The IMRF supports and facilitates global maritime search and rescue (SAR) development throughout the world. We have run Mass Rescue Operations (MRO) Workshops across Asia and in South America. In Europe, we run our annual Lifeboat Crew Exchange and since 2012 in collaboration with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) we are working to develop maritime SAR resources and capability across Africa. By working with Maritime Administrations, MRCCs and MRSCs in Africa, to identify development needs and provide specialist programmes of training, knowledge-sharing and international networking, we have trained 100s of SAR personnel across Africa.
