Foundation for Humanitarian Action at Sea (FHAS)

The Foundation for Humanitarian Action at Sea (FHAS) is dedicated to improving the response to maritime emergencies involving vessels in distress along migration routes. As these routes become increasingly dangerous, FHAS works to bring together key stakeholders, including states, the maritime industry, international organisations, search-and-rescue professionals, and NGO’s, to address these challenges collaboratively and effectively.
Our approach bridges gaps by uniting expertise from the political, humanitarian and maritime communities. Through this, we support diverse actors in addressing emergencies with pragmatic, humane, and sustained responses.
