How the MCA gathers hydrographic data
Hydrographic survey is the process of gathering a wide variety of data for the purpose of describing
the seafloor. To ensure that data is collected to the highest possible quality for navigational charting,
the MCA specify the following requirements.
Standards Quality Assurance
All surveys are conducted to the IHO Order 1a Data Quality Control
survey standard, as defined by the • In addition to QC procedures employed by
International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) CHP survey contractors, technical

Propose a Survey
Should you know or be aware of any areas of UK seabed that require update to the nautical charts
and publications that cover them, please let us know. The MCA assess CHP survey areas using a
contemporary risk-based methodology, but we are keen to receive any information that can aid us
in our responsibilities to the mariner and the safety of life at sea. E-mail your suggestions for
hydrographic survey to: hydrography@mcga.gov.uk.
Typical indications of an area requiring re-survey are:
• Old underlying survey data (check using the "Source Data Diagram" on the latest chart);
• A change in traffic patterns (e.g. increases in cruise ship visits);
• An accident occurring due to inaccurate or incomplete survey data; or
• Changes to the seabed due to sandwave movement / channel migration.

Survey Safety
Much of the hydrographic work completed by the CHP is undertaken by contractors who are required
to gather seabed data using their own personnel, and vessels owned or chartered by themselves.
Acquired data is then submitted to both the MCA and UKHO.

duration of MCA contracts.
Hydrographic Notes
Reports of any newly discovered dangers to surface or sub-surface navigation are passed
immediately by the CHP contractors to the MCA and UKHO using the H102 Hydrographic Note form.
The nature of the CHP means that H-Notes are regularly sent in. This information is then immediately
passed on to the mariner.
During survey operations in 2018/19, over 160 H Notes were submitted.
Wreck Investigations
All wrecks found in a CHP survey are investigated with additional lines and detailed bathymetry and
water column data. Sitting proud of the seabed, wrecks and other man-made obstructions often form
the critical depth in each area of seabed. It is therefore crucial we have confidence that the shoalest
point on these obstructions are found so the mariner can navigate safely.
11Civil Hydrography Annual Seminar 2019
Sharing Data with the MCA
If you are considering performing a hydrographic survey and are willing to share your data with us,
we can pass it on to the UK Hydrographic Office to help them compile new or updated nautical charts
and so help improve safety for mariners.
Your survey does not need to be carried out to full charting standards to be of use. Even without a
full search for dangers, a modern survey can improve on our knowledge of the seabed. There will
be no legal liability on you for the way that we use your data.
The MCA are always happy to give help and advice on hydrographic data gathering requirements in
order to increase the usefulness of hydrographic survey data. Ideally bathymetry data would be
rendered and delivered in digital form, with:
• Data in one of the following: CARIS HDCS A report of the survey that describes how the
