Mass Rescue Operations Focus Day Tuesday 19th March 2013

Major incidents severely test the capabilities of responding emergency services. Because of the nature of their scale and unpredictability, effective preparedness and response strategies are crucial. Mass rescue operations (MROs) are particularly challenging – and maritime MROs especially so.

This focus day will combine case study-led presentations and interactive workshop discussions to focus on developing and sharing practical solutions in the following areas: - Integrating the preparation and planning efforts of all stakeholders - Enhancing incident coordination and establishing supportive systems - Improving cohesion between all stakeholders to optimise response capability

08.30 Registration and coffee

09.00 Welcome and overview of IMRF’s project to improve maritime MRO response globally David Jardine-Smith, Secretary, International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF)

10.45 Coffee and networking break

11.15 Filling the "SOLAS Gap" in Mass Rescue Operations • There is a discrepancy between the obligation to render help to distressed at sea, and the inadequate tools mandated and available to masters this is known as the "SOLAS Gap" • If all ships were to carry liftable life rafts for use in case of an evacuation, and any ship of opportunity could connect and lift these rafts filled with people to the safety on-board, then mass would be achievable. • Gain insight into how the FIRST project has developed methods and equipment to let ships of opportunity connect and lift life rafts with people in them and is continuously conducting tests with a ROPAX vessel in realistic harsh conditions Fredrik Falkman, Industrial Designer, Swedish Sea Rescue Society FIRST project Captain Mikael Hinnerson, Project Director, Swedish Sea Rescue Society FIRST project www.sar-europe.com

12.00 An aeronautical and maritime overview of provisions for Mass Rescue Operations in Finland • Examine Finland’s new distress vessel classification system, “Vessel Triage” • Understand how the risk assessment takes into account vessel type, number of people, cargo, and location • Gain insight into how the Finnish Aircraft Coordinator (ACO) role provides a leading example of how the role of ACO should be undertaken for Mass Rescue Operations • Successful collaboration between ACO and On Scene Commander (OSC) Mika Runsten, Chief, ARCC Finland Petteri Leppänen, Commander, SAR and Maritime Safety Unit, Finnish Border Guard

13.00 Lunch

14.00 Major incident planning for mass rescue at sea: When SAR is not enough This interactive workshop will contribute to the IMRF’s ongoing project to improve response globally for MROs.

MROs are defined by the IMO as “characterised by the need for immediate response to large numbers of persons in distress such that the capabilities normally available to the SAR authorities are inadequate”.

Crew competence, weather conditions, and geographical location are all critical to the success of mass rescues. Planning processes are complex, but execution must be as simple as possible and based on regular training and exercising. Through group discussions, a practical exercise and best practice sharing, this interactive workshop will focus on:

• Major incident planning & training: what is expected? • Integrating the preparation and planning efforts of all stakeholders • Enhancing incident co-ordination and establishing supportive systems • Improving cohesion between all stakeholders to optimise response capability • Practical aspects of mass rescue operations at sea • International efforts to improve mass rescue response • Evacuation, recovery and rescue techniques and accounting for and supporting survivors • Communications considerations • Learning, training & exercising

Led by David Jardine-Smith, Secretary, International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF)

17.00 Close of Mass Rescue Focus Day
