NATIONAL MARITIME OPERATIONS CENTRE COORDINATES FIRST RESCUE

The National Maritime Operations Centre (NMOC) has coordinated its first rescue since the handover from Solent Coastguard.

The process of transferring operations has been taking place this week and were completed today. This means the NMOC now looks after the patch of coastline from Beachy Head in East Sussex to the Hampshire / Dorset border.

A Pan Pan message was picked up by the NMOC just after 3pm this afternoon. It was from a boat which had broken down to the east of Isle of Wight. An RNLI lifeboat from Selsey was sent to the scene and towed the vessel back to shore.
