Approximate coverage

4. Small-scale INT Chart Scheme
Recommend (to the INT Chart Committee)
Adopt the revised INT Chart scheme for both paper and ENCs
An additional INT chart to include Suriname
INT Chart coverage for Pacific coast of MACHC (2-3 charts)

5. Small-Scale ENCs Agreed: INT Chart scheme will be basis for production
Need to address overlaps in ENC cell coverage
Identified HOs willing to produce INT paper charts and ENCs
Produced ENCs should undergo a consistency check by 3rd party (IC-ENC and Primar Stavanger have offered).
Most small-scale ENCs will be available free-of-charge.

6. Priority Ports/Routes for ENCs
Accomplished:
Minor revisions in area designations
Added additional ports (e.g., Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Suriname, USA, & Venezuela)
Incorporated/highlighted cruise ship ports
Added Environmentally Sensitive Sea Areas (ESSAs)
Began development of a detailed table for each area
Need:
A more detailed map of area boundaries
Determine Pacific Ocean ports
Add GoH Project Ports

7. ENC Distribution Options
Accomplished
Preference is for:
a) To establish own RENC
b) Or, join an existing RENC
Designated a small Task Group to look into pros and cons of each option
Colombia
Cuba
Mexico
Venezuela (Chair)
UK & Netherlands (IC-ENC) and France (Primar Stavanger) will assist.

8. Major commercial shipping routes and designated areas
In the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico region 1a 2c 1b 2d 3 2b 2a 1c

9. ENC Training First Step:
Determine what are the types/level of training needed for a designated country(s).
e.g., Gulf of Honduras Project
Tie into capacity building (i.e., S-55).

10. Additional Topics Discussed
1. Options for RENC
“Virtual”
Primar Stavanger
IC-ENC
2. HYCOOP Letter
3. Quality Control, Quality Assurance & Data Consistency

11. Follow-on Action Items
1. Establish link between IHO and MACHC-ECWG websites
2. For Priority Ports and Routes, prepare more detailed:
- table
- area map
3. Contact cruise ship companies for update
