The International Hydrographic Organization is an intergovernmental consultative and technical organization that was established in 1921 to support safety of navigation and the protection of the marine environment. The object of the Organization is to bring about: The coordination of the activities of national hydrographic offices The greatest possible uniformity in nautical charts and documents The adoption of reliable and efficient methods of carrying out and exploiting hydrographic surveys

Traditional approach to Hydrographic data One primary user, the mariner The primary products: - Paper chart - ENC - S57 data - Publications - Updates of products SOLAS (ECDIS - ENC) IHO: - standardisation - harmonisation - recommendations SOLAS: Chapter V regulation Nautical charts and nautical publications to plan and display the ship’s route for the intended voyage and to plot and monitor positions throughout the voyage; an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) may be accepted as meeting the chart carriage requirements of this subparagraph; Chapter V regulation 27 Nautical charts and nautical publications, such as sailing directions, lists of lights, notices to mariners, tide tables and all other nautical publications necessary for the intended voyage, shall be adequate and up to date.

From Maritime to Marine Development

ENC Coverage:

The Maritime Development Navigation: Charts: Ships: e-Navigation

Expectations for development within the marine/maritime field: Increased activity with multiple uses Multiple stakeholders and users with demands for the same area Major external impact from “new” organisations MSDI Geo Data of the Sea Increased demands for coordination and planning within the maritime area Increased demands for coordination of activities on land Increased demands for coordination with neighbouring countries Not doing anything will not be an option

Hydrography provides the fundamental backdrop for almost everything that happens in, on or under the sea

IHO - MARINE SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE WORKING GROUP (MSDIWG ) Objectives of the IHO MSDIWG: - Identify the Hydrographic Community inputs to National Spatial Data Infrastructures (NSDI). - Monitor national and international SDI activities - Promote the use of IHO standards and member state marine data in SDI activities. - Liaise, as appropriate, with other relevant technical bodies - Propose any Technical and/or Administrative Resolutions that may be required to reflect IHO involvement in the support of SDI. - Identify actions and procedures that the IHO might take to contribute to the development of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) and / or MSDI in support of Member States.

15 Regional Hydrographic Commissions

Hydrography supports: Safety of navigation Protection of the marine environment National infrastructure development Coastal zone management Marine exploration Resource exploitation – minerals, fishing, energy Maritime boundary delimitation (UNCLOS, others) Maritime defence and security Disaster prevention and response

MSDI - Data

Hydrographic data and its role in MSDI Raster charts as background map ENC - S57 data as additional layer Hydrographic data sets and data infrastructure

Hydrographic data sets The legal rights of the owner of data sets The need for a national/regional/international governance model Interoperability can only be ensured through clear agreements between contributors National security issues National constructions differ in terms of rights and responsibilities regarding marine data. A clear definition of hydrographic data sets and key data set

The MSDIWG Work programme The following work programme has been developed with a view towards a five-year horizon. It includes four proposed initiatives for the MSDIW. Identify and promote national and regional best practices: for land-sea integration for cross-border integration Review the appropriateness of existing standards for the provision of the maritime components of spatial data infrastructures Develop content for an MSDI training course Maintain MSDI reference documentation on the IHO website Maintain and extend Publication IHO MSDI C-17 Ensure that MSDI is a standing agenda item for RHCs’ meetings
