In accordance with the purpose of the MoU, the IHO-NF CHART (Cartography, Hydrography and Related Training) Project started in 2014 as a continuation of the previous Category B courses funded by the Nippon Foundation, aimed at developing and promoting human capacity building of technical personnel in nautical cartography mainly in developing countries. References B and C provided information on the most recent training conducted under the terms of the CHART Project which was successfully completed in December 2014. 2. A coordination meeting comprising representatives from the Japan Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department (JHOD), the UKHO and the IHB was held in Taunton, UK on 15 January to review the last course and to discuss the details of the next course to be conducted under the CHART Project. 3. The next course in Marine Cartography and Data Assessment will take place at the UKHO from 7 September to 18 December. A one-week pre-learning module will be conducted prior to the course. The course will consist of five modules, each module varying from two to five weeks in length. The summary of the course programme is provided in Annex A. 4.
