The Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is a marine navigation system operating at frequencies of 283.5–325 kHz, which is now the primary method for locating vessels in coastal shipping, as well as hydrography and mapping systems worldwide. Its positioning accuracy is determined by the following: the pseudorange error to Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, the age of pseudorange corrections, and the value of the Horizontal Dilution Of Precision (HDOP), which, in terms of accuracy, is crucial in positioning using GPS satellites. In 2020, the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) introduced a new (the highest) order of hydrographic surveys, i.e., the Exclusive Order, which requires a positioning system to provide an accuracy of 1 m (p = 0.95). The aim of this article is to provide an answer to the question as to whether the maritime DGPS system, whose positioning accuracy is constantly increasing with that of the GPS system, fulfils the requirements for the hydrographic surveys of harbours. To this end, an extensive experimental study on the maritime DGPS system, involving a total of nearly 3.5 million fixes, was conducted. Statistical analyses showed that when ensuring the HDOP values range from 0.8 to 1.4, the DGPS system can be used in hydrographic surveys of harbours.
