SAR Mission Coordinator (IAMSAR Manual, Volume II) - Model Course 3.14, 2025 Edition
£79.00
This course aims to support training in search and rescue (SAR) mission coordination in accordance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the International Convention on Maritime Search and Rescue, 1979 (SAR Convention). Based on Volume II of the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual (IAMSAR Manual), it provides guidance on the coordination and conduct of maritime SAR activities, ensuring alignment with internationally recognized standards and procedures.
This is one of three model courses developed from the IAMSAR Manual, alongside Model Course 3.13 (SAR Administration, Volume I) and Model Course 3.15 (SAR On-scene Coordinator, Volume III). Each course is designed as a standalone resource, and together they provide a comprehensive approach for assisting States in meeting their own SAR needs and the obligations they accepted under SOLAS and the SAR Convention. Tailored to the trainees’ experience, this course is a key tool for strengthening SAR capability and enhancing safety at sea.

IMO
As a specialised agency of the United Nations, the International Maritime Organization (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.
