What is Amver?
The Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue System, sponsored by the United States Coast Guard, is a computer-based voluntary global ship reporting system used worldwide by search and rescue authorities to arrange for assistance to persons in distress at sea.

How does Amver work?
• Merchant ship owners or managers enter specific information about their vessels into the Amver database.
• Prior to sailing, participating ships send a sail plan to the Amver computer center. Vessels then report their locations every 48 hours until arriving at their port of call.

How does Amver work?
• Search and rescue controllers are able to predict the position of each ship at any point during its voyage.
• The position of each participating ship is displayed in an Amver surface picture.
• In an emergency, any rescue coordination center can request this surface picture to determine the relative position of Amver ships near the distress location and divert the best suited ship to respond.
