Foreword

The present booklet provides standard Romanized names of geographic features which are significant and relevant for navigation on the Lancang-Mekong international waterway. Specifically, the geographic features and their names have been confirmed through surveys and other work undertaken under the project on “the Compilation of the Atlas of Geographic Names on the Channel of the Lancang-Mekong River”, funded by the People’s Republic of China (P. R. China).

In the collaboration with Department of Transport of Yunnan Province, P. R. China, Mekong Institute (MI) organized the project which comprised a consultation meeting held in Khon Kaen, Thailand on March 2, 2014, followed by a joint on-the-spot survey conducted during March 3-8, 2014 at select ports on the international waterway. Participating in the project were experts from P. R. China, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Thailand, the four member countries of the Joint Committee on Coordination of Commercial Navigation on the Lancang-Mekong River (JCCCN) formed under an agreement signed in April 2000 for operation and development of international navigation on the Lancang-Mekong River.

With the information in the JCCCN’s Lancang-Mekong Navigation Charts as the starting point, the joint on-the-spot survey conducted by the participating experts under the technical assistance, and additional surveys severally conducted during March to September 2014 by the JCCCN member countries have enabled comparison of information obtained from inspection and field reports with that in the Charts1. The outcome is a confirmed current status of geographic features and their names for each of the individual Charts, referenced A1 to A78. The present volume incorporates the outputs of the activities just described and documents the outcome.

In the creation of the booklet, the MI has assisted with standardized Romanization of the names and a user-friendly pronunciation guide, editorial and production services.
