The Places of Refuge Contingency Plan ( PORCP ) applies to all situations where a ship is in need of assistance and requests a place of refuge within Canadian waters. This includes Canada’s internal waters, territorial sea and the Exclusive Economic Zone ( EEZ ).
The PORCP also applies in the case where a ship is destined for Canada and has reported a problem (a defect, deficiency or a casualty).
The PORCP does not apply to distress situations where the safety of life is involved. In such cases, established search and rescue procedures shall be followed.
