ENC Overlap in RSAHC ENC Overlaps of Pakistan & India Extensive correspondence has been made in this regard, and the issue has been considered analyzed in our different meetings with them, resulting in proposals from the two sides. However, the two sides did not reach an agreement over the issue, which can be considered an example of taking action in accordance with recommendation number 9 of IRCC 10 to RHCs, mentioned in previous slides.

ENC Overlap in RSAHC Iran & Sultanate of Oman v. IR 403080, GB 302441 & GB 303175 The scope of Nautical Chart IR 403082 (INT 7225) falls under the agreement between Iran and Oman regarding the continental shelf boundary, and Iran is therefore going to delete its information from the overlap area. v. IR 403081, GB 302441, GB 303174 & GB 303175 v. IR 403082 & GB 303172 Nautical Charts IR 403080 (INT 7217) & IR 403081 (INT 7214) cover some of the Omani waters, since the boundary of the relevant continental shelf has not been determined. v. It is worth mentioning, for instance, that the Omani Chart 1219 prepared at 1: 125000 for the Strait of Hormuz, overlaps with the Iranian INT 7204, and covers some Iranian waters.

Problems or outstanding issues, Recommendations Outstanding Issues: - Continental shelf boundary not determined completely between countries of Region I (Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman); - Latest status of ENC production unknown, due to insufficient reporting by a number of countries; - Absence of an integrated and systematic structure for registering, validating and uploading ENCs, in a similar manner as INT Charts (INTo. GIS II); and - Insufficient competence of trained experts in hydrographic centers of some regional countries. Recommendations: - To create an integrated and systematic structure for registering, validating and uploading ENCs in RSAHC Region; - To report twice a year the latest status of ENC productions and it’s updates to ENC/INT Coordinator.
