Who determines if there is a distress or potential distress situation?
A Joint Rescue Coordination Centre or Maritime Rescue Sub-Centre should be notified by the mariner when a vessel breaks down at sea. This is done by contacting the nearest CCG Marine Communication and Traffic Services Centre. The Coast Guard will keep in contact with the mariner to determine if persons are in distress. The ultimate determination remains with the master or operator of the disabled vessel.
