Data Application

Via the link below you are able to download an application form in order to apply for hydrographic data. This application form is specifically meant for those who want to obtain a limited amount of data, for example for educational or research purposes or to publish in a magazine or via the Internet. Commercial companies and governmental institutions that want to obtain hydrographic data to incorporate into their own products are requested to contact the Copyright Manager via info@hydro.nl (telephone: +31 70 316 28 24). They will be sent a more extensive application form.

To order publications (charts, books, NLTides) of the Netherlands Hydrographic Service you cannot use this form. These are supplied through our various agencies (list available on the web page Agents and in our Catalogue HP7).

In most cases a fee will be charged for the supply of the hydrographic data. This will be calculated according to your application and the pricing offer will be sent to you within 10 working days.

In order to speed up the process of your application you are kindly requested to fill in the form as completely as possible.

You can send the completed form digitally as an attachment to an e-mail to:
