Rescue coordination centre

MRCC VIETNAM

Recorded as: MRCC VIETNAM

The name suggests a rescue coordination centre; seahazards has not verified who this issuer is. What follows is what the messages recorded under this name show.

Rescue coordination centres run search and rescue in their region. They issue warnings when a vessel is in distress, overdue or missing, when a person is overboard, or when a distress alert cannot be resolved, and they ask every ship in the area to keep a lookout and report. Many of their broadcasts are short-lived; seahazards publishes search-and-rescue messages only once the case has been closed for 30 days.
