The Maritime Administration of Latvia (MAL) chart folio consists of 25 nautical paper charts, 19 of which are included in the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) International Chart Catalogue. These charts cover all waters of the Republic of Latvia and are compiled at different scales. When navigating, always use the largest scale nautical chart available for the relevant area.
The MAL prints nautical charts in their office using the Print on Demand (POD) system. When purchasing a nautical chart, the user receives the latest version of the selected chart with all updates included. After purchase, users must update the charts themselves according to the MAL publication Notices to Mariners, which is published monthly and available free of charge at www.lja.lv.
All navigation charts issued by MAL are in WGS84 Mercator Projection. Depths and heights in metres referred to Mean Sea Level in Baltic Sea Chart Datum BSCD 2000 (LAS-2000,5).
