The inspection and registration of water vessels is now actively underway at the 5 Operational Search and Rescue (SAR) Centres across Uganda’s waters.
Unlike before, these services are now closer to users, with fully operational SAR centres strategically established across major water bodies—making it easier, faster, and more convenient for vessel owners to access inspection, licensing, and safety support services.
These centres are part of a nationwide maritime safety system designed to improve emergency response, reduce accidents, and promote compliance. Each facility is equipped with modern rescue tools and also serves as a hub for vessel registration and enforcement of safety standards.
📍 SAR centres are now operational in key landing sites including:
• Kaazi (Lake Victoria)
• Masese (Lake Victoria)
• Panyimur & Kaiso (Lake Albert)
• Zengebe (Lake Kyoga)
