HM Coastguard has been collaborating internationally to become a leading authority on incidents near offshore installations. This article discusses HM Coastguard’s expertise in search and rescue operations around offshore wind farms by focusing on enhancing drift modelling; a method for predicting where objects or people may drift due to wind and tide. The research will contribute to updates in the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue manual, which provides global best-practice guidelines. HM Coastguard advises on safety around wind farms and collects data through experiments to improve search and rescue operations. The research is crucial for refining procedures and ensuring effective responses to emergencies at sea.
