The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) will host an in-person panel discussion during London International Shipping Week (LISW) 2025, bringing together expert voices from across the maritime industry to explore the next generation of navigation standards.
Titled "S-100 in focus," the session will take place on Thursday, September 18, 2025, at Sea Containers, London, and is free to attend with advance registration.
The event will examine the maritime sector’s transition to the S-100 framework, designed by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Focusing on S-100’s development and implementation, the session will cover how the new standard differs from the existing S-57 format and what this could mean for navigation, decision-making, and operational efficiency.
The panel of speakers will feature a range of experts from across the S-100 ecosystem, including the UKHO, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), simulation specialists, and commercial shipping operators. Each will offer a unique lens on what the shift to S-100 could mean in practice. From chart data production and bridge integration to mariner training and live sea trials, the discussion will explore S-100 through technical, operational and human-centered perspectives.
Confirmed speakers include Thomas Mellor, the UKHO’s Head of Technical Partnerships, who leads engagement with OEMs on next-generation
