Who answers where at sea

Last verified:

Tap the sea anywhere: the map shows the rescue centre responsible for those waters, the number to call and what to ask for — the same data and rule the VesselSOS app uses to dial. Areas are drawn approximately; on the radio, MAYDAY on VHF channel 16 reaches whoever hears you.

TAP THE SEA

Tap any point at sea — or use your position — to see who coordinates rescue there.

Areas are approximate boxes drawn over each centre's waters, not the official search-and-rescue region lines. Numbers are checked against each authority's own page — see all countries, the change log and the open data. Map: © OpenStreetMap contributors, sea marks © OpenSeaMap.
