ANNOUNCEMENT AND GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS

A. General Regulations of the IHO, Articles 3 to 10 - International Hydrographic Conferences
B. IHO CL 45/2015 dated 19 June - Dates for the XIXth International Hydrographic Conference /
1st Session of the IHO Assembly
C. IHO CL 16/2016 dated 29 March - Protocol of Amendments to the Convention on the IHO - 47
of 48 Approvals Achieved
D. IHO CL 17/2016 dated 31 March - Call for Submissions to update the IHO Strategic Plan
Dear Hydrographer,
Conference / Assembly Announcement
1. In accordance with Reference A and as announced in Reference B, the XIXth International
Hydrographic Conference / 1st Session of the IHO Assembly will be held in Monaco from Monday 24
April to Friday 28 April 2017.
2. The meeting of the Finance Committee and the meeting of the Heads of Delegations will take
place on Sunday afternoon, 23 April 2017 at the International Hydrographic Bureau (IHB).
3. The Conference is the most important decision-making body of the IHO (Article IV of the
Convention on the IHO), and it is essential that all IHO Member States are represented not only to
review the past activities of the Organization, but also to adopt an effective and realistic Work
Programme and Budget for the next five years (see Note1).
4. The Provisional Conference / Assembly Programme is provided in Annex A to this Circular
Letter.
Possibility of an Assembly
5. In the event that the required majority of Approvals of the Protocol of Amendments to the
Convention on the IHO are received by the Government of Monaco before 23 January 2017, the XIXth
International Hydrographic Conference will, instead, take place as the First Session of the Assembly
of the IHO. Taking into account that 47 of the minimum number of 48 Member States have now
formally approved the Protocol of Amendments to the Convention on the IHO (see Reference C), the
possibility of the First Session of the Assembly is considered to be very likely. The timetable and
format of the Assembly would be generally similar to the Conference, however, there may be some
consequential changes required to take into account the new regulations that would then be in force.
Any such changes will be notified to Member States and observer organizations as soon as is
practicable.
Conference / Assembly Format and Programme
6. The Conference / Assembly will be held in the Auditorium Rainier III in Monaco. Registration
will take place all day on Sunday 23 April 2017. Other meetings and events which will be held during
the Conference / Assembly period are as follows:
a. The Finance Committee will meet on Sunday 23 April 2017 from 14:00 to 17:30 at the IHB
to review and discuss the finance and budget proposals. Because of the limited space
available, it is proposed that a maximum of two representatives from each Member State
attend the meeting.
b. A meeting and briefing intended to be exclusively for the Heads of Delegation of Member
States will be held on Sunday 23 April 2017 from 18:00 to 20:00 at the IHB.
c. The Opening Ceremony for the Conference / Assembly will take place on Monday
morning, 24 April 2017. New Member States that have joined the Organization since the
5th Extraordinary International Hydrographic Conference will be invited to present their flag
on this occasion.
d. As usual, Industry and Member States will be invited to mount exhibitions of their work
and their activities in two separate areas within the Auditorium Rainier III. The exhibitions
will open on Monday, 24 April 2017 following the Opening Ceremony and will remain
open until Friday 28 April 2017, closing at 12:00.
e. The Election of Directors (see Note2) will be held on Friday morning, 28 April 2017.
7. Other meetings involving Member States can be organized during the Conference / Assembly
period if required. Chairs of the relevant bodies wishing to convene such meetings are invited to inform
the IHB, by 31 December 2016, of their needs in terms of preferred dates and expected number of
participants. This will enable the IHB to make the necessary arrangements.
8. The Conference / Assembly will meet in plenary session to examine each of the three reports
corresponding to the Work Programmes of the IHO, together with any proposals submitted for the
consideration of the Conference/Assembly, including the revision of the IHO Strategic Plan (see
Reference D) and the 2018-2022 IHO Work Programme and Budget (see Note3). Any Proposals
should refer to one of the three IHO Programmes. Topical issues related to the Programmes may also be
considered, as appropriate.
9. Reports will be prepared by the IHB, based on information available to the IHB, and input from
the Chairs of the IHO Committees – Hydrographic Standards and Services Committee (HSSC), Inter-
Regional Coordination Committee (IRCC) and Finance Committee (FC).
Submission of Proposals to the Conference / Assembly
10. In order to follow the timetable indicated in Rule 14 of the Rules of Procedure for International
Hydrographic Conferences, any proposal or related submission for consideration should be submitted not
later than 15 August 2016 (see Note 4).
11. All submissions related to the Conference / Assembly will be collated and translated in to the
official languages by the IHB, when required, and made available to Member States in both English and
French.
Planned Conference / Assembly Circular Letters
12. Annex B contains a list of the Conference / Assembly Circular Letters that are planned to be
issued together with target dates for action (see Note 5). Member States are requested to observe the
deadlines for replies so that Conference / Assembly preparations can proceed as smoothly as possible.
Member States’ Delegations and Registration
13. It is very important for the IHB to know as early as possible the number and names of
representatives who will attend the Conference / Assembly in order to facilitate logistics and the
configuration of the Conference / Assembly venue. For the first time, registration will be available
online via the IHO website (www.iho.int) at:
(Home > International Hydrographic Conference > Registration for Conference / Assembly)
from 1 September 2016 to 1 March 2017. Member States are invited to register as early as possible.
14. Member States that are not able to register online should forward a list of their delegates,
specifying the Head of the Delegation, to the IHB (by e-mail:
[email protected] or by fax: +377 93 10 81 40)
not later than 1 March 2017 using the Delegates’ Registration Form provided in Annex C or the Excel-
based form which will be available at the above web address.
15. Please note that passport and visa requirements are the responsibility of each delegate. The
necessary formalities must be completed before travelling to Monaco. Any delegates who may require
personalized invitations for visa application purposes should contact the IHB. There are no border-
crossing formalities between France and Monaco, but visas or other valid entry qualifications will be
necessary to enter France.
Hotel Accommodation
16. All participants must reserve their own accommodation. A list of hotels in the area that have been
used by delegates in the past is provided at Annex D. Information is also available on the IHB website:
www.iho.int and through the following web sites for hotel reservations: (http://www.monte-
carlo.mc/index-hotels_monaco-fr.html) and (www.booking.com)
17. Hotel space will be at a premium as there are several other events taking place in Monaco at the
same time as the Conference / Assembly. Bookings should therefore be made well in advance of the
Conference / Assembly. Member States are strongly recommended to make hotel reservations as soon
as possible. Any Member States requiring assistance with hotel reservations may contact Ms Mireille
Mollet at:
[email protected] or by telephone +377 93 10 81 36.
Conclusion
18. The Conference / Assembly is the most important decision-making body of the IHO, and it is
essential that all IHO Member States are represented to consider the proposals and reports that will be
submitted and to adopt appropriate Resolutions. We look forward to seeing you in Monaco for this
major event in April 2017.
On behalf of the Directing Committee,
Yours sincerely,
Robert WARD
President

Eesti osalemine IHO XIX konverentsil / 1. assambleel
Eelmine, 5-es Rahvusvahelise Hüdrograafiaorganisatsiooni erakorraline konverents toimus Monacos
6.-10. oktoobril 2014. Konverentsil osales üle 250 delegaadi IHO 66-st liikmesriigist, 40 delegaati
mitteliikmesriikidest ja 35 vaatlejat rahvusvahelistest organisatsioonidest.
Tänaseks on IHO-s 85 liikmesriiki. IHO XIX konverents/1. assamblee toimub 24.-28. aprillil 2017
Monacos. Kas toimub konverents või assamblee sõltub sellest kas 24. jaanuariks 2017 on kinnitanud
IHO uue põhikirja 48 liikmesriiki (IHO kirjaga 07.06.2016 nr CL 28/2016 teatati, et on olemas
informatsioon 48 riigi kinnituse kohta IHO põhikirja muutmiseks). Konverentsil/assambleel tuleb
arutlusele liikmesriikide ettepanekud seonduvalt IHO regulatsioonide kaasajastamisega ja büroo
tegevuse korraldamisega organisatsiooni tegevuse tõhustamiseks. Antakse hinnang organisatsiooni
viimaste aastate (2014-2016) tegevusele ja kavandatakse lähiaastate töid (2018-2022). Olulisema
osana kuulatakse ära IHO komisjonide ja töörühmade aruanded ning kinnitatakse organisatsiooni
2016.a finantsaruanne ning 2018.a finantsplaan. Toimub ka IHO juhtorganite valimine. Üksikasjalise
ülevaate konverentsil arutusele tuleva kohta annab IHO veebileht selle aasta sügiseks:
http://www.iho.int
Konverentsi/assamblee raames toimub näitus väljapanekutega hüdrograafiliste mõõdistuste ja
kartograafiaalase tehnoloogia valdkonnast, mis annab suunad tulevikuks.
Ettepanek on saata Monaco-sse nelja liikmeline delegatsioon:
T.Kivimäe – Eesti esindaja IHO-s, HNT juhataja
P.Väling – HO juhataja
T.Siilanarusk – KO juhataja
O.Heinlo – KO juhataja asetäitja
Valdkonna juhtide osavõtt on sisuliselt möödapääsmatu, sest tegemist on kõige olulisema sündmusega
rahvusvahelises hüdrograafias ja seega on kohal kõik võtmefiguurid. Nendega arutlemine ja
kogemuste vahetamine on oluline mõistmaks valdkonna arengut. Samuti on seal kohal kõik
olulisemad tegijad hüdrograafia/kartograafia tehnoloogia valdkonnast, seega tekib ajutine ülemaailmne
kompetentsikeskus ja määratakse suunad tulevikuks. Konverentsi/assamblee õhkkonnas tekib
võimalus saada vastused valdkonna sõlmküsimustes ja mõjutada arenguid nii, et ka väikeriikide huvid
on esindatud ja kaitstud. Eesti jaoks tähendab see jätkuvat rahvusvaheliselt kõrgelt hinnatud
navigatsiooniohutuse tagamist ja arendamist nii, et sihtriigina olla atraktiivne kõigile veesõidukite
liikidele.
Toetan KO ettepanekut osaleda erandkorras kahekesi. Toimub põlvkonna vahetus, kus Tõnis
Siilanarusk lõpetab ja Olavi Heinlo võtab tegemiste juhtimise üle. Kongress/assamblee on
kokkuvõtvaks ürituseks Tõnis Siilanaruskile, kes peale rohkem kui 20-ne aastast aktiivset osalemist
IHO töögruppides lõpetab sellega tegevuse. Olavi Heinlo jätkab järjepidevuse tagamiseks selles
valdkonnas, eriti mis puudutab uuele hüdrograafia ruumiandmete standardile S100-le üleminekut.
Konverentsil/assambleel on asjakohane võimalus kontaktide personaalseks üleandmiseks, mis tagab
T.Siilanaruski poolt loodud sidemete ja seeläbi Eestile vajaliku oskusteabe kättesaadavuse
maailmatasandil. Personaalne suhtlemine, seda eriti väikeriigi esindajana on hindamatu väärtusega ja
seeläbi saavutatu on taganud Eestile kartograafide koolitused kõrgeimal tasemel, milleks eelarveliselt
meil kunagi omi vahendid ei jätkuks.
