Marine Rescue Coordination Centers (MRCC)

Marine Rescue Coordination Centers (MRCC) are specialized facilities that oversee search and rescue operations at sea. They are responsible for coordinating responses to maritime emergencies, such as shipwrecks, distress calls, and missing vessels. MRCCs monitor activities in their designated areas using radar, satellite systems, and communication channels. When an emergency arises, they assess the situation, deploy rescue resources like ships and helicopters, and ensure that help is provided quickly and efficiently. These centers play a vital role in enhancing maritime safety and ensuring that lives are saved in emergencies on the water.
