Today, Friday 10th of March 2023, the Memorandum of Understanding between the JRCC, the Underwater Demolition Team Reserves Association and the Ayia Napa Marina was signed, defining the method and procedures of involvement of the UDT Reserves Association during SAR Operations, as well as the procedures for berthing, service and maintenance of the Association’s vessels and storing of their equipment at the Ayia Napa Marina.

The signing of the MoU highlights the importance of the cooperation of the government sector with the private sector and the volunteers, which is essential especially during crisis due to natural or manmade disasters.

The JRCC expresses warm thanks to the UDT Reserves Association and the Ayia Napa Marina for their response and contribution to the further enhancement of the Republic’s SAR System capabilities, particularly in case of close-to-shore navy accident.

Effort will be made for the development of more cooperations in all of non-occupied Cyprus in order to further minimize the response time and maximize our efficiency.
