Lifeboat Callout

Incident De-brief Saturday 27th June

At 21:50 on Saturday evening, Jersey Coastguard requested the immediate launch of our inshore lifeboat, Albert Pinel, following reports of possible persons in the water in the vicinity of St Brelade’s Pier.

Launching just 13 minutes later, our volunteer crew responded alongside colleagues from Jersey Fire & Rescue Service, States of Jersey Police and the Ambulance Service. The ILB made best speed towards the scene before being stood down whilst enroute after it was confirmed that no one was in danger.

The incident was subsequently classified as a call with good intent. The ILB returned to station, where she was washed down and made ready for service once again.

In this instance, the informant did exactly the right thing. If you think you see someone in difficulty at sea, don’t hesitate, call 999 immediately and ask for Jersey Coastguard. We’d always rather respond and find everyone safe than risk someone not getting the help they need.
