An Adaptation of an Algorithm of Search and Rescue Operations to Ship Manoeuvrability L. Kasyk & K. Pleskacz Maritime University of Szczecin, Poland
ABSTRACT: This article presents an overview of an algorithm to facilitate action when planning search and rescue operations, taking into account actual hydro‐meteorological conditions and the maneuverability of ships involved in the search.
1 INTRODUCTION
2 THE SAR ACTION ALGORITHM
Under provisions of international law and humanitarian considerations, ship masters are obliged to assist others in distress at sea whenever they can safely do so. The specific obligations arising from the international conventions: International Convention on Marine Search and Rescue; Regulation V/10 of the International Convention for the safety of Life at Sea, SOLAS 1974.
The proposed algorithm is a tool whose task is to integrate one different sources of information. The final effect should be the most optimal search scheme.
In 1998, based on the above regulations, the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual for Mobile Facilities (IAMSAR 2005) was developed. All officers must be familiar with its contents and be regularly trained. The manual is intended to be carried aboard every bridge. It contains the standard methods and procedures for searching, and principles of cooperation and coordination in various circumstances. However, in the stressful situations commonly encountered during SAR action, it would be useful to provide a ship’s master with more modern tools for decision‐making. This could be, for example, a simple algorithm that you could use in conjunction with the available data to develop an SAR action plan.
Input items can be divided into two groups. The first are individual manoeuvring characteristics and bathymetric information obtained from ECDIS. The second group are the variable elements. These are the hydro‐meteorological conditions prevailing in the area; The observed wind speed and direction. This can be estimated by observation when approaching the place of action; The total water currents – these values are in the database or ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), or provided on traditional navigation maps; For search action to be effective there must be a pre‐planned search pattern. It will be necessary to establish the starting point of the action or geographic references for the area to be searched. The following factors should be considered:

The reported position and time of the SAR incident; The type of search object; Person in water – not drifting in the wind, only in currents; Life raft – the drift depends on the use of a ballast system or drogue. Several types of life raft should be considered (e.g. for 4, 6, 15 and 25 persons); Boats – different sizes (e.g.
