Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland Hydrographic Survey project

Welcome to the website of the Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland Hydrographic Survey project. The project has been up and running for over a year now and much preparatory work has led to survey trials off Oban and the successful start of survey operations along the east coast of Ireland.

As we enter our second year, 2012 promises to be our most productive with work on the INIS Hydro survey specifications drawing to a close, and surveys off Ireland the west coast of Scotland scheduled for completion.

Underpinning all this effort is the successful cross-border co-operation between the seven partners from across the UK and Ireland.
