"This is an extremely important conference. Large emergencies and disasters at sea often require more than a single nation to handle with its own assets. Sub-regional integration is therefore of utmost importance."
Captain Jens-Adamsen, Royal Danish Air Force
“I believe this conference to be a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge and experiences from some of the worst disasters over recent years. This sharing of information will help to prepare individuals and teams to either directly or indirectly save more lives following incidents of major structural collapse.”
Sean Moore, UK ISAR National Coordinator
