African rescue

The International Maritime Rescue Federation has held a basic rescue boat operating course, in conjunction with the RNLI, specifically tailored and structured for maritime SAR (search and rescue) professionals from Africa. The teaching is designed to be a “train the trainer” course, so the participants will share learnings with their organisations and colleagues. Eleven SAR professionals represented maritime SAR organisations in Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Morocco.
