BASARNAS — National Search and Rescue Agency
Recorded as: RCC BASARNAS
Indonesia's national search and rescue agency, covering one of the largest search and rescue regions in the world.
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.
