The IMRF (International Maritime Rescue Federation) Awards 2019 are now open for nominations, offering a chance to recognise incredible people, new innovations and technologies that make saving lives at sea possible, even in the most difficult and demanding circumstances.
Captain Nick Guerchev, a winner of The IMRF Vladimir Maksimov Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Maritime SAR Sector in 2018, and chairman of BULSAR, the Bulgarian maritime search and rescue service, suggests that maybe maritime SAR specialists are distinguished by their altruism and their incredible commitment to helping others.
He explains that: “In every search and rescue mission, you live with the thought that the survival of those in distress depends on you, and so you make every, every effort until even the tiniest possibility of survival is exhausted.”
