It recommended the establishment of five MRCCs along the African coastline to work with 26 sub-centres on the continent and nearby island States to provide search and rescue coverage in an area of the world that had hitherto lacked an effective search and rescue and GMDSS infrastructure. These MRCCS were subsequently established, with IMO support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior-level officials responsible for SAR in the five regional MRCCs updated their counterparts on the status of implementation of SAR services within their respective regions. Further activities relating to sub-regional technical cooperation addressing specific needs will follow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Director of the South African SAR, Mr Chueu Terrence Mabuela, opened the workshop. It follows the 30th meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)\/IMO Joint Working Group on Harmonization of Aeronautical and Maritime SAR, also held in Cape Town (6-10 November). The Joint group meets annually to harmonize maritime and aeronautical SAR, including developing updates to the IAMSAR Manual which contains guidelines for a common approach to the organization and provision of search and rescue services.<\/p>\n<p>Source : IMO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest developments on search and rescue (SAR) procedures, techniques and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12466,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,442],"tags":[1493,31,32,1485,1297,1377,155,45],"class_list":["post-12465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-news-en","tag-africa-en","tag-maritimafrica","tag-maritime","tag-maritime-in-africa","tag-maritime-industry-en","tag-maritime-security-en","tag-search-and-rescue","tag-shipping-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
