Africa-Press – Angola. The Council of Ministers (CM) approved, this Wednesday, the Presidential Decree that creates the National Integrated Search and Rescue System, as well as the respective legal regime.
The document, according to the final communiqué of the meeting chaired by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, contains legislative and regulatory measures applicable to the Aircraft Search, Assistance and Rescue Service.
The measure is also applicable to the service of vessels, ships or maritime devices and persons in danger at sea, on land and in inland navigable waters, under national jurisdiction.
This diploma, says the statement, results from the responsibilities arising from Angola’s adherence to International Conventions, namely that of Chicago, called the Convention on Civil Aviation, the International Convention for the Saving of Life at Sea and on Search and Rescue.
The measure aims to establish an international search and rescue plan, to respond to the needs of maritime traffic, with regard to the rescue of people in danger at sea.
