5th EXTRAORDINARY INTERNATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC CONFERENCE
5ème CONFERENCE HYDROGRAPHIQUE INTERNATIONALE EXTRAORDINAIRE
Where does the IHO Capacity
Building programme fit in?
by Thomas Dehling
Chairman CBSC
Why do we need Capacity Building
in Hydrography?
1. Need for development

Developing environment, growing demands, new techniques
2. Need for co-operation
3. Need for assistance

Assessment, training, financial support
How can we do CB in Hydrography?
Where does IHO CB fit in?

How to describe Capacity Building
In the IHO, capacity building is defined as the
process by which the organization
 assesses the status of current arrangements
and
 assists States to achieve sustainable
development and improvement in their ability
to meet hydrographic, cartographic and
maritime safety obligations.
Capacity Building Vision
To provide strategic guidance for IHO capacity
building to ensure the optimum contribution
 to safety of life at sea,
 to the protection of the
environment and
 to national economic
development.
Capacity Building Strategy
Objectives:
 assess hydrographic surveying, nautical charting
and nautical information status in nations and
regions where hydrography is developing
 establish and maintain close relationships with
national agencies and international organizations,
to identify funding and technical assistance
 cooperate with Regional Hydrographic
Commissions
PHASES OF DEVELOPMENT OF HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYING AND NAUTICAL
CHARTING CAPABILITY
Phases of Development
National Activity
•
Phase 1
Collection and circulation of nautical
information, necessary to maintain
existing charts and publications up to
date
•
•
•
•
•
Phase 2
Creation of a surveying capability to
conduct:
•
Coastal projects
•
Offshore projects
•
•
•
•
•
•
Phase 3
Produce paper charts, ENC and
publications independently
•
•
Form National Maritime Safety Committee or National
Hydrographic Committee
Create/improve current infrastructure to collect and
circulate information
Strengthen links with charting authority to enable
updating of charts and publications
Minimal training needed
Strengthen links with NAVAREA Coordinator to enable
the promulgation of safety information
Establish capacity to enable surveys of ports and their
approaches
Maintain adequate aids to navigation
Build capacity to enable surveys in support of coastal
and offshore areas
Build capacity to set up hydrographic databases to
support the work of the NMSC/NHC
Provide basic geospatial data via MSDI
Requires funding for training & equipment or contract
survey
The need shall be thoroughly assessed. Requires high
investment for production, distribution and updating
Alternatively, bi-lateral agreements for charting can
provide easier solutions in production and distribution
(of ENC through RENCs) and rewards.
Further development of MSDI
Phase 1
Collection and circulation of nautical information,
necessary to maintain existing charts and
publications up to date
National activity:
• Form National Maritime Safety Committee or
National Hydrographic Committee
• Create/improve current infrastructure to collect and
circulate information
• Strengthen links with charting authority to enable
updating of charts and publications
• Minimal training needed
• Strengthen links with NAVAREA Coordinator to
enable the promulgation of safety information
Phase 2

- Coastal projects
- Offshore project

their approaches
• Maintain adequate aids to navigation
• Build capacity to enable surveys in support of coastal
and offshore areas

updating
• Alternatively, bi-lateral agreements for charting can
provide easier solutions in production and distribution
(of ENC through RENCs) and rewards.
• Further development of MSDI
Priority Settings
Long term objectives:
 Phase 1 for all Countries with navigable
waters;
 National plan for Phase 2 and 3;
 Develop ‘country profiles’ to measure the state
of hydrography in every coastal state.
Priority Settings
Evaluation of submissions (procedure 4):
 Phase 1, 2 and 3;
 Number of States benefitted;
 External funding;
 Neediness, according to the GDP;
 Priority within RHC;
 Potential for success from the IHB viewpoint;
 Discount for recent similar activities;
 General importance of CB in the region
Delivering programmes
There is a broad variety of activities
 High level visits
 Technical visits
 Short courses
 Seminars, Workshops
 CAT A and B courses
 Technical assistance
 Involvement in comprehensive projects
Delivering programmes
Training is a very important part of the IHO CB.
The methodologies and the means of
cooperation with training facilities play an
important role in the success of funded trainings.
 priority for Maritime Safety Information (MSI),
 CAT A and B – depending on funding, MS only
 Training for the trainer (TFT),
 Standardization of trainings
 Investigation of blended and e-learning.
IHO CB doesn´t work in isolation
The CBSC works closely together with
stakeholders to find a broad basis for the
cooperation for the benefit of the IHO CB
Strategy.
 Nations support, namely ROK and Japan
 international and regional organizations,
 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs),
 Industry and academia
