Maritime disaster response

Maritime disaster response involves coordinated efforts to manage emergencies at sea, such as shipwrecks, oil spills, or passenger accidents. It includes rapid rescue operations, deploying personnel and vessels to save lives, and contain hazards to minimize environmental damage. Response teams assess the situation, communicate with relevant authorities, and utilize specialized equipment like rescue boats, drones, and environmental barriers. Effective response relies on advanced planning, training, and collaboration among maritime agencies, coast guards, and international organizations to ensure safety, protect marine resources, and mitigate the impact of incidents.
