Activities
By surveying main ports and watercourses in detail and producing nautical charts, we support vessels’ safe navigation and people’s marine activities.
Also, we produce the electronic navigational chart (ENC), marine navigation.
We collect scientific information so as to hold a dominant position in the competition for expanding the maritime territory and securing resources, including the EEZ and the continental shelf.
We also manage the territorial base point, the standard of delimitation with neighboring countries, and
promote the international use of the East Sea and the international registration of Korean marine geographical names.
