INTERNATIONAL 
Expanding our influence 
The BSH Is actively engaged also on the International stage. Measures to 
improve the safety of navigation and the effectiveness of marine environmental 
protection can only be Implemented successfully if they are supported by the 
community of states. A practical example of such “alliance” is the BSH’s 
support provided to the Hydrographic Office of Sri Lanka, whose hydrographic 
and marine scientific equipment were destroyed almost completely 
in the tsunami. The BSH participates in a several-year reconstruction project, for 
which €1 million In Instant aid has been made available.
