What is Hydrography ?

Hydrography involves measuring the depth of the water and fixing the position of all the navigational hazards that lie on the seafloor, such as wrecks and rocks. This is done mainly with specialised ships and boats operating echo sounders and sonars, but also using survey aircraft fitted with lasers. Useful information can also be derived sometimes from satellite observations. Hydrography also involves measuring the tide and the currents. The most well-known application of hydrographic information is for making the nautical charts that all mariners use for navigation. Hydrographic information is required for the safe, efficient and sustainable conduct of every human activity that takes place in, on or under the sea.

Smart Navigation Moves Closer to Reality: Completion of Phase 1 of the S-100 Implementation

With the operational release of standards S-124 Navigational Warnings and S-128 Catalogue of Nautical Products, Phase 1 of S-100 Standards implementation has now been completed, marking a major step in the modernisation of navigation. Products and services using these specifications can be updated in near real-time, directly supporting the enhancement of navigational safety and facilitating on-board data management. Data services conforming to these standards are now ready for production and integration into navigation systems such as the S-100 ECDIS.
