Please do not use this page to report an emergency. If you are reporting an incident around the coastline or at sea please dial 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard. Contacting us directly could result in a delay to required search and rescue assets being deployed.

An RNLI Shannon‑class lifeboat (number RNLI 13‑31) sits on a tracked launching rig on a wide, flat beach. The sand is wet and reflective, showing the deep tracks left by the vehicle. The sky is cloudy with patches of blue, and the sea is calm in the distance.
