Annex 2* provides the information on the availability of SAR Services, listed per country. Annex 3* provides information on Telemedical Maritime Advice Services (TMAS). Annex 4* provides maps showing the worlds' Search and Rescue Regions. 3 This circular supersedes SAR.8/Circ.3 and contains the latest information based on replies received from Member Governments up to 30 November 2012. 4 This will be the last time this circular is distributed. From 1 December 2012, the information concerning the availability of SAR services has been made available through the COMSAR module of GISIS, which is accessible via the IMO website. The Maritime Safety Committee, at its ninty-first session, from 26 to 30 November 2012, decided that, as a consequence, there would be no need to issue the updated SAR.8 circular in future. 5 For more information on entering and updating information on SAR services into GISIS and how to get access to the information for operational use, see the attached COMSAR circular (COMSAR.1/Circ.55) at annex 5. 6 Governments are invited to check the information concerning the availability of SAR services and update the information in GISIS, as appropriate. 7 Member Governments who have not yet provided information concerning the availability of SAR services in their country are invited to do so as soon as possible. 8 Member Governments, ITU, ICAO, WMO, IHO, IMSO and the Cospas-Sarsat Partners are requested to bring this circular, and the information annexed hereto, to the attention of maritime, aviation, telecommunication, hydrographic and meteorological Authorities, SAR Authorities, Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres (MRCCs), Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centres (ARCCs), Coast Earth Stations (CESs), Coast Stations (CSs), Cospas-Sarsat Mission Control Centres (MCCs), hydrographers, shipowners, training institutions and seafarers. * Annexes in English only.
