What's the difference between AUS charts and DPI inshore charts?

AUS-numbered charts are produced by the Australian Hydrographic Service and are the official charts required for SOLAS-class vessels — they cover offshore navigation in detail. State DPI inshore charts are produced by state fisheries departments for recreational boaters and cover inshore waters, fishing grounds and harbours at higher resolution, but they aren't valid for commercial offshore use.

Are these charts corrected to the latest Notices to Mariners?

Yes. Every AUS chart shipped from Mapworld is fully chart-corrected at time of dispatch, incorporating the latest AHS Notices to Mariners. If you're holding charts for ongoing voyaging, we recommend subscribing to the AHS Notices to Mariners service to keep them current between editions.

Should I buy paper or laminated nautical charts?

Paper charts are the traditional standard — designed for chart-table plotting with pencil and dividers, and required for SOLAS compliance on many vessels. Laminated charts are wipe-clean and water-resistant — ideal for cockpit and exposed-helm use, repeated chart-table reference and training. Both editions carry the same AHS-corrected detail.

Do you stock digital nautical charts and tide tables?

Yes. Mapworld stocks C-Map and Navionics digital chart cards, AHS tide tables and digital chart subscriptions alongside our paper chart range.

Do you ship nautical charts Australia-wide?

Yes. Charts ship folded as standard from our Perth warehouse. Larger formats can ship rolled in a tube on request. Free shipping on orders over $75; $7 standard postage Australia-wide on smaller orders. Most metro deliveries arrive in 2–5 business days.

Can Mapworld supply charts for commercial vessels and training institutions?

Yes. Mapworld supplies marine training colleges, charter operators, government agencies and commercial vessels. Bulk orders, account terms and standing orders for chart updates are available.
