AMVER, sponsored by the United States Coast Guard, is a unique, computer-based, and voluntary global ship reporting system used worldwide by search and rescue authorities to arrange for assistance to persons in distress at sea. With Amver, rescue coordinators can identify participating ships in the area of distress and divert the best-suited ship or ships to respond.
6-Step Process for Evacuee Accountability, Care, and Processing
Communications Best Practices - Since the owner and USCG require essentially the same information after and incident has occurred the following practices are recommended to reduce the communications demands on the vessel and permit the master to focus on the emergency:
Evacuee Handling - Reception Center Job Aid
Getting to Grips with the Human Factor - The UK Club identified in its first Analysis of Major Claims in 1990 that ‘human error’ accounted for 58% of all its claims over US$100,000.
