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.
Major Milestone Achieved in Transition to Smart Navigation with Operational Editions of S-100 Standards
In a historic breakthrough for digital navigation, the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Member States have adopted the first set of operational standards within the S-100 framework. This decision paves the way for Coastal States to offer official products and services based on these standards, significantly advancing the field of maritime navigation. The adoption also has profound implications for ocean data collection and sea surveys, as these new products will require enhanced data in order to realize their full potential.
The S-100 framework is now operational
A significant step in the implementation of the S-100 ecosystem was officially achieved in January 2026, when the Phase 1 S-100 product specifications entered into force. Stakeholders can now access and use the operational version of these specifications in real-world environments.
Global hydrographic community grows with 100th country joining the IHO
The Republic of Kiribati has officially become the 100th Member State of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), marking a significant milestone for the global hydrographic community. This historic landmark opens up numerous benefits of being an IHO Member State, from helping carry out obligations under the SOLAS Convention, to enhancing safety of navigation, maritime security, fisheries management, economic growth, environmental protection, and climate resilience.
Ocean Decade S-100 Webinar
The IHO Universal Data Model S-100 is like lego blocks for data. This is how Secretary General Dr Mathias Jonas described S-100 during an IHO webinar organized as part of the Ocean Decade Laboratories “A Predicted Ocean”.
IHO 100 Years
The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) turned 100 on 21 June 2021, with an on-site celebration in Monaco which was broadcast live online.
The European Commission and the IHO celebrate 10 years of fruitful cooperation
On 6 May 2022, the European Commission and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) celebrated the Tenth Anniversary of the Memorandum of Understanding between the two Organizations at the headquarters of the European Union's DG Mare.
Empowering Women in Hydrography: A Transformative Three-Year Journey Towards Gender Equality
Like other disciplines within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), hydrography exhibits a gender imbalance, particularly in advanced career stages. Currently, just over 10% of the 99 Member States of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) have a female National Hydrographer. And while women represent roughly half the population, only 24.8% of them occupy leadership positions with national hydrographic offices. In today’s competitive world, organizations need qualified employees to help them achieve their objectives. By not tapping into half of the available talent pool, they could be missing out. Acknowledging this disparity, the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the Canadian Hydrographic Service collaboratively initiated a Canadian-funded, groundbreaking three-year project titled "Empowering Women in Hydrography," aimed at fostering gender equality in the field.
New IHO Council meets in Monaco
Representatives of IHO Member States discussed the future of digital data services and other priorities during the meeting of the new IHO Council. Taking place at the Secretariat in Monaco, the 30 countries sitting on Council met for the 1st time with the goal of coordinating the implementation of activities voted on during Assembly in May. The biggest topic of discussion was progress and next steps in the implementation of the Universal Digital Data Model, known as the S-100 framework.
