Statutory Documents - IMO Publications and Documents - Circulars - Maritime Safety Committee - MSC/Circular.1079 – Guidelines for Preparing Plans for Co-operation between Search and Rescue Services and Passenger Ships - (in accordance with SOLAS regulation V/7.3) – (Adopted on 10 July 2003) - Annex - Guidelines for Preparing Plans for Co-operation between Search and Rescue Services and Passenger Ships - (in accordance with SOLAS regulation V/7.3) - 5 SAR co-operation plan frameworks
5 SAR co-operation plan frameworks
5.1 The co-operation plan should be concise and user-friendly, so as to enable its easy use in emergency conditions. Depending on the type of trade the passenger ship is in, the co-operation plan should be drawn up according to the frameworks set out in Appendices 1 or 2 to these Guidelines. The frameworks and the SAR co-operation planning process are described in sections 7 and 8 below and are illustrated by flow diagrams given in appendix 3.
5.2 The use of common frameworks enables SAR service personnel to find the information they require rapidly, whatever ship or company they are dealing with. Likewise, ship's crew members, or members of the company emergency response team ashore, are able to find the information they require, whatever the SAR regionfootnote in which the emergency has occurred.
5.3 The frameworks are designed to enable modules of information (about different ships or SAR services, for example) to be easily added to the co-operation plan or removed from it, if no longer relevant, without the need for the whole co-operation plan to be revised.
