The Study On The Optimization Of SAR Resources Allocation Against Marine Perils

Marine resources are the common wealth to human beings, Convention on the Law of the Sea of United Nations ensures that all the people or nations of the world could share these gifts from God peacefully without any harmful to others or environment. Yet, with the rapid grow of marine economy, public safety and security is challenged by the accidents happened on the high sea. The successful search-and-rescue (SAR) depends mainly on the co-operation of the people and governments around the world. But the present search-and-rescue mechanism is based on individual responsibilities of each Nation or district, and this will definitely lead to the redundant construction and the behavior of'hitch-hike'.This paper focuses on the optimization of SAR resource allocation of marine perils and the so called optimization is determined by the efficient utilization of resources and fairness of cost or benefit allocation within the coalition.In the first part of this paper, the concerning approaches and investigation about the resource allocation is reviewed previously. In the second part, the author presents the hierarchy of co-operation mechanism on the search and rescue on high sea, especially, the definition of water accidents is defined and the function of risk is amended with the factor of extent of controllable, and this is fundamental and critical to all the researches of the following chapter. In the third part, based on the externality of accident, the drives of coalition formation is discussed and the stability of the mechanism of the co-operation is investigated and analyzed, needless to say, all researches are based on the equity and efficiency of the cost allocation. In the fifth chapter, based on the Tort Responsibility Act, the effect to the optimization of resources allocation under different compensation rules is discussed separately, especial to the special rules and regulations on the compensation of marine accidents are analyzed accordingly. In the last chapter, conclusions and comments are given to the use of the donation of this paper.According to this paper, author conclude that:(1) the total socail SAR resource allocation level should be determined by the social As-Low-As-Reasonable-Practically risk (ALARP) of the area; (2) the regulated allocation level of the subject of liability of compensation should be based on the reasoble allocation; (3) all the benefits or costs of the whole coalition should be allocated basis on the balance of fairness and efficient within the coalition; (4) the special rules and regulations for maritime accident is not affected the optimization of the emergency resources allocation.
