Lifeboat Services
Lifeboat Services are essential maritime operations that provide rescue and assistance to individuals in distress at sea. These services are typically carried out by trained volunteers or professionals who operate lifeboats, which are specially designed boats for saving lives in emergencies. They respond to various situations, including shipwrecks, capsized vessels, and people stranded in rough waters.
In many countries, organizations like the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in the United Kingdom and the U.S. Coast Guard in the United States coordinate these efforts. Lifeboat crews are equipped with the necessary tools and training to perform rescues safely and efficiently, ensuring that those in peril receive timely help.
