IHO NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Lessons learned from CHART Course The course allowed me to acquire new skills that enable me to improve nautical products of my country. The course allowed me to meet people from different countries with whom I made friends and now we can work together on different projects or help each other. In the course I realized that in many occasions the Hydrographic Offices face the same problems, so it is easier to solve them in group.
IHO NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Suggestion for the future Maintain the financing of the CHART Project or similar to enhance the skills in nautical cartography and data assessment. Create a database in which the most relevant projects of alumni are shown, so it can serve as an example/guide for other countries. Try to reach the largest number of IHO member countries so they can have trained staff in nautical cartography and thus ensure better standardization of nautical charts.
