(Note: there is no elevator in the bldg) Point of Contact is Mr. Benjamin Strong , 212-668-7762.
Amver, sponsored by the United States Coast Guard, is a unique, computer-based, and voluntary global ship reporting system used worldwide by search and rescue authorities to arrange for assistance to persons in distress at sea. With Amver, rescue coordinators can identify participating ships in the area of distress and divert the best-suited ship or ships to respond. Amver's mission is to quickly provide search and rescue authorities, on demand, accurate information on the positions and characteristics of vessels near a reported distress.
Amver awards provide worldwide exposure and serve as an instrument of our nation's foreign policy to express the appreciation of the United States Government to foreign governments and industry officials for the voluntary participation of its ships in this humanitarian program.
