Her Majesty\u2019s Coastguard has one National Maritime Operation Centre (NMOC) which is based in Fareham in Hampshire. In addition to the National Maritime Operations Centre there are ten Coastguard Operations Centres (CGOCs) which are located at: Aberdeen; Belfast; Dover; Falmouth; Holyhead; Humber; Milford Haven; Shetland; Stornoway; and London.<\/p>
<\/p>
The NMOC and the CGOCs form a fully integrated and flexible national network which allows Her Majesty\u2019s Coastguard to fulfil its national and international functions, which includes the initiation and coordination of civil maritime and aeronautical search and rescue.<\/p>
<\/p>
As defined by international convention the six key functions of the integrated national network are; search and rescue; pollution and response; vessel traffic management; maritime safety; maritime security and emergency; and disaster management. All centres are equipped to respond to such incidents 24/7/365.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the NMOC also incorporates the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre and the Mission Control Centre, which are responsible for tasking of all Her Majesty\u2019s Coastguard search and rescue aviation assets and the receipt and response to distress beacons respectively.<\/p>
<\/p>
All Her Majesty\u2019s Coastguard centres are equipped to receive, respond and coordinate all distress, urgency and alert situations within the UK Search and Rescue Region. This includes an integrated command and control system, search planning, integrated mapping and communications systems, including satellite-based services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The below table demonstrates how many full-time equivalent operational staff, by job role, are expected to be at each location.<\/p>
