February 2024 – IAMSAR Solutions completed another Maritime Search Planning (MSP) course session for JRCC Curacao personnel. Delivered onsite, the MSP course primarily focuses on maritime SAR activities from the initial onset of a maritime distress incident until the conclusion of a mission.
This course is a necessity for anyone involved in:
- Calculating the drift of search objects
- Determining the datum in maritime operations
- Planning SAR operations with a moving search area
The course consists of detailed theoretical and practical elements of maritime search planning, utilizing both manual and software-based methods. The team used the RPS SARMAP software during simulations, thanks to an agreement with TetraTech.
