The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has published its Annual Report and Accounts for 2025 to 2026.
The report outlines performance against the corporate plan and includes sustainability, governance and financial reports for the year.
David English, Director of Finance & Corporate Services notes:
Whether supporting defence, enabling maritime security or helping ships navigate safely around the world, this year’s report demonstrates how the UKHO continues to deliver real value for the UK and for our customers and partners globally. The report shows that we are set up well to invest to continue that value into the future.
On a personal note, I am very grateful to all those who worked very hard to support the preparation of this year’s Annual Report and to have the opportunity to dedicate the report in memory of Andrew Millard, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
