FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin In an exclusive interview, Vanessa Blake, the newly appointed Chief Executive of the UKHO, outlines her key priorities for the future of maritime navigation. At the top of her agenda is advancing discussions around the emerging S-100 data framework and the evolving landscape of hydrography. She explains that the S-100 framework will transform how maritime data is collected, shared, and used.
