Abstract
    Following international agreements, the Hydrographic Service of the Royal Netherlands Navy is in the process of changing the Chart Datum in its products from Mean Lower Low Water Spring (MLLWS) to Lowest Astronomical Tides (LAT). LAT is in general a level 2 to 3 decimetres below the level of MLLWS. As a result, depths in nautical charts will decrease. Tidal height predictions will increase with the same amount. The transition in the products is expected to take several years.
