Guidance: International search and rescue cooperation data: Passenger ships

Imported from official source

Disasters Classified by Officially

All passenger ships must carry plans for co-operation with search and rescue (SAR) services. Copies of the plans are held by all relevant SAR services. For passenger ships that trade through many SAR regions copies are held by a SAR data provider.

The international SAR co-operation plans (SARCP) index enables users to identify the SAR data provider for each ship’s plan.

Please note that only ships that trade internationally are listed. For details of ships trading only in the UK SAR region, contact any UK coastguard centre, or refer to MSN 1878: Arrangements for the carriage of agreed search and rescue co-operation plans aboard UK passenger vessels.

Ships are listed alphabetically by name with the following details:

  • the name of the company operating the ship (as defined in SOLAS regulation IX/1)
  • the name and 24-hour contact telephone number of the SAR data provider holding the ship’s SAR co-operation plan
  • To submit additions or amendments to the index:

    Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, UK (JRCC)
    HM Coastguard, Unit 12, Kites Croft Business Park
    Fareham
    Hampshire
    PO14 4LW

    Entries should be made for all passenger ships using the SAR data provider system in accordance with the guidelines, for example, ships that trade through many SAR regions. Entries for other passenger ships trading internationally will also be accepted.
