Provision of shore-based automatic identification systems (AIS) equipment to Lebanon and Tunisia

European Maritime Safety Agency

Since June 2013, EMSA has been implementing one of the EU-funded projects, Euro-Med cooperation on maritime safety and prevention of pollution from ships, in the framework of the European neighbourhood policy, in order to provide specific technical assistance to the beneficiary countries, i.e. Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria (currently suspended) and Tunisia and to associate them to some of the operational tools developed and managed by EMSA on behalf of the European Commission and the Member States. The overall objective of the EU maritime-related projects in the Mediterranean funded in the framework of the European neighbourhood policy is to enhance maritime safety, maritime security and marine pollution prevention/response in the beneficiary countries. This includes enhancing the traffic monitoring capabilities of the beneficiary countries, promoting AIS information sharing at regional level and implementation of vessel traffic monitoring and information systems (VTMIS) as tools to improve the safety of navigation and consequently environmental protection of the Mediterranean Sea. In this context the beneficiary countries were provided with the possibility to strengthen their cooperation on AIS matters by taking part in pilot project on AIS information sharing thorough the Mediterranean AIS regional server (MAREΣ), operated and maintained by the Italian Coast Guard (ICG). To that end, individual service level agreements (SLAs) have been concluded between EMSA, ICG and some of the beneficiary countries. But lack of or inadequate shore-based AIS infrastructure has been identified as a limitation for the full utilisation of the possibilities provided in accordance with the SLAs.
For that purpose EMSA is seeking to contract the provision of shore-based automatic identification systems (AIS) equipment to Lebanon and Tunisia in order to eliminate the shortfalls and to ensure the effective implementation of the SLAs.
