Marine Rescue Coordination Centre

A Marine Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) is a specialized facility that oversees and manages maritime emergency response efforts. It monitors vessel movements, weather conditions, and potential threats to ensure safety at sea. When a distress call is received or an incident occurs, the MRCC coordinates search and rescue operations, deploying appropriate resources such as ships, helicopters, and rescue teams. It also communicates with nearby vessels and authorities to facilitate effective assistance. Fundamental to maritime safety, the MRCC ensures timely, organized responses to emergencies, minimizing risks and saving lives at sea.
