  1. Technologies for Search, Assistance and Rescue Seminar Le Quartz - Brest, France - 18-19 October 2004 Welcome Philippe Marchand - Ifremer

  2. Ifremer’s Missions Ifremer’s missions are to conduct and promote basic and applied research, make expert assessment reports and take action for technological and industrial development intended to : • identify, evaluate and enhance marine resources and enable their substainable exploitation, • improve methods of monitoring, forecasting trends, protecting and enhancing marine and coastal environments, • encourage the economic development of maritime activities.

  3. Ifremer’s Activities • Coastal environment management • Marine living resource management • Ocean research • Engineering and marine technology • Managing ocean research vessels and tools for underwater intervention

  4. Key figures • An annual budget of nearly 150 million euros • 1,385 salaried employees at Ifremer and 320 salaried staff at Genavir (shipowner) • 5 centres : Brest, Manche/mer du Nord, Méditerranée, Nantes, Tahiti • 72 laboratories or research departments, located in 24 stations along the coastline of metropolitan France and in the French overseas administrative departments and territories • An entire range of facilities for aquaculture production and experimentation • 7 vessels (4 of them blue ocean), 1 manned submersible, 1 remotely-operated deep sea (- 6,000 m) vehicle • A full set of test facilities

  5. Technologies for search, assistance and rescue at sea • The aim of the seminar is to exchange information about technological needs and solutions to prevent incidents at sea from turning into major disasters, to discuss on-going projects, and to pool our efforts in order to build synergies between relevant stakeholders and nations and to promote the dissemination of means of protection throughout the maritime industry.
