Maritime search and rescue (SAR) operations, conducted for rendering aid to the victims in
need of help at sea, play a crucial role in dropping the number of causalities. Therefore, it is …

In this paper, a multi-criteria analysis is performed on the location of Maritime Search and
Rescue resources. Two well-known standard location models (the maximal covering …
