SLRB to enhance maritime surveying with advanced digital technology
Marking World Hydrography Day, Bassim bin Yaqoub Al Hamer, President of the Survey and Land Registration Bureau (SLRB), highlighted Bahrain's efforts to advance maritime surveying through modern digital technologies. He noted that hydrographic surveying supports maritime safety, coastal development, and sustainable marine resource use, adding that expanding national capacity in this field reinforces Bahrain's role as a regional maritime hub. During a site visit to the national survey vessel project, Al Hamer described the initiative as a strategic investment in marine sustainability and safety, with the vessel set to feature advanced sensors and 3D seabed mapping for precise data on marine sand resources. The Hydrographic Department supports national goals by updating navigational charts, identifying safe routes, and strengthening collaboration with the International Hydrographic Organisation in line with Bahrain's development and environmental priorities. It also monitors coastal and seabed changes, supports ecosystem protection, and provides essential data for infrastructure projects such as subsea cables, pipelines, and offshore wind farms, helping to reduce environmental impact. The department contributes to sea level studies through accurate, long term tidal and depth data that inform climate models and help safeguard coastal assets. Recent efforts include issuing updated charts and tide tables, delivering high resolution data for infrastructure projects, and building national capacity through specialised training and international cooperation.
