ICS Guidance on Large Scale Rescue Operations at Sea
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has issued a new publication titled “Large Scale Rescue Operations at Sea – Guidance on Ensuring the Safety and Security of Seafarers and Rescued Persons” that has been developed in response to the growing number of persons rescued by merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea.
