maritime emergency response

Maritime emergency response involves coordinated efforts to address incidents at sea, such as shipwrecks, collisions, or medical emergencies. It includes deploying rescue vessels, aircraft, and rescue teams to assist stranded or distressed crews and passengers. Specialized equipment and communication systems are used to locate and aid those in danger. The goal is to ensure safety, minimize environmental impact, and manage the incident efficiently. These responses are guided by international protocols and cooperation among agencies like coast guards, maritime organizations, and emergency services to ensure rapid and effective action at sea.
