This text discusses aspects of offshore surveying. It provides the algorithms necessary to develop complete software suites, and gives a large number of quality control criteria. The text brings together information on spheroids, datums and projections; gives a complete listing of UKOOA P/190 and P/291 formats for data transfer; stands as a field guide to the calibration of radio navigation systems and compasses, acoustic and laser measuring devices, and can also be used as a field manual for quality control of all aspects of offshore surveying; and lists typical specifications for inclusion in survey contracts.
