DALIAN: Salvage and rescue teams across the Taiwan Straits will strengthen cooperation to deal with the increasing risk of accidents caused by the growing volume of traffic.

According to a letter of intent signed yesterday by the rescue and salvage committee of the China Institute of Navigation and the Taiwan-based Chinese Search and Rescue Association, the two agreed to draft an emergency response plan for maritime accidents in the Straits as soon as possible.

As these accidents call for immediate action, the two sides also agreed to strengthen communications and provide each other with the necessary assistance, Yin Liu-sheng, secretary-general of the Taiwan-based Chinese Search and Rescue Association, said.
