Training and Development

We have run very successful Mass Rescue Operations (MRO) Workshops across Asia and in South America. In Europe, we run our annual Lifeboat Crew Exchange – the exchanges deliver a powerful mix of hands-on training, cultural cross-learning and peer-to-peer collaboration. We have trained 100s of SAR personnel across Africa, by working with Maritime Administrations, MRCCs and MRSCs across the globe, to identify development needs and provide specialist programmes of training, knowledge-sharing and international networking.

We have secured a major grant worth US$450,000 from the TK Foundation to create the world’s first free global e-learning system for the maritime search and rescue (SAR) sector. The project marks a major milestone in international efforts to strengthen the capabilities of key SAR and shipping personnel and close critical training gaps for those who continue to put their lives at risk at sea.
