Maritime Search and Rescue Operations

Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) operations involve coordinated efforts by ships, aircraft, and rescue teams to locate and assist people in distress at sea. When someone is missing, stranded, or facing danger—such as a sinking vessel or medical emergency—SAR teams use radar, communication systems, and satellite data to detect and reach them quickly. The goal is to save lives, minimize injuries, and prevent further incidents. These operations require careful planning, swift action, and teamwork among various agencies to ensure maritime safety and response effectiveness.
