    REPORT Technical Visit to THE SULTANATE OF OMAN 18-20 February 2007 2 Technical Visits to the Sultanate of Oman (IHO Work Program 2007, Tasks 2.1.7 and 2.1.10) 18 - 20 February 2007 I.- General Information. One of the strategic issues identified in the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Strategic Plan is Capacity Building, which is essentially the building of effective national organizations where needed or the improvement of existing capabilities. Therefore advisory visits to assess requirements and shortcomings, as well as the promotion and coordination of technical cooperation are very important. The IHO Program 2 “Capacity Building” addresses principally the requirements for Member States to fulfil their roles. Nevertheless there are still several other States that do not have yet any hydrographic capability, and therefore IHO needs to support and encourage those countries to establish such capability. Raising global awareness of the importance of hydrography and encouraging the establishment of new Hydrographic Offices are vital to achieve a global coverage of effective hydrographic services, which is the role of the IHO. In this line, Program 2 “Capacity Building” of the IHO Work Program 2007, has included the following Tasks: a) Task 2.1.7. Carry out visits of Technical Cooperation to the following countries and organizations: ROPME Sea Area Hydrographic Commission (RSAHC) & North Indian Ocean Hydrographic Commission (NIOHC) including Egypt, Sudan and Djibouti and others to be determined (with the participation of the International Hydrographic Bureau (IHB) the IHO Secretariat). b) Task 2.1.10 Technical Visits to be paid by IHB to the RSAHC and NIOHC Technical visits including Egypt, Sudan, Djibouti, Iran, Kuwait and Qatar.

Turner/Released) U.S. Navy awards BAE Systems $41 million contract to modernize USS Oscar Austin 3 Jan 2018 BAE Systems has received a $41.6 million contract from the U.S. Navy to modernize the guided missile destroyer USS Oscar Austin (DDG 79). The Oscar Austin will undergo 12 months of extensive work at the company’s shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia, the ship’s homeport. The contract includes options that, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value to $117.1 million. Under the depot maintenance period (DMP) contract, BAE Systems will dry-dock the 509- foot-long Oscar Austin. The shipyard’s employees and subcontractors will then upgrade the ship’s Aegis Combat System and will perform alterations and miscellaneous repairs that will affect nearly every onboard space. The work is expected to begin in February and be completed in February 2019. “The work we will perform on the Oscar Austin is large and complex, and will involve a large number of our employees and subcontractors,” said Dave Thomas, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair.
