When was the International Hydrographic Organization founded?
International Hydrographic Organization
As a result of the Conference, a permanent organization was formed and statutes for its operations were prepared. The IHB, now the IHO, began its activities in 1921 with 18 nations as members. The Principality of Monaco was selected as the seat of the organization as a result of the offer of Albert I, Prince of Monaco to provide suitable accommodation for the Bureau in the principality. This organization firstly was composed by 89 members, but two of them were suspended because they couldn't pay their fees.  Indeed, thirteen Member States had failed to pay their contributions to the organization for 2017 during the calendar year.[1]
