ENC and DIS supplied by Hydrographic Company mett the standards of the International Hydrographic Organization.
In the near time, Hydrographic Company is going to expand the scope of its services and provide officially approved ENC of the Directorate of Navigation and Oceanography of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for maritime zones of the national jurisdiction of the Russian Federation in the Arctic and Pacific oceans, Baltic, Black, Azov and Caspian seas.
FSUE Hydrographic Company provides navigation and hydrographic support in the water area of the Northern Sea Route including the survey of bottom relief for keeping navigation charts and guides up-to-date, for providing the Northern Sea Route waters with aids to navigation and for informing seafarers about changing navigation circumstances. The company acts as a contractor under the projects on construction and operation of new port infrastructure facilities within the Northern Sea Route.
