, the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) comprised 98 Member States, two of which are suspended because of their lapsed annual financial contribution. The IHO identifies its representative member organisations as the respective national hydrographic office(s). These organisations may themselves be part of wider national maritime or other administrations covering a larger range of tasks – such as the national organisations for transport, maritime regulation, environment, defence or oceanography. For example, in Norway and New Zealand the hydrographic offices are sub-organisations of the country's national geodata organisation; in the UK and France, they are part of the Ministry of Defence; in Finland the hydrographic Office is part of the department of transport. The up to date list of IHO Member States, their representative organisations and contact details are maintained in the IHO Yearbook - available at www.iho.int List – Albanian Hydrographic Service – Hydrographic Office of the Algerian National Navy – Instituto Hidrografico e de Signalização Maritíma de Angola (IHSMA) – Argentine Naval Hydrographic Service – Australian Hydrographic Service – Bahraini Hydrographic Survey Directorate – Bangladeshi Directorate of Hydrography – Flemish Hydrography – Brazilian Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation – Brunei Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation – Hydrographical Service at Ministry of Defense – Autonomous Port of Douala - Canadian Hydrographic Service – Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Chilean Navy – Chinese Maritime Safety Administration – Colombian National Ministry of Defence, Colombian Navy, General Maritime Directorate – Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia – Cuban National Office of Hydrography and Geodesy – Cypriotic National Hydrographic Committee, The Department of Lands and Surveys Democratic People's Republic of Korea – DPRK Hydrographic Department – Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ports and Studies Division – Danish Geodata Agency – Hydrographic Service of the Navy of the Dominican Republic – Oceanographic Institute of the Ecuadorian Navy – Egyptian Navy Hydrographic Department – Estonian Maritime Administration (Aids to Navigation and Hydrography Division) – Republic of Fiji Navy Hydrographic Office – Finnish Transport Agency Hydrographic Office – Naval Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service – State Hydrographic Service of Georgia – Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany – Maritime Authority, Ministry of Transport – Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service – Guatemalan Ministry of Defence, General Directorate of Maritime Affairs – Maritime Administration Department – Icelandic Coast Guard Hydrographic Department – Indian Naval Hydrographic Department – Indonesian Hydro-Oceanographic Service – Iranian Ports and Maritime Organisation – Ministry of
