Hydrography for inland waterways discussed during visit to Bolivia

The IHO paid a high level visit to the Plurinational State of Bolivia on 5 and 6 September, during which hydrographic services for inland waterways were discussed. The landlocked nation borders on several lakes, including Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, and also has rivers which form part of the Amazon Basin. These play a vital role in the transport of people and goods in the region.

How to succeed in the Future World of Work

TFT

Training for Trainers Programme (TFT) The TFT is designed to prepare trainers in hydrographic related subjects and will be exposed to teaching methodology and teaching material development. The trainer will then deliver specific training programmes in their own countries, in their mother tongue and using their expertise. The TFT is currently focusing on hydrographic surveying, nautical charting and Maritime Safety Information (MSI). It had been successfully run within the East Asia Hydrographic Commission (EAHC) and is now expanded to the global IHO community.

ENC Data Protection

Introduction The IHO Data Protection Scheme defines security constructs and operating procedures that must be followed by Data Servers (providers of data) and Data Clients (systems that use the data). The purpose of data protection scheme is to provide: 1. Piracy Protection: i.e. to prevent unauthorised use of data by encrypting the ENC information. 2. Selective Access: i.e. to restrict access to ENC information to only those cells that a customer has been licenced for. 3. Authentication: i.e to provide assurance that the ENC data has come from approved sources
