PEARL RIVER SEARCH AND RESCUE EXERCISE A SUCCESS

*

THE 1992 PEARL RIVER SEARCH AND RESCUE EXERCISE CO-ORDINATED BY THE MARINE DEPARTMENT IS A SUCCESS AND HAS ACCOMPLISHED ITS OBJECTIVES IN TESTING CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATIONS AND RESCUE TECHNIQUES BETWEEN CHINA, MACAU AND HONG KONG.

TODAY

THIS WAS STATED BY THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF MARINE, MR IAN DALE, (WEDNESDAY) AFTER A WASH-UP MEETING ATTENDED BY 20 REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL AGENCIES WHO TOOK PART IN THE EXERCISE.

"THE EXERCISE WAS OF GREAT VALUE IN TESTING CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATIONS, RESPONSE TIME BY AGENCIES, AND PERSONNEL AND CRAFT INVOLVED IN THE EVACUATION OF 'SURVIVORS'

·

"THE ONLY PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED DURING THE EXERCISE WAS THE BREAKDOWN OF ONE OF THE RADIO CHANNELS ON THE 'ON SCENE' COMMANDER'S LAUNCH. THIS DELAYED THE TRANSMISSION OF SOME INSTRUCTIONS AND MESSAGES.

"THIS LED TO THE INITIAL CONFUSION ON THE ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL HONG KONG AUXILIARY AIR FORCE RESCUE HELICOPTER BUT WAS QUICKLY RECTIFIED," MR DALE SAID.
