Following other successful ECDIS Stakeholders’ Forums held in conjunction with meetings of IHO Committees (CHRIS and WEND), another meeting of this IHO - Marine Industry interface took place in the afternoon of 3^rd and the morning of 4^th September 2008, in conjunction with the 11th meeting of the IHO WEND Committee.  Both meetings were organized by the Japan Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department (JHOD) and were held at the Auditorium of Mita Kaigisho Conference Hall which is located 2-1-8, Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo. 

The 4^th ESF was chaired by Mr Horst Hecht, Director Nautical Hydrography, Bundesamt fur Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie, Germany. The forum provided an opportunity to express stakeholders’ views on relevant subjects. As the Forum was held in conjunction with a meeting of WEND, the 4^th ESF focused on coverage and distribution aspects of ENCs.
