ADMIRALTY TotalTide

Comprehensive coverage of tidal information

ADMIRALTY TotalTide (ATT) provides bridge crews with fast, accurate tidal height and tidal stream predictions for more than 7,000 ports and 3,000 tidal streams worldwide.  This global coverage, which is split across 10 areas, enables users to take advantage of the tides whilst reducing risk to crew, cargo and ships. 

Instant tidal predictions and clearance calculations

Enabling quicker and more informed decisions, ATT allows users to instantly calculate tidal heights for multiple ports during a period of seven consecutive days. Crews can also use the software to calculate and view safe clearances based on a ship's draft, masthead and under-keel clearance allowance.

This information, which is quality assured by maritime experts at the UKHO, is presented in user-friendly graphical forms to help bridge crews understand predictions at times of peak-workload and pressure.

Overlays to support voyage planning

Easy to use and clearly displayed using a growing number of back-of-bridge software, including ADMIRALTY e-Navigator Planning Station, ATT can be viewed as a single layer on top of official navigational charts. By using this functionality, crews can view real-time tidal predictions and relevant navigational information in one place, making it easier to plan voyages and view intended routes in detail.

Fast and efficient updates

ATT is integrated with the UKHO database of over one million tidal constants, which is also updated weekly in line with ADMIRALTY Tide Tables.

Approved by the Flag States of over 80% of ships trading internationally, ATT provides the same level of compliance as traditional ADMIRALTY paper-based publications, for ships trading under these Flag States. Where we are aware that a Flag State Authority (FSA) has issued documentation on the acceptance of UKHO's digital nautical publications or provided guidance on their use, we have listed it in the table below.

Important notes:​

• ​​​FSAs who accept UKHO's digital nautical publications, but have not issued any specific requirements, may not be listed​​
  




• If it is not clear whether a FSA accepts UKHO's digital nautical publications as satisfying carriage requirements then shipping companies should contact their FSA or the appropriate RO​
