Visit to students attending a course at the UKHO
Captain GORZIGLIA and Mr YAMAO represented the IHB during a visit to the United Kingdom
Hydrographic Office (UKHO) on 19 October, to brief trainees, who were attending a course sponsored by
the Japan Capacity Building Project funded by the Nippon Foundation. The visiting team also included
Mr. KANAZAWA from the Japan Hydrographic Association.
The course started on 5 September and the three five-week modules finished on 16 December.
Capt. GORZIGLIA met the six students from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mexico, Oman, Pakistan and
Philippines. The students described their experiences and were grateful to have the opportunity to
increase their knowledge in the field of nautical cartography. Captain GORZIGLIA gave a presentation
that covered the areas of influence of hydrography and the responsibilities of Governments in relation to
the provision of hydrographic data, information, products and services. The vital coordination and
standardization role of the IHO was highlighted. The students were requested to act as ambassadors for
the IHO and the profession when they returned home. Finally, the UKHO Training Team was
congratulated for its important contribution to the success of the first module.
Captain GORZIGLIA also handed out mementos and certificates for Module 1 of the course and thanked
UKHO and its instructors for contributing to the enhancement of the level of international hydrography
and nautical charting knowledge.
