Introduction
The purpose of IHO Publication C-55 is to provide base data for
governments and supporting international organizations as they
consider the best means by which to implement responsibilities set
out in Chapter V, Regulation 9, of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)
Convention. It also informs IHO input to the United Nations Global
Maritime Assessment.
Hydrography and Maritime Activities

The significance of hydrographic effort to safe use of the sea,
national economic prosperity, and protection of the marine
environment is elaborated in IHO Publication M-2. That publication
identifies three core capabilities, the status of which is assessed in the
three sections of the C-55 data-base:
1. Hydrographic Surveying
Status of hydrographic survey of all navigable waters,
including internal waters, out to the limits of the EEZ.
2. Nautical Charting
Status of nautical charting within the limits of the EEZ.
3. Maritime Safety Information (MSI)
Navigational Information (S-53).
GMDSS Implementation (IMO Publication IG970E - GMDSS
Manual).

mers, la prospérité économique nationale et la protection du milieu
marin sont expliquées de manière détaillée dans la publication M-2
de l'OHI. Cette publication identifie trois capacités centrales dont
l'état est évalué dans les trois sections de la base de données de la
C-55:
1. Levés hydrographiques
Etat des levés hydrographiques de toutes les eaux navigables, y
compris des eaux intérieures, jusqu'aux limites de la ZEE.
2. Cartographie marine
Etat de la cartographie marine dans les limites de la ZEE.

Re-survey required

Notes Bangladesh waters in the Bay of Bengal are well surveyed. The navigational routes for international
Notes shipping are 100% surveyed and being resurveyed at regular intervals for necessary updates.The
Notas
coastal area of Bangladesh is very dynamic due to the presence of delta. As such, keeping the chart
scheme updated is a challenging task. Yet, the charts covering the navigational routes are re-surveyed
as and when required to accommodate changes.
Master plan There is an ongoing plan to improve the GMDSS infrastructure of Bangladesh. A project named "Establishment of Global
Maritime Distress and Safety System and Integrated Maritime Navigation System (EGIMNS)" is in progress. Under this project,
Plan cadre YES seven coastal radar stations including NAVTEX station will be installed in the coastal area of Bangladesh. The NAVTEX station is

Brazil - Paraguay, Tietê-Paraná Waterways, Patos Lagoon (C1)
Re-survey required

Notes Paraguay Waterway, Tietê-Paraná Waterway and Patos Lagoon have no deep water (> 200m).
Notes Re-survey required inside the Patos Lagoon, in the south of Brazil (between Porto Alegre harbour and
Notas
Rio Grande harbour), due to the large extension of the Lagoon and the difficulties of the logistics for
establishing systematic surveys there.
Surveys will be carried out under the implementation of the 3rd Brazilian Nautical Cartographic Plan.
The hydrographic survey for the new edition of the nautical chart 2132 (From Itapuã to Ponta do
Arado Velho) of the Guaíba River, began in 2020 and it is scheduled to end in 2022.

Notes Brazil has already published paper nautical charts and RNCs covering the Paraguay Waterway, the
Notes Tietê-Paraná Waterway and the Patos Lagoon.
Notas
The nautical cartography for the Paraguay Waterway is kept updated and every 3-4 years new editions
of the charts are issued.
The nautical cartography for the Tietê-Paraná Waterway was completed in 2011 and punctual updates
are published timely.
Nautical charts for both Waterways meet the requirements established by IHO.
Even with SOLAS navigation in the Patos Lagoon, its nautical cartography is referred to Local Datum.
Therefore, there's no ENC issued yet for the Patos Lagoon. In the next 4 years, 3 new nautical charts
for the Guaíba River are expected to be published. The new edition of the nautical chart 2133 (From
Ponta Grossa to Porto Alegre) is planned to be published in 2022.

Notes Status of Surveys:
Notes This section is more complex than 2018 because of the change in classification scheme. CHS now match the Classification in Annex A of the
Proposal for Review: Status of Hydrographic Surveying and Nautical Charting Worldwide, submitted by the United Kingdom and France.
Notas
There is a decrease in the 0-200m Adequately surveyed areas because CATZOC B is now split between "Adequate" and "Resurvey" areas based on
the 50m depth contour. CATZOC B above 50m is considered "Resurvey" and CATZOC B below 50m depth is considered "Adequate" This is
consistent for every region except inland waters.
There is an increase in all >200m Adequately surveyed areas because CATZOC C is now included in the "Adequate" classification below 200m
depth. This is consistent for every region.
There is an increase in the 0-200m "Resurvey" classification. This is due to the "Resurvey" classification now including CATZOC D and U.
Previously in 2018 CATZOC D and U were not used in any classifications. This is consistent for all regions.
Correspondingly, there has been an overall decrease in areas not surveyed in areas both above and below 200m depth. This is due to the inclusion of
CATZOC D and U in the study.
Supporting Notes:
1. Regional Boundaries (Canada-Atlantic, Canada-Pacific, Canada-Arctic and Canada-Inland Waters) were based on the regional boundaries used for
the production of ENC, RNC and INT charts.
2. Canadian shoreline and depths were derived from GEBCO 2014 30 arc-second grid retrieved January 22, 2019.
3. Inland waters comprising of the St. Lawrence Seaway and all five Great Lakes were included in these calculations.
4. The high proportion of inadequacy surveyed waters is predominately due to the large area of Arctic waters that are un-surveyed or covered by
frontier surveys only.
5. Ecotourism, climate change and resource development are increasing demand for surveys in Arctic and frontier areas.
6. Canadian shoreline and depths were derived from GEBCO 2014 30 arc-second grid retrieved on January 22, 2019.
7. Status of survey classifications were based on Annex A: SHOM C-55 CATZOC conversion table of the Proposal for Review of C-55: Status of
Hydrographic Surveying and Nautical Charting Worldwide, proposed by the United Kingdom and France. (2016) Doccument N. (CBSC16-08.3B)
Available from: https://www.iho.int/mtg_docs/com_wg/CBC/CBSC16/CBSC16-03B-Actions-CBSC15.pdf
8. Due to the change in Status of survey classifications from the previous year, large differences in statistics are expected
9. "Adequate", "Resurvey" and "No Survey" areas were classified using CATZOC survey data extracted from Canadian Hydrographic Service
database on April 11, 2019.

3. Shortfalls in areas needed by Ice navigation especially in the Bay of Bothnia.1. Special national
circumstances which influence the statistical break-down above (e.g. geographical factors such as
narrow continental shelf or fringing reefs, or constraints such as areas of unstable seabed which require
a routine resurvey programme):
Near shore and inland waters are geographically complex. Large areas in sea-area are affected by
postglacial land uplift.
All hydrographic surveys are being procured by national and EU procurement rules. Finnish
Hydrographic Office does not have any own hydrographic fleet.
Priority has been set to sea-areas, where commercial vessels sail based on the AIS-data.

Iraq (I)
Re-survey required

Notes 1. Iraq has a small coastline. It is dominated by two major waterways, the Shatt al Arab and Khawr az
Notes Zubayr. Sedimentation is prevalent in both, but particularly pronounced in the Shatt al Arab.
Notas
Maintenance dredging was stopped in the Shatt al Arab in 1980. A major dredging program in the
Khawr Abd Allah and Khawr Umm Qasr is all but finished and the post dredge survey is now
underway. In the Khawr az Zubayr dredging activity is currently being conducted to restore dredged
channels. Other hazards affecting both waterways are wrecks, destroyed bridges, unexploded
ordnance and strong tidal streams.
2. Ferries from UAE use the Shatt Al Arab to reach the ports of Abu Al Falus and Al Maqil.
3. Modern surveys have been completed for the two offshore oil terminals at Khawr al
Amaya and Al Basrah. The Khawr Abd Allah has been surveyed from No. 3 buoy to the port of Az
Zubayr. On the Shatt al Arab the areas of navigable water are reduced because of wrecks, and the
minimum expected depth at HW is 6-7m.

Notes 1. Iraq is generally well charted with the latest information appearing on the charts. The one significant
Notes gap is a larger scale chart of the final approaches to Umm Qasr. It is presently served only by a
Notas
1:50,000 chart; however, a new chart of 1:25,000 is underway. In addition, a new large scale chart of
the Khawr Abd Allah at 1:50,000 (with plan 1:25,000) is nearing completion. Both charts include
recent (2003 & 2004) MBES surveys of the main channel. However, current dredging operations have
rendered these surveys out of date.
2. In the Khawr Abd Allah, outside the main channel, much of the hydrography is derived from old
and imperfect surveys. No information was collected between 1990 and 2003, although data may be
held by Iran for its waters.

Notes This area is visited by a growing number of tourist vessels. LINZ has focused on charting the main
Notes maritime shipping routes, anchorages and landings.
Notas
LINZ has recently surveyed the anchorages at Cape Adare and Cape Hallett, the shipping route
between them and the offshore areas at Balleny Islands and Scott Island. The scientific vessel
Nathaniel B Palmer recently surveyed the approaches to McMurdo Station. This data has been
incorporated onto charts.
Other countries involved in charting in the Ross Sea Region include the United States, Italy and Korea.
Significant gaps in coverage:
There are significant gaps in the survey coverage at Cape Adare, Cape Hallett, Balleny Islands and the
approaches to McMurdo Station that require surveying to enable charting.
Large areas remain unsurveyed and are charted from random ships track soundings. The continuing
increase in the number of tourist vessels and their area of operation is a growing risk that is
internationally recognised. This creates greater requirements for surveying to enable charting.
The Antarctic Treaty Meeting of Experts (ATME) on Ship-bourne Tourism met in 2009. The purpose
of their meeting was to 'endeavour to accelerate consideration of matters relating to the management of
ship-bourne tourism in the Antarctic Treaty area and to provide recommendations'. The meeting
identified 'inaccurate charting' as a risk. Further surveying is required to enable accurate charting in
many areas.
LINZ has a prioritised ENC production schedule that includes small, medium and large scale ENCs for
this area.
