I did, actually, call them up to ask them what they call themselves in English. The answer they gave is the one I submitted. They may well BE a subdivision of the Mapping Authority, but they sure don\'t feel that way - and \"Norwegian Hydrographic Services\" is the name they prefer to be known by. That makes other opinions rather moot, or what? Vedis\' points are well earned, though.

Comment: ""Services" would be what they offer. But I agree on the term Hydrography. Cheers!"
