MSI Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Centre is responsible for receiving, and promulgation of MSI for NAVAREA V area, on behalf of Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation (DHN), in accordance with GMDSS Master Plan. By SafetyNET service, navigational warnings are broadcasted at scheduled time (0030 and 1/5

2 Page 2 of UTC). Meteorological information is broadcasted at scheduled times (0730 and 1930 UTC), at least twice a day. Bad weather warnings are issued at any time, whenever necessary. For VHF/HF radio band, MSI is broadcast by the Rio de Janeiro Navy Radio station at least three times a day. Local navigational warnings are broadcast by VHF/HF radio band only.

S HYDROGRAPHIC 1.1 Status of hydrographic survey of all navigable waters, including internal waters, out to the limits of the EEZ: Survey coverage, where: A = percentage which is adequately surveyed. B = percentage which requires re-survey at larger scale or to modern standards. C = percentage which has never been systematically surveyed A B C Depths < 200m Depths > 200m Amplifying information: The concept of EEZ is not applicable 2.

Oceanographic activities General: deployment of BTs (Navy) Ships of Opportunity, at international waters, and the operation and annual maintenance of eight PIRATA moored buoys by Hydrographic Navy Ships. Oceanographic operations by CHM happened on the Brazilian NE region this year, and will take place next year at the Amazon coast, mainly in cooperation with PETROBRAS. The Brazilian National Buoy Program will extend probably next year the moored buoy array to the NE and N coast, Drifting buoys are regularly deployed on this region by Brazilian Navy Ships. Problems: Some drifting buoys has being taken on NE coast, interrupting prematurely data acquisition. GEBCO/IBC s activities: routine GEBCO soundings are performed by the Hydrographic Navy Ships employed the oceanographic commissions in the area and in the annual maintenance of the eight PIRATA moored buoys. Tide gauge network: It was installed radars and encoders sensors in Santana Harbour, Vila do Conde Harbour and Belém Harbour. It is part of a plan for collecting updated tidal data to improve tides predictions and to migrate Brazilian chart datum to LAT. Besides it will improve the hydrodynamic model under implementation for that area. New equipment: Radar and encoders sensors were installed. Problems encountered: funding is not always adequate to quantitatively keep with the maintenance/improvement requirements 9. Other activities Participation in IHO Committees / Working Groups: CHRIS, SNPWG, CSTCWG, CPRNW, TC, GEBCO-SCUNF, GEBCO-TSCOM, TWLWG, ABLOS, WEND, CBC, HCIWWG, ISPWG 10. Conclusions Future plans include: Conclusion of coverage for ENC cells of the region until the end of /5
