The Maritime Search and Rescue Council provides specialist maritime SAR consultancy and capability support worldwide. We work with governments, coastguards, maritime authorities, NGOs, commercial operators, SAR organisations, training providers and individual professionals who need practical expertise, internationally recognised standards and credible development pathways.

We combine strategic insight with operational experience. That allows us to support policy development and national planning, strengthen governance and organisational capability, prepare teams for real-world operations, and help individuals progress through training, competency development and professional recognition.
From the design of a national SAR system to the readiness of a single crew, we work with partners around the world to deliver practical solutions suited to their maritime context.
