We are now part way through the first week of the IC-ENC International ENC
Validation training course, which is taking place from 4th-15th July at the United
Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) in Taunton, UK. Eleven delegates from nine
nations have joined us for two weeks to learn about the ENC Validation process
from start to finish, thus giving them the knowledge and skills to be able to perform
ENC Validation when they return to their home offices. The course will also include
familiarisation with the eGlobe G2 ECDIS in order to encourage the use of ECDIS in
Hydrographic Offices' ENC production and validation processes. All IC-ENC
members have been provided with the eGlobe ECDIS software to take back to their
home offices.
We are also starting to make travel arrangements for the IC-ENC Steering
Committee 17 meeting, which will take place on 20th and 21st September. As
mentioned in the recent IC-ENC Circular Letter, the participants attendance
registration deadline has been set to Thursday 30th June.
