Creation of Croatian coastline in scale 1: 5 000 (usage of various fair sheets, new modern hydrographic surveys- public and private, Google Earth, Google maps, satellite imagery) Hosting and reception of the delegation from schools, universities and various institutions Creation of ENC cells (berthing) for the purpose of creation of new edition of „A cruising guide to the Adriatic coast of Croatia; Volume I. and II.” Creation of paper charts for the purpose of creation of new edition of „A cruising guide to the Adriatic coast of Croatia; Volume I. and II.” Updating paper charts and ENC with NTM on the weekly/monthly basis Participation at the Conference of the Mediterranean and Black Seas Hydrographic Commission (MBSHC) ( June 2019, Cadiz, Spain)

IHO – NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Lessons learned from CHART Course Solutions in organisation of sea names, land names and other features in paper charts Chart typography (general information, land features, navigational aids, water features) Database in different layers (cables, wrecks, pipelines, TSS, LOS, fish farms, MPA, PEXA, routes) Data capture (compilation records, specification work, ENC and paper chart specs, C, V1, V2.) 5011 tests (buoy exercise, depth area.etc) Sounding selection and creation of depth contours (triangle rule, key depths, the deeps, unexpected soundings, joining shoals) UOOC, AC, PS, OC a) identification of appropriate object class and acronym for different chart features b) encoding of object shown on paper Digital process in sounding selection (CARIS Base Editor)

IHO – NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Lessons learned from CHART Course Mercator projection ( and -) Usage of nautical mile instead of sea mile Accuracy and precision (1 decimal place /- 185 m on the ground) Errors in the positions of objects in ENCs derived from paper charts Positioning and plotting on the paper chart (measure bearing and distance) a) usage of parallel, ruler and dividers b) linear Scale and Side Border What is a definition of a good symbol (I, D, S, S) Symbols (10- 10, FS-fS), importance of kelp and corals Depiction of contours and generalising shoals , „to ease depths” Drying heights (LAT-object) „Sounding selection is about all you leave off, not all you put in.“

IHO – NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Lessons learned from CHART Course Data validation for object detection (0-40m all 2m cubic objects) Data sources (textual and graphical, credibility.) Performance indicators (RNW, NM, NM Block, NE.) Navigational lights (position of the flare) (S4,B-440) Height on nautical chart or topographic chart Charting criteria (mariners need, scale, function) ENC Data Set Files (New Data set, Update, Re-issue, New Edition) Understanding polygons (Group 1 and 2) Master-slave relationships Dangerline values (shallowest depth contour) Lights and light support (to determine Mandatory attributes-use chart of the largest scale or List of lights)

IHO – NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Lessons learned from CHART Course text/name placement (CARIS places different!) Cautionary notes (general, black, magenta, green) Magnetic variation-calculate declination Rules for Compass Placement Source data (1/10 of chart) International Maintaining Navigational Products (RNW, NTM B, PNTM, TNTM, UNE, NE, LTA, NA) Work in progress in 3 years (TNM or PNM) „Rule of thumb” for NTM (0-10 0.5m, 10-31 1.0m) 5 NM verbs used in NMs (Insert, Amend, Replace, Move, Delete) (Amend-suddenly change, Replace-on the same position, Move-inside 3cm, if it is more then 3cm-then is Insert) Logical order in inserting positions (N to S, E to W, approaches to the harbour, along the navigational channel in direction of travel) SCAMIN (not on buoys and beacons)

IHO – NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Suggestion for the future Law of the Sea (situations related with nautical subject-maritime accidents, relation HO-ECDIS-mariners.) Making CARIS easier to use in every HO (relation IHO-HO-Caris Teledyne)- consistency and sufficency Creation of a guideline books among CAT B students (with tips for quicker or different solutions) for various scope of work in CARIS After learning e-course (online quizes-apps, video conferences, engaging, connecting and empowering CAT B cartographers in different solutions which we are facing in nautical cartography- social network.)
