The Cospas-Sarsat satellite system’s channels have been put into operation at Cambodia’s Search and Rescue (SAR) points of contact (SPOC).

Speaking at a ceremony in Phnom Penh on December 20, Do Duc Tien, Deputy Head of the Vietnam Maritime Administration, to hand over data transmission channels, expressed his belief that these channels will operate effectively to serve the search and rescue activities to keep safety and security in transport activities in Cambodia.

As a member of the Cospas-Sarsat Organisation, Vietnam has helped Cambodia install equipment and train local staff who will receive, process and distribute data from the Cospas-Sarsat satellite.
