Hydrography is the branch of applied sciences which deals with the measurement and description

  • f the physical features of oceans, seas, coastal

areas, lakes and rivers, as well as with the prediction of their change over time, for the primary purpose of safety of navigation and in support of all other marine activities, including economic development, security and defence, scientific research, and environmental protection.

IIM Participation in EPPR Working Group

It is one of the institutional technical tables

  • f the Arctic Council:
  • EPPR

WG concerns prevention

  • f

hydrocarbon marine pollution, emergency management, navigational aids and Search And Rescue (SAR) in the Arctic

  • In 2016 the Italian Minister of Foreign

Affairs and International Cooperation delegated the IIM to represent Italy in the EPPR WG

  • Need for a joint test of the alarm procedures for

emergency management in the Arctic

  • Need for an Arctic SAR Joint Manual including

SOLAS, Chicago Convention and IAMSAR (International Aeronautical and Maritime Search And Rescue) prescriptions

  • Need to establish an Arctic Coast Guard forum
  • Work in progress for a Database of Arctic

response assets

  • Workshop on standards on oil-spill prevention
