Inshore rescue
The service is trained and equipped to respond to incidents at sea, and close to shore. This can involve recovering people who have become stranded on rocks which are exposed when the tide is low, and submerged at high-tide.
The service has recently developed its own Inshore Rescue Boat. The Hull is a Humber Base, unlike the previous D-class lifeboat (EA16) lifeboat. Fabrication and development included DPM Nautique and FRS Personnel
Cliff rescue
Jersey has many cliffs on its coastline, and the service is able to rescue people from these cliffs using specialised equipment.[2]
