What next? • Limited progress in past year – lack of resource • Now need to produce document highlighting HCA surveying plans and charting expectations ie produce HCA7-8B • Now need to prepare paper to stress need for accurate charting and modern survey coverage, to ensure reliable and confident navigation for existing and future vessel movements • Incorporate document and paper above in presentation to ATCM XXXI in 2008 • Maximize opportunity of 7th HCA meeting to update the following tables to inform presentation to ATCM
