MRI Boats

MRI Operates three Self Righting SAR Lifeboats:

MRI 24 (reserve SAR Lifeboat) , MRI 28 and MRI 42. The MRI 42 is mostly utilised for rescues away from the rock foot. The MRI 28 is specifically designed for inshore rescues.

Team work, safety and efficiency is the key to success in SAR Operations, and can only be achieved by an experienced and well trained team using fit for purpose equipment.
