Proposed to be include to the IAMSAR Manual as long-term aim. Proposed and agreed to recommend further tes;ng. 2017 Feedback Vessel TRIAGE tests will be submibed to NCSR 4 GOAL Vessel Triage method included to the IAMSAR 2019 edi;on. 11
NCSR3 concerns and comments to Vessel TRIAGE • Valid for all accidental situations • Application should be consistent between individuals • No additional workload to crew • Communication procedures • Benefit to communication should be harmonized across should be confirmed multiple SAR regions • SAR response decisions should • Regulatory implications should not become Master be accounted for responsibility • No conflict with existing emergency assessment and communication methods 12
