Global SAR Plan

The Global SAR Plan is one of the modules of the Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS), which allows users to have open access to search and rescue related information provided by Maritime Administrations.   The Global SAR Plan module is organized in three sections: National Authority, RCCs and TMAS. 

National Authority indicates a responsible authority, administration or service coordinator for maritime SAR of each nation. The data, containing name, telephone, and email address guides users to contact the right Authority. 

RCCs provides information on available Rescue Co-ordination Centres, including means of communication and their area of responsibility. By collecting the data online, users are able to contact the RCC that is responsible for a particular area in case of emergencies. 

TMAS (Telemedical Advice Services) is a medical service that is continually staffed by medical professionals who can provide remote consultations and assistance for those who suffer illness or injury on board  ship. Telephone number, associated RCC and possible consultation language are uploaded on Global SAR Plan by Maritime Administrations.
