Marine Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC)

A Marine Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) is a specialized facility responsible for managing maritime emergency responses. It monitors maritime traffic, coordinates search and rescue operations, and provides assistance to vessels in distress. MRCCs work with coastguards, ships, and rescue organizations to ensure safety at sea. They use radar, satellite data, and communication systems to track vessels and respond promptly to emergencies, such as maritime accidents, disappearances, or medical crises. Essentially, an MRCC acts as the central hub for organizing and coordinating rescue efforts to protect lives and maritime assets.
