Search and Rescue Arrangements
The Guernsey Harbour Authority acts as the Coastguard for Bailiwick
of Guernsey waters providing search and rescue co-ordination and
maritime information through St Peter Port Radio on VHF Channels 16,
20 and 62. A continuous watch is kept on these Channels.
St Peter Port Radio is also equipped to receive VHF DSC distress
alerts and the Search and Rescue Co-ordinators are trained by the UK
Coastguard using the SARIS search and rescue IT system.
Search and Rescue Assets
The RNLI operates an all weather Severn Class lifeboat from St
Peter Port, Guernsey, an all weather Tyne Class lifeboat and an
Inshore lifeboat from Braye Harbour, Alderney. St John's Ambulance and
Rescue Service operates a marine ambulance from St Peter Port,
Guernsey and an Inshore lifeboat and cliff rescue service. Channel
Islands Air Search operates an Islander aircraft, call sign Air Search
1, which is continuously available for maritime search and is equipped
with radar, visual search and FLIR.
The French and UK Coastguard services also make their assets
available for use in the Channel Islands area if requested.
Points that may help you
Keep your boat registration details up to date (CG66 for UK
vessels). This information can be invaluable during search and rescue
operations.
Keep the Coastguard and your family informed of your boating plans
and any changes to those plans.
Check your engine transmission, fuel and filters regularly.
Register your EPIRBs and keep them secure.
Keep flares secure and dispose of out of date flares with the
Police.
Mobile telephones are no substitute for VHF, but please use them if
the need arises and always call early.
Passage reports and radio checks to St Peter Port Radio on Channel
20, not 16 or 12.
Do not go out in fog unless you are equipped with radar and know how
to use it.
Always wear a lifejacket if boating alone, at night, in poor weather
and for non-swimmers.
Always get an up to date weather forecast and plan your voyage
carefully taking into account the tidal predictions, limitations of
your vessel and your crew.
You should also check for navigation dangers on an up to date chart
and refer to a current Pilot and Almanac.
Have a contingency plan available should things go wrong and know
who to call when you need assistance.
