PREFACE
PROFILE OF THE INTERNATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC ORGANIZATION
Background
The International Hydrographic Organization is an intergovernmental organization

whose members are the governments of coastal states. Established in 1921, the Organization
provides a forum for the improvement of services to marine navigation through the discussion and
resolution of hydrographic issues at the international level, and assists member governments to
deliver these services in the most cost effective way through their national hydrographic offices.
The IHO is governed by an international convention which has been signed by 81 Member States
[April 2012].
Rationale
National hydrographic offices provide services to assist the safe and efficient
navigation of ships. The principal service is the provision of nautical information, including
nautical charts, Notices to Mariners, sailing directions, data for integrated navigation systems and
other products and services. The provision of accurate and up to date charts offers significant
economic and commercial benefits through facilitation of maritime trade and other marine
activities. It also helps to prevent accidents which may result in the loss of life and property and
in pollution of the marine environment.
Because navigation is an international activity it is necessary to have a means of co-

ordinating the work of national agencies and of standardizing products and services, in order to
provide an effective world-wide service for Mariners. This is the rationale for the IHO.
Mission
The mission of the IHO is to ensure the provision of adequate and timely
hydrographic information for world-wide marine navigation and other purposes, through the co-
ordination of the endeavours of national hydrographic offices.
Objectives
The Objectives of the IHO are set down in Article II of the Convention. It is the object
of the Organization to bring about :
[a] The co-ordination of the activities of national hydrographic offices;
(b] The greatest possible uniformity in nautical charts and documents;

13
[c] The adoption of reliable and efficient methods of carrying out and exploiting
hydrographic surveys;
[d] The development of the sciences in the field of hydrography and the
techniques employed in descriptive oceanography.
Working Arrangements
In order to achieve its objectives the IHO runs a number of programmes related to
technical assistance, standards and publications. The work of these programmes is progressed
through a series of committees and working groups, and through close links with other
international organizations.
