Electric Propulsion in SAR Craft, Marine Rescue New South Wales

The IMRF’s Global Maritime SAR Forum (GMSF) is the world’s leading platform bringing the global SAR community together to exchange ideas, explore innovation, and learn from real-world experience - all with one shared goal: improving maritime search and rescue.

Each month, IMRF members can join a live virtual session featuring expert presentations, new technologies, practical insights, and open discussions where you can connect, question, and collaborate with SAR professionals from around the world. Can’t make a session? All presentations are available afterwards in this members-only area of our website.
