2013 Ministerial Declaration “ ADOPT ” ● HELCOM-BSHC Harmonised Re-survey Scheme 2013, with time schedule estimations and funding arrangements , ● bearing in mind that these are likely to be modified when new national needs or priorities arise; HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 7

2013 Ministerial Declaration “ FURTHER AGREED ” 14 (M). RECALLING the HELCOM Copenhagen 2001, Krakow 2007 and Moscow 2010 commitments on hydrographic re-survey and COMMENDING WITH APPRECIATION the subsequent substantial progress made in systematic re-surveying of major shipping routes and ports in the region according to the HELCOM- BSHC Re-survey Scheme aimed at ensuring that safety of navigation in the Baltic Sea region is not endangered by inadequate source information; HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 8

2013 Ministerial Declaration “ FURTHER AGREED ” 15 (M). WE AGREE to take actions to ensure the completion of the re-surveys for areas used by navigation (CAT I and II) within the time schedules estimated in the 2013 Re-survey Scheme, to promote wider use of accurate and reliable depth information by e.g. developing existing and/or new products including an enhanced and freely accessible Baltic Sea Depth Model, and to foster CAT III re-surveys of other areas not primarily for safety of navigation purposes, e.g. for environmental protection; HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 9

Future Actions related to re-surveys

Future Actions related to re-surveys BSHC and the Baltic Sea Hydrographic Offices have several actions to ensure the completion of the re-surveys for areas used by navigation (CAT I and II), to promote wider use of accurate and reliable depth information, and to foster CAT III re-surveys. Below are listed some of the actions which are on-going or planned. ● Re-surveys are going-on ● Finalizing the Motorways of the Sea (FAMOS project proposal) ● Joint European Mapping programme initiative (EU DG MARE) ● BSHC Bathymetric Database ● BSHC LIDAR Seminar 2014 ● BSHC Harmomisation actions ● Re-survey MWG to continue ● Promote BSHC co-operation (Articles to IHR) ● Reporting to EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 11

FAMOS - Finalizing the Motorways of the Sea Re-surveys are continuing, mainly with national resources. The EU TEN-T MonaLisa project 2011-2013 is almost finished and remarkable results have been achieved. BSHC Members are now invited to participate in a joint application to EU TEN-T for co-financing completing CAT I and II re-surveys by 2020 within the EU TEN-T 2014 - 2020 financial perspective. Replies from BSHC Members are expected by 30 November 2013. So far included Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Sweden. Sweden will coordinate this project.

FAMOS - Finalizing the Motorways of the Sea The calls will take place around the summer .  FAMOS project would not officially start before 2015. Maximum co-funding rates set in the CEF are at 30% of the eligible costs . Max co-funding for the cohesion part of the CEF is 85%.

BSHC Web site The BSHC has established its own web site (http://www.bshc.pro/ ). There will be uploaded information on BSHC activities and plans, e.g. links to the Re-survey Scheme and the Bathymetric Database. This web site could be linked to other web sites . HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 15

Baltic Sea Bathymetric Database Baltic Sea Bathymetry Database has been developed by Sweden. The database is now operative and can be accessed via the link http://data.bshc.pro. Data density will be improved when new survey data is available. Some countries have military restrictions on releasing their high resolution data.

Evaluation of LIDAR technology ● Feasibility of this technology on shallow water surveys, (mainly CAT III) ● Feasibility especially on Baltic Sea environment ● Tests are on-going on Baltic Sea ● BSHC agreed to arrange a LIDAR Seminar May 2014 in Germany ● May also be part in the DG MARE initiative HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 17

BSHC Hydrographic Harmonisation Activities BSHC have several actions for harmonising hydrographic activities and products are continuing, including e.g. ● INT chart coordination, ● BSHC BSICCWG Meeting 2-3 April 2014, Helsinki ● ENC harmonisation, under review ● Harmonisation of vertical references ● BSHC Chart Datum WG meeting 5-6 February 2014, Helsinki ● Harmonisation of depth presentations ● Pilot project FIN- SWE 2013-2014 HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 18

Promoting BSHC Hydrographic Co-operation - Baltic Sea Issue of International Hydrographic Review (IHR) ● IHR is a digital publication of the IHB, two editions annually including both peer-reviewed Articles and short Notes. ● BSHC 18 th Conference endorsed to forward articles to IHR to a Special Baltic Sea Edition in autumn 2014. ● This is excellent possibility forward information on the successful cooperation within all nine Baltic Sea Hydrographic Offices. The timing fits well to the forthcoming IHO Extraordinary Conference in October 2014. ● Proposed topics: Re-survey Scheme, MonaLisa project, Laser bathymetry, experiences of contracting out survey work, Baltic Sea Depth Model, wider use of hydrographic data, harmonisation actions, … ● HELCOM is invited to participate as an Observer to IHO 5EIHC HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 19

Main tasks are fostering and monitoring the re-surveys, updating and developing re-survey database and contributing the actions listed below. - Foster and monitor the re-surveys - Harmonise national re-survey plans - Update the re-survey database - Foster developments of re-survey database - Contribute to the IHO meta database development - Liaise with other organisations (HELCOM, NMAs, NSHC, …) - Report to relevant bodies (BSHC, IHO, NSHC, HELCOM, …) - Promote re-survey work and BSHC co-operation HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 21

Summary ● Re-surveys are a long term activity ● Re-surveys are going on by all Baltic Sea countries ● Substantial progress have been made by national budgets and TEN-T co-financing ● Clear plans to re-survey all areas used for navigation (CAT I and II) by 2020 ● Increasing needs to re-survey areas not primarily used for navigation (CAT III) ● New implementation projects planned to speed up re- surveys, e.g. FAMOS ● High level political support (Ministerial Declarations) ● BSHC co-operation well recognised and appreciated worldwide HELCOM MARITIME SAFE 4, 4 February 2014, Helsinki, Finland www.fta.fi 4.2.2014 22
