Description
Summary:Abstract A complex analysis of the security situation in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation shows the limited independent capabilities of the EMERCOM of Russia in solving the problems of search and rescue at sea area across the entire width of territorial waters. An effective method for organizing search and rescue at sea in the Arctic can be interagency and intergovernmental cooperation based on the Agreement on Cooperation in Aviation and Maritime Search and Rescue in the Arctic and the Polar Code. In order to increase the efficiency of the tasks being solved, it is proposed to strengthen the coordinating role of the control bodies of functional and territorial subsystems in their search and rescue activities in internal waters and the territorial sea. The authors proposed a solution consisting of the integration of information resources of information and coordination centers in Murmansk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky with the information capabilities of the functional subsystems of the EMERCOM of Russia and equipping Arctic complex emergency rescue centers with ice-class ships.
