Welcome Wednesday

There is something comforting about the fact there are thousands, approximately 6,000 a day, ships sailing the world's oceans and available for search and rescue. Seafarers, yachtsmen, and those who are so desperate that they take to the seas, should take comfort knowing that Amver is there to help them in their moment of need. Help us welcome the newest members of the Amver safety network.

Welcome Wednessday

Seven new ships joined Amver this week. Why is this important? Amver ships help fill a void that traditional search and rescue resources can't fill. The United States Coast Guard and our partners around the world are professional and pride themselves on answering calls for help. But, we can't be everywhere. This is where Amver fills the void. An Amver ship can rescue a person anywhere in the world within a few hours. Amver is a force multiplier and we are grateful our participants ensure no call for help goes unanswered. Help us welcome the latest Amver members.

Welcome Wednesday

If you're wondering who joined Amver this week, look no further. We had five new ships enroll, ensuring no call for help goes unanswered. Why is something like Amver important? Take the most recent case of a grounded cruise ship with 206 people aboard near Greenland. That is reason enough to have robust options like these vessels to assist in search and rescue anywhere in the world. Please help us welcome our latest members.
