Maritime Search & Rescue

Any nation with a coastline has an obligation to assist persons in distress at sea, regardless of their nationality, status or the circumstances in which they are found. With passenger carrying vessels constantly increasing their capacity and sea traffic volume rising it is becoming more difficult than ever to meet those obligations.
