    From the Desk of The Chairman National Maritime Search & Rescue Board The Indian Ocean Region continues to be at the centre stage of global maritime trade with ever increasing maritime traffic and oceanic developments. This entails requirement of an efficient maritime search and rescue architecture so as to provide timely succor to the seafarers. As we collectively tide over the challenges of mounting SAR requirements due to notable impetus on shipping, fishing and ancillary infrastructure along the Indian coast, a collaborative and sustained approach towards resources integration and capacity building is inescapable for efficient provision of search and rescue operations at sea. The year 2017 was challenging for search and rescue operations as the sheer number of persons in desperate need of rescue at sea was unprecedented, particularly during the severe Cyclone ‘Ockhi’. However, I place on record the excellent collective efforts put in by NMSARB members and each resource agency in extending prompt search, rescue and relief services to stranded fishermen at sea during the Cyclone’s catastrophic period. The well designed SAR plan coupled with prompt and coordinated response not only resulted in the rescue of 850 fishermen at sea but also facilitated an unprecedented Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief effort to thousands of stranded fishermen facing nature’s fury. However, I must bring out that lack of critical life saving gear and communication equipment, including low cost Distress Alert Transmitter onboard fishing boats continues to be the weakest link in the SAR mechanism in Indian waters. Even though Indian Coast Guard, Indian Navy, State Fisheries and other departments are making all out efforts to sensitize fishermen by way of regular Community Interaction Programmes on safety and survival criticalities, I would urge all NMSARB members and agencies to collectively stride towards enhancing awareness of safety of life at sea amongst the coastal populace.
