List of Data Producer Codes List of Data Producer Codes This document was generated on : 24 September 2021 Date of last change to S-62 : 13 July 2021 A cumulative list of all major changes to the list of Data Producer Codes (new or removed producers; changed numeric or alpha Agency Codes) is maintained here Data Producer Codes i Foreword A list of ENC producer agency codes was originally published in November 1996 as Annex A to S-57 Appendix A, under the title "IHO Codes for Producing Agencies". Because the list of producer codes is liable to revision more frequently than the S-57 standard, it was subsequently decided to publish the list of ENC producer codes in a stand-alone IHO publication S-62 - List of Data Producer Codes. After the publication of IHO S-100 and the associated S-100 Geospatial Information Registry, it was decided to manage and maintain all producer codes in data producer code registers within the registry. The data producer code register is divided into a main register for producer codes allocated to States or groups of States for the production of officially authorised nautical products meeting the requirements of marine navigation as laid down in the Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Chapter V, and a supplementary register for producer codes allocated to other organisations and entities. Most of the producer codes in the supplementary register were previously maintained on the Open ECDIS Forum.

  • Building a New National Hydrographic Service: the Italian-Lebanese Collaboration
    Building A New National Hydrographic Service: The Italian-Lebanese Collaboration Lamberto Orlando LAMBERTI and Nicola Marco PIZZEGHELLO (Italy), Afif GHAITH, Elie el JBEILY and Christian FAHED (Lebanon) Key words: Capacity Building, Blue Growth, International Collaboration, Hydrography. SUMMARY The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) defines Hydrography as the description of the physical features of the water portion of the earth's surface, connected with the “blue growth” and all marine activities. The importance of the marine sector will mount in Lebanon over the next decades. Institutions will be the critical enablers in order to achieve sustainable marine management. Hence, the need to strengthen the marine base knowledge, skills and capacities of individuals and organizations is becoming a priority. The capacity building project of the Lebanese Hydrographic Service was created together with Italy, with the Italian Hydrographic Institute as the main technical actor, in order to support Lebanon and guide it through the creation of an independent National Hydrographic Service within the international standards and become its own Primary Nautical Chart Authority (PCA). Giving to the nation of Lebanon an independent hydrographic capacity is essential as it enables the future growth of marine business. The article highlights already performed activities and future plans between Lebanon and Italy in order to build an independent Lebanese Hydrographic Service.

  • The UNIFIL II Mission in Lebanon: Italy’S Contribution
    Area: Seurity & Defence - ARI Nº 125/2009 Date: 4/09/2008 The UNIFIL II Mission in Lebanon: Italy’s Contribution Lucia Marta * Theme: Italy has contributed to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) since 1979 and is the first contributor to UNIFIL II since 2006. Summary: Italy has contributed to the UN Interim Force in Lebanon since 1979, its ITALAIR being the mission’s longest-serving unit. After the fighting in July 2006 on Lebanese soil, Italy joined the leading group of European countries that promoted a new UN mission, mandate and force (UNIFIL II). Italy organised a diplomatic Conference in Rome on 26 July 2006 that helped to approve Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006) on 12 August under “Chapter VI plus”. As of 30 June 2009, Italy deploys 2,662 troops –more than France (1,444), Indonesia (1,248) and Spain (1,044)–, reflecting the importance of the UNIFIL II mission in Lebanon (Operation ‘Leonte’) for the Italian authorities. Since then, Italian troops taken an active role in its implementation and UNIFIL II was under the Command of Major General Claudio Graziano from February 2006 to February 2010. This ARI describes the mandate, activities and contribution of Italian troops in monitoring the cessation of hostilities along the border (the Blue Line), the permanent deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces in Southern Lebanon, assistance to the Lebanese Government in securing its borders and the disarmament of armed groups in the area of operations. Analysis: The United Nations mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was deployed in 1978, following the Israeli intervention to create a security zone separating the two countries, and the subsequent Security Council Resolution (SCR) 425 (1978) and 426 (1978).

  • Peacekeeping at Sea? a Case Study of the Maritime Task Force in Lebanon1
    DOI:10.21544/1809-3191/regn.v22n2p411-440 PEACEKEEPING AT SEA? A CASE STUDY OF THE MARITIME TASK FORCE IN LEBANON1 Luiz Gustavo Aversa Franco2 ABSTRACT Since the end of the Cold War, naval forces have become more and more important to peacekeeping and conflict management efforts, a novelty whose best example is the Maritime Task Force (MTF) established within the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The objective of this work is to present the potentialities of the employment of naval forces in peace operations to fulfil their mandates through the case study of UNIFIL-MTF, emphasizing the role played by Brazil and how it boosts the country’s projection in international peace and security. Using the operational concepts of “maritime interdiction” and “peacekeeping”, this paper presents an overview of the utility of naval forces in peace operations in general, a brief background of the 2006 conflict in Lebanon, the performance of UNIFIL-MTF and the importance of the Task Force to the Brazilian participation in peace operations. The main contribution of this research is to fill a gap in the existing literature on the issue, which has very few updated titles dedicated to this subject. Key-words: UNIFIL-MTF; peacekeeping; maritime interdiction; Brazil. 1 The author thanks Prof. Ana Flávia Granja e Barros and Prof. Alcides Costa Vaz for their valuable contributions, exempting them of any responsibility. 2 PhD Candidate at the University of Brasília’s Graduate Studies Program in International Relations (PPGRI-UnB), Brasília, DF, Brazil and member of the International Security Studies and Research Group (GEPSI).

  • Survey Vessel Delivery and Capacity Building
    ARTICLE ITALIAN HYDROGRAPHIC INSTITUTE SUPPORTS LEBANON HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICE DEVELOPMENT Survey Vessel Delivery and Capacity Building On 20 October 2016 in Beirut, Lebanon, the Italian Ambassador, HE Massimo Marotti, presided over the donation ceremony of a boat for hydrographic surveys donated by the Italian Navy to the Lebanese Navy (Lebanese Armed Forces), represented for the occasion by the Head of Logistics Department, General Kiriejian. The boat delivery is part of a broader project, worth approximately two million euros, which sees the establishment of a Hydrographic Service within the Lebanese Navy. The event was held in the presence of the Lebanese Navy Commander Gen. Majed Alwan, the Defense attaché of the Italian Embassy in Lebanon, Gen. Pier Luigi Monteduro, a delegation from the Italian Navy Hydrographic Institute in Genoa and Lebanese military and civilian authorities (see Figure 1). Navi-Gator Survey Vessel Handing over the hydrographic launch (built in Italy by shipyard Reggiani Aluminium Boats) to the Lebanese Navy was the most significant part of an agreement between the Italian and Lebanese MoDs, aimed at supporting SHMAL and enhancing its hydrographic, oceanographic surveys, geodata management capabilities and, eventually, charting skills. Italian Navy Lieutenant Enrico Zanone and Warrant Officer Giuseppe Ghirardini (sent to Beirut by the IIM Director Captain Luigi Sinapi) carried out an accurate calibration of the Navy-Gator 27 operational systems and taught SHMAL officers and petty officers how to use them. Technicians from Norbit (manufacturers of the multi-beam echosounder) and from Lighthouse (the company that provided the hydrographic payload) assisted them (Figure 2) . Finally, the international team carried out a hydrographic survey of the port of Beirut, processed and evaluated the soundings and tidal data (see Figure 3: LT Zanone training a Lebanese operator and Figure 4 Navy Gator testing the multibeam echo sounder in the port of Beirut).
