The Revised Strategic Plan of the IHO

Goal 1: Evolving hydrographic support for safety and ef? ciency of maritime navigation, undergoing profound transformation

Targets SPI (measure for success) 1.1 Deliver standards for hydrographic 1.1.1 Percentage of Member States having operationalized production and distribu- data and speci? cations of hydrographic tion of hydrographic data products and services based on IHO Universal Hydrographic products; support their regular produc- Data Model (S-100), under an implementation framework of coordination and agreed tion; and coordinate regional and global timelines (2026: 100%).

services for their provision. 1.1.2 By 2026 the revised regulations for International Charts and Chart speci? ca- tions (S-4) enables production of of? cial paper charts based 100% on the content of

ENCs, as provided for in the IHO standards.

1.1.3 Number of hydrographic data products and services based on Universal Hydro- graphic Data Model cater for the new requirements: autonomous shipping, reduction of emission.

1.2 Develop standards, speci? cations 1.2.1 Percentage of hydrographic data products and services based on S-100 model and guidelines in the areas of data as- are covered by IHO standards, speci? cations and guidelines on cyber security (2026: surance, including cyber security and 100%).

data quality assessment. 1.2.2 Percentage of navigationally signi? cant areas (e.g. charted traf? c separation schemes, anchorages, channels) for which the adequacy of the hydrographic knowl- edge is assessed through the use of appropriate quality indicators (2026:100%).

Goal 2: Increasing the use of hydrographic data for the bene? t of society

Targets SPI (measure for success) 2.1 Build a portal to support and promote 2.1.1 Number of hits downloading data/information from the portal.

2.2 Promote new tools and methods to 2.2.1 Percentage of adequately surveyed area per coastal state.

2.3 Apply UN shared guiding principles 2.3.1 Number of HOs reporting success applying the principles in their national con- for geospatial information management texts (2026: 70%). in order to ensure interoperability and ex- tended use of hydrographic data in com- bination with other marine-related data.

Goal 3: Participating actively in international initiatives related to the knowledge and the sustainable use of the Ocean

Targets SPI (measure for success) 3.1 Improve existing capacity building 3.1.1 Percentage of Coastal States are capable and forward marine safety informa- strategy and programmes, and collabo- tion (MSI) according to the joint IMO/IHO/WMO manual on MSI (2026 90%).
