime jurisdictions extend seaward. Essential for legal compliance, sovereignty determinations, and understanding maritime boundaries, these charts are critical references for government authorities, maritime lawyers, and vessels operating near territorial limits.

Key Features of Territorial Sea Baseline Charts

• Legal Maritime Boundaries: Officially recognised baselines for determining territorial waters under international law.
• UNCLOS Compliance: Produced in accordance with UN Convention on the Law of the Sea requirements.
• Jurisdictional Reference: Essential for understanding maritime sovereignty and enforcement zones.
• Official Documentation: Serves as legal reference for maritime boundary disputes and jurisdictional questions.

Chart Presentation

• Chart Dimensions: Most charts are approximately DE size (1070 x 715 mm), Long DE size (1270 x 715 mm) or A0 size (1189 x 841mm), though individual charts may differ. As exact dimensions aren't available until printing we strongly recommend waiting to receive your chart before ordering a frame.
• Presentation: The chart will be printed from the latest file available. Sometimes this may be more up-to-date than the sample image on this page. If this is of concern please get in touch and we can check the latest thumbnail image.
• Official Markings: Charts will include an official agent's stamp and a line of authentication data in the margin.
• Folded or Unfolded: By default, charts are folded up to three times to a standard size suitable for a ship's chart drawer. If you require an unfolded chart, please select this option when ordering. Both folded and unfolded charts are then rolled for shipping in a tube.

Shipping and Handling

• Printed to Order: Please note that Admiralty charts are not off-the-shelf items. Each one is printed on demand by an official UKHO Print-on-Demand distributor and prepared individually, a process that involves printing, trimming, quality checking, folding, official stamping, and applying a chart number label to the back of the chart. Please check for messages regarding current handling times during the ordering process.
• Urgent Orders: If you are in a hurry, please get in touch with us directly and we will do our very best to accommodate your needs.
• Packaging: Your chart will be shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube. Charts are produced to professional navigation standards where minor creasing, if it occurs, does not affect navigational use. If shipped with Royal Mail we use a standard round tube. If shipped with DPD we use a long rectangular box which carries a slightly higher risk of creasing. Minor creasing can usually be flattened easily with a few hours under some heavy books.
• Returns: Because every chart is printed to order, it is non-returnable unless faulty or damaged. Please ensure the chart you have selected meets your needs before ordering. We are very happy to help with any questions, so please get in touch if you need assistance.
