Agenda Item 06.1G RHC Report to IRCC13 Report to IRCC13 VTC, 23 VTC, 23 25 June 2021 25 June 2021 By Rear Admiral Carlos Ventura Soares EAtHC Chair (Portugal) IRCC13 IRCC13-06.1G VTC, 23 25 June, 2021
The The EAtHC EAtHC 2018: EAtHC 15. EAtHC every two years 2020: EAtHC 16 postponed due to the COVID. VTC intersessional meeting (Sep2020) 2021: EAtHC 16 plenary conference, 29 September to 01 October 2021 (Hybrid), preceded by MSI & MSDI Seminar. 27 and 28 September 2021, (VTC). EAtHC statutes under revision (target: approval in the next conference) EAtHC CSB/Seabed 2030 coordinator already assigned 26 EAtHC Costal States but only 7 IHO Members IRCC13 VTC, 23 25 June, 2021
Work on Strategic Plan and Gap Analysis (top 3 aspects) Work on Strategic Plan and Gap Analysis (top 3 aspects) Gap Analysis will be discuss in the next EAtHC meeting work in progress Goal 1: Evolving the hydrographic support for safety and efficiency of maritime navigation, undergoing profound transformation Planning and capacity building for S-100 implementation CB Seminars, E-learning, etc. PCA s role Some areas inadequately surveyed High variability in data quality (age, acquisition methods and techniques) Need for an MSDI plan/roadmap aligned with UN-GGIM IGIF Goal 2: Increasing the use of hydrographic data for the benefit of society Goal 3: Participating actively in international initiatives related to the knowledge and the sustainable use of the Effectiveness Capacity Building Improve knowledge: EMODNet, DCBD, SEABED 2030, etc. Communication strategy Ocean IRCC13 VTC, 23 25 June, 2021
Important Findings (RHC top 3 challenges) Important Findings (RHC top 3 challenges) Recruitment of new IHO Member States: Awareness on the importance of Hydrography is increasing (Lack of communication still exists) Implementation of MSDI Regional capabilities/resources; MSDI questionnaire sent to members and MSI & MSDI Seminar planned to 2021 Limited capacity and resources to meet the requirements of the S-100 implementation plan 2022 Seminar (not funded yet): Relationship with NAVAREA II and PCAs Risk assessment Survey specifications initiatives: Lack of IRCC13 VTC, 23 25 June, 2021
Proposals Proposals Take note of the EAtHC Report Increase Capacity Building (VTC Seminars open to all, E-Learning, etc.) Need to establish guidance in transition and support efforts S-57 to S-101 Conversion: Ok it will be defined by specifications (working groups and software application's) Region Implementation: Guidance is needed take in account EAtHC particularities SPI gap analysis need guidance (guidelines) Several regions Different gap analysis approaches Necessary guidelines Find ways to share bathymetric data (namely scientific cruises) IRCC13 VTC, 23 25 June, 2021
