NOAA Visits SLNHO to Advance Sri Lanka’s Hydrographic Capabilities

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States has returned to the Sri Lanka National Hydrographic Office on 29th April 2026 to further strengthen its partnership, with a continued focus on advancing hydrographic capabilities. This collaboration plays a vital role in enabling Sri Lanka to independently survey and chart its maritime domain, thereby enhancing navigational safety, improving maritime situational awareness, and reinforcing national maritime sovereignty.

This visit marks a continuation of the constructive engagements previously held in April 2025 and November 2025 at SLNHO, reflecting a sustained commitment to capacity building and technical cooperation in the field of hydrography.
