The Organization and Management volume discusses the global search and rescue (SAR) system concept, establishment and improvement of national and regional SAR systems, and cooperation with neighbouring States to provide effective and economical SAR services.
A new edition of the IAMSAR Manual is published every three years. The 2022 edition includes amendments, adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and approved by the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) at its 103rd session in May 2021 by means of MSC.1/Circ.1640, which become applicable on 1 June 2022.
A??s a specialized agency of the United Nations, IMO is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.
In
other
words,
its
role
is
to
create
a
level
playing-field
so
that
ship
operators
cannot
address
their
financial
issues
by
simply
cutting
corners
and
compromising
on
safety,
security
and
environmental
performance.
This
approach
also
encourages
innovation
and
efficiency.
Shipping
is
a
truly
international
industry,
and
it
can
only
operate
effectively
if
the
regulations
and
standards
are
themselves
agreed,
adopted
and
implemented
on
an
international
basis.
And
IMO
is
the
forum
at
which
this
process
takes
place.
