Thank you, SAR Katwijk!🛟

SAR Katwijk is an emergency services event. All kinds of emergency services talk about their work and put on demonstrations. From the fire department to Customs, from the @KatwijkseReddingsbrigade to tow truck companies: they were all there in Katwijk. So there was plenty for the public to see and experience.🚨

The pager goes off. An alarm comes in for the lifeboat. People or animals are in distress and need help. Time for action. Volunteers on the lifeboat are always on standby, while colleagues on shore organize everything. Together they form a close-knit team that is ready day and night. As a KNRM volunteer, you will have the opportunity to develop yourself, follow professional training courses, and experience special moments. More than 1,500 volunteers throughout the Netherlands are committed to saving lives every day.

We are looking for new volunteers for our rescue station. Would you like to contribute to this important work? Then sign up now as a crew member or volunteer on shore.

Marine Rescue Ballina’s new vessel arrived to enthusiastic applause, with supporters lining the North Wall to welcome her in. Those attending were able to step aboard to view the interior and examine her state-of-the-art electronic systems. The acquisition of this vessel has been made possible through the continued support of the Ballina community. Their contributions ensure that volunteers have the equipment required to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies on the water. This support is genuinely valued, and the organisation acknowledges that such work could not be carried out without it.

Sea rescue classics: “Yes! We're coming!” The sea rescuers at the DGzRS station in Norderney throw on their oilskins and cork life jackets, start the two compressorless 72 hp diesel engines of the BREMEN motor rescue boat, and head for the Schluchter channel – the notorious sea passage off the East Frisian island. The motor rescue boat rides the meter-high ground swells. Spray whips the crew in the face as they plow through the surf.

There! An unmaneuverable ship, tossed about by the waves, is in danger of running aground on a treacherous shoal. The sea rescuers use their special equipment, which was no less modern then than it is today, to pull the shipwrecked crew safely on board.

The DGzRS is responsible for maritime search and rescue services in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. They finance all their work exclusively through donations and voluntary contributions.

From RS Facebook page (translated):

"The worst that could happen, has happened. We’ve lost one of our lifeguards, when he did the most important thing a lifeboat crew can do: To try and save another life. In the sorrow we are in, it is important to remember that the rescue operation is still ongoing. Our thoughts go first and foremost to the relatives, to the crew who participated in the rescue operation and to all colleagues who are deeply affected today. In the days to come, it's about taking care of each other"
RS Secretary-General Grete Herlofson.

Every summer, people find themselves in dangerous situations while mudflat hiking—often underestimated, never planned. In this short documentary, the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) shows how quickly mudflat hiking can become dangerous and how to hike safely through the fascinating habitat of the Wadden Sea.

Experienced mudflat guide Dark Blome recounts how he found himself in an emergency situation with a mudflat hiking group between Amrum and Föhr on Easter Monday 2025 and called the sea rescue service.

Marine Rescue Ballina was asked to assist a 30 meter ketch and deliver fuel to keep their bilge pumps working until they could get to a safe haven to render repairs. Ballina Bar was breaking wall to wall with a three meter swell and a runout tide.

The system for responding to incidents in the North Sea needs to be put in order as soon as possible. That will require improved communication and information sharing between the Coastguard Centre and its cooperating organisations on shore. This is the conclusion of the Dutch Safety Board in its investigation of the emergency response to the fire that broke out on board the car carrier Fremantle Highway during the night of 25 to 26 July 2023.
