Teledyne to Showcase Integrated Maritime Technology Portfolio at the 2026 IHO Assembly

Key Terms

international hydrographic organization regulatory

An international hydrographic organization is an intergovernmental body that sets global standards and coordinates mapping of the world’s seas, coastlines and ocean depths so ships and marine projects can operate safely. Think of it as a standards office for nautical charts and marine data: its rules and certifications affect shipping safety, offshore exploration, port development and insurance risk, so investors use its guidance to judge operational, regulatory and financial exposure in maritime and coastal businesses.

hydrography technical

Hydrography is the measurement and mapping of bodies of water — including depths, shorelines, tides, currents and underwater features — much like a surveyor makes a map of land. Investors care because accurate hydrographic data guides decisions for shipping, port operations, offshore energy, coastal development and marine risk assessment; think of it as the navigational chart that reduces surprises and informs where to place capital in or near the water.

ecdis technical

An ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) is a shipboard digital navigation system that displays electronic sea charts, tracks a vessel’s position using GPS and other sensors, and alerts the crew to hazards and route deviations. For investors, ECDIS matters because it’s often required by maritime regulators and can reduce accidents, insurance costs and voyage inefficiencies—so changes in ECDIS use, upgrades or compliance costs can affect a shipping company’s expenses and risk profile.

thermal imaging technical

Thermal imaging is a camera-based technology that detects infrared radiation and turns differences in heat into a visible picture, like a camera that 'sees' temperature instead of color. Investors care because it is used across industries—medical diagnostics, building and equipment inspections, security, and manufacturing—so adoption, regulatory approval, or product improvements can affect sales, margins and competitive position in companies that make or use the technology.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) announced today its participation in the 2026 International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Assembly, taking place April 19–23, 2026, in Monaco. The company will be represented by several of its leading maritime brands – including Teledyne CARIS, Raymarine Commercial, FLIR Marine, ChartWorld, SevenCs, and Teledyne Marine – presenting a unified portfolio of technologies that advance marine navigation, hydrography, situational awareness, and operational safety.

Together, Teledyne’s maritime brands will showcase a selection of products and innovations designed to support the global transition toward the next-generation universal hydrographic data model, known as S-100. Teledyne companies are at the forefront of S-100 production, validation, and S-100-compatible navigation products that deliver improved situational awareness and promote safer navigation.

Teledyne CARIS will lead the presence at this year’s IHO Assembly, highlighting key advancements including AutoChart 2.0. Building on decades of collaboration with hydrographic offices worldwide, Teledyne CARIS will demonstrate streamlined chart-production workflows and end-to-end data management designed to accelerate national modernisation efforts and enhance data consistency across hydrographic office partners.

Alongside Teledyne CARIS, Raymarine Commercial will debut its S-100-ready ECDIS, a future-proof navigation system engineered to support enhanced data layers, modernised workflows, and next-generation electronic charting for commercial fleets.

FLIR Marine will present the M364C thermal camera, combining high-resolution thermal imaging with colour low-light technology to deliver exceptional target identification and situational awareness in all weather and lighting conditions.

Teledyne Marine will showcase its newly launched deep-water sonar system, the SeaBat D100. Designed for deep-water Vessel of Opportunity operations, the system brings trusted SeaBat data quality, resolution, and reliability into a compact, highly flexible configuration that can operate in water depths down to 3,000 meters.

ChartWorld will highlight its expertise in digital chart solutions and ECDIS services, while SevenCs will showcase its industry‑leading chart production and validation technologies, together demonstrating how their combined capabilities integrate across the Teledyne ecosystem to support modern navigation and S‑100‑ready data workflows.

“At Teledyne, we are committed to leading the evolution of maritime technology through integrated solutions that empower our partners and customers. The 2026 IHO Assembly is a unique opportunity to demonstrate how our unified portfolio – spanning navigation, hydrography, and situational awareness – supports the next generation of safer and more efficient global seafaring,” said Grégoire Outters, President, Teledyne Marine Group.

The IHO Assembly brings together representatives from more than 90 member states to shape the future of ocean mapping, hydrography, and global charting standards, reflecting Teledyne’s mission to advance marine knowledge, technology excellence, and navigational safety worldwide.
