WHEN REQUIRED ?
Guidelines for Coastal States
 
4.1       Resolution A.950(23) outlines the situations in which the services of the MAS are involved; they are:
 
.1         the ship is involved in an incident (e.g., loss of cargo, accidental discharge of oil, etc.) that does not impair its seakeeping ability but nevertheless has to be reported;
 
.2         the ship, according to its Master’s assessment, is in need of assistance but not in a distress situation (about to sink,fire developing, etc.) that requires the rescue of those on board; and
 
.3         the ship is found to be in a distress situation and those on board have already been rescued, with the possible exception of those who had remained aboard or have been placed on board to attempt to deal with the ship’s situation.
