What Does NP Stand For?

NP stands for Neap Tide Nautical Charts Neptunium

NP, or Neap Tide Nautical Charts Neptunium, refers to specialized maritime charts designed for navigating during neap tides, which occur when the difference between high and low tides is at its minimum. These charts incorporate detailed hydrological data and navigational information, providing mariners with essential insights for safe passage and effective route planning in coastal and shallow waters. The term "Neptunium" symbolizes the connection to Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, reflecting the charts' focus on oceanographic understanding and navigation precision.
