Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres

Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres (MRCCs) are specialized facilities responsible for coordinating rescue efforts at sea. When there’s an emergency, such as a ship in distress or a person overboard, the MRCC mobilizes resources, communicates with vessels, and directs search and rescue operations to ensure safety. They operate 24/7, using radar, satellite, and communication systems to monitor maritime activity within their designated areas. MRCCs collaborate with Coast Guards, rescue ships, aircraft, and other agencies to provide rapid and effective assistance, minimizing risk and saving lives during maritime emergencies.
