Nato Submarine Rescue System Conducts Training Exercise in Scotland
The Nato Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) is preparing for potential submarine rescues, conducting a two-week training exercise off Norway. With its ability to mobilize globally within 72 hours, NSRS is crucial for ensuring submariner safety.

The Nato Submarine Rescue System (NSRS), based in Renfrew, Scotland, is undergoing a two-week training exercise off Norway. It has been operational for nearly 20 years without a rescue deployment, but it maintains a state of readiness to assist submarines in distress, capable of responding within 72 hours.
Recently, over 100 personnel and 27 vehicles loaded equipment onto the Norwegian coastguard vessel Bergen for the exercise, which will test the Nemo submersible at depths of 610 meters. The system, which includes the world's largest compressed air decompression system, can accommodate 76 individuals for up to 2.5 days.
NSRS is a collaborative effort with Norway and France, and it operates under JFD management. The next joint exercise with its intervention remotely operated vehicle (IROV) is scheduled for 2027.
