Principles of Marine Hydrographic

Marine hydrography is a fundamental discipline that supports safe navigation, coastal development, offshore engineering, and environmental management. It involves the measurement and description of the physical features of oceans, seas, and coastal areas, providing essential data for nautical charting and marine operations.

This program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides participants with a solid foundation in the principles of marine hydrography. It covers core concepts, survey techniques, data acquisition, and the use of modern hydrographic equipment and standards.

Participants will gain essential knowledge and practical understanding of hydrographic processes, enabling them to contribute effectively to marine surveys, navigation safety, and maritime infrastructure projects.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and scope of marine hydrography
• Identify key hydrographic survey methods and techniques
• Apply positioning and measurement systems (GNSS, sonar)
• Understand bathymetric data acquisition and processing
• Interpret hydrographic data for navigation and planning
• Recognize international standards and guidelines (IHO)
• Support safe navigation and marine project development

This program is designed for:

• Hydrographic Surveyors and Technicians
• Marine Engineers and Offshore Professionals
• GIS and Geospatial Specialists
• Port and Coastal Management Personnel
• Environmental and Marine Science Professionals
• Government and Maritime Authority Staff
