The SOLAS convention mandates safety standards

The SOLAS Convention in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships

New satellite imaging concept proposed by University of Leicester-led team could significantly reduce search areas for missing boats and planes

A space scientist at the University of Leicester, in collaboration with the New Zealand Defence Technology Agency and DMC International Imaging, has been testing a concept for using satellite imagery to significantly improve the chances of locating ships and planes, such as the missing Malaysian flight MH370, lost at sea.

A preliminary study published this month in the International Journal of Remote Sensing, identified 54 satellites with 85 sensors, currently only taking images of land, which could be used to take images of the Earth’s oceans and inland waters.
