The International SAR Plan

The International SAR Plan (Search and Rescue Plan) is a coordinated effort among countries to assist ships and aircraft in distress on international waters. It ensures a systematic approach to locate and aid those in danger, using shared resources, agreed procedures, and communication networks. The plan helps optimize rescue operations across borders, minimizing response times and increasing safety for crews and passengers. It’s part of a global commitment to maritime and aeronautical safety, ensuring that assistance is available quickly and efficiently regardless of where an emergency occurs.
