Maritime Search & Rescue – Maritime Security Review

Maritime Search and Rescue 2016 will explore the key issues when it comes to saving lives at sea, examining current practices and past cases through to future technology trends and suggested new practice. The audience and speaker profile will consist of Coast Guards, maritime authorities, first responders, government bodies, non-profit organisations, rescue coordination centres and militaries.

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.

Key focus areas include:

Mass rescue operations
Cooperation and devolution between the public and private sectors
Emerging technologies including the use of UAVs
Collaboration between nations and agencies
Communications during a crisis
Training and simulation for first responders
The role of fixed wing and rotary platforms in locating and rescuing targets
