WORKING GROUP
Norrköping, Sweden, 9–10 June
Although the Baltic Sea International Charting coordination Working Group (BSICCWG) had been
working by correspondence for many years, it held its first meeting in Norrköping, Sweden, on 9-10 June.
The meeting was chaired by Mr. Jarmo MÄKINEN. Mr. Juha KORHONEN acted as Secretary.
Members from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Sweden and the IHB participated in the meeting, and

ENC data in Nordic countries for paper chart production, a proposal for revising the section of the S-23
publication for the Baltic Sea area, exchange of information and updates for adopted charts and the
development of an online catalogue showing INT chart coverage in the Baltic Sea region.
