The Irish Coast Guard hosted a day of the International Maritime Rescue Federation Crew Exchange Program in Crosshaven CG station. We were joined by Search and Rescue colleagues from Sweden, Norway, France, Finland, Holland and the UK for a day of learning and sharing experiences

🏥 🚤 This morning, we deployed our new stretcher on exercise. The stretcher floats in water, and helps us package and transport someone with significant injuries in the boat. 📸 Old photo of retired boat Grainne from the archives, of how we “used to do it” a decade ago.

The Coast Guard led a large scale multi agency maritime exercise today, Blue Horizon, simulating a response to a major maritime incident on the West coast, involving a fire and explosion onboard a passenger ferry. Thanks to all who participated in the exercise.#IRCG
