		The BSH is reponsible for a wide variety of services, among them hydrographic surveys, nautical publications, ship registration, testing and approval of technical equipment, oceanographic research, development of nautical information systems, and maritime pollution surveillance.
		In 1945 the tasks of variuos predecessor organisations (among them the German Navy's hydrographic service, the Wilhelmshaven maritime observatory, and the "Deutsche Seewarte" under Georg von Neumayer) were concentrated in the newly created "Deutsches Hydrographisches Institut" (DHI) in Hamburg.

		“A Hydrographic Survey is the 'mapping' of an area of sea and surrounding coastal detail.
		The information from a survey enables a cartographer to portray a part of the Earth's surface on a flat piece of paper and indicate by soundings, height and depth contours and spot heights, the various irregularities both above and below the sea surface.
		For a hydrographic survey, all the details of use to the mariner must be correctly described and positioned relative to each other and their positions located on the Earth's surface.”
