IMO Pocket Guide to Recovery Techniques: 2014 [paper]

IMO Pocket Guide to Recovery Techniques

The guide was prepared by the Sub-Committee on Radiocommunications and Search and Rescue and gives guidance to seafarers on recovering people in distress at sea. The guide is intended to be used as a reference document which should be read now and referred to again while proceeding to the scene of an emergency, as part of the preparation for a recovery operation.

The guide’s principal aims are to help you – as master or crew of a responding ship – to:
– Assess and decide upon appropriate means of recovery aboard your own vessel;
– Train in the use of these means of recovery, in general preparation for emergencies; and
– Prepare yourselves and your vessel when actually responding to an emergency
