🚨Joint training exercise 🚨

On Tuesday evening as part of Operation Atlantis and the Atlantis Alliance we joined forces with our RNLI Lifeguards, Lincolnshire Maritime and Coastguard Agency, Lincolnshire Police and National Coastwatch Mablethorpe for a combined training exercise.

These exercises are vital in ensuring all agencies can work seamlessly together when responding to incidents along the coastline. By training side-by-side, crews are able to develop their understanding of each other’s capabilities, equipment and procedures.

To finish off the evening we were joined by our colleagues from RNLI Skegness. They brought their all-weather lifeboat Joel And April Grunnill and were able to carry out a towing exercise with our Atlantic 85 Jacquline Saville.

Many thanks to everyone involved, giving up their evening to help strengthen their skills. It was a fantastic training session and a great opportunity to prepare for the busy summer season ahead.

🚨🌊 You’ll See Us. You’ll Hear Us. But There’s No Cause for Concern. 🌊🚨
Between 5pm and 9pm, you may notice a large emergency service presence across the Mablethorpe coastline.
This is a major joint training exercise part of Operation Atlantis and the Atlantis Alliance.
Tonight's exercise involves -
👮‍♀️ Lincolnshire Police
🚑 HM Coastguard
🚤 RNLI Lifeboat and RNLI Lifeguards for Lincolnshire
🔭 National Coastwatch Institution
As we head into the busy summer season, our teams are coming together to train, test and strengthen how we respond to coastal emergencies.
✔️ Realistic scenarios
✔️ High visibility activity
✔️ Serious training to keep people safe
🔹 This is a planned exercise
🔹 No action is required from the public
🔹 All activity is controlled and supervised
Exercises like this ensure that when real incidents happen, our emergency services are ready to act fast, together, and effectively.
A spokes person from Lincolnshire Police, said:
“Tonight's training is about making sure that all agencies who protect our coastline are fully prepared to work together when it matters most. These exercises allow us to test our joint response, strengthen communication, and ensure we are operationally ready as we head into the busy summer period.
While people may see a significant emergency service presence, this is a planned training exercise and there is no cause for concern. It also highlights the fantastic work carried out by our officers, partners, and volunteers who work tirelessly to keep the public safe.”
Thank you for your understanding and for supporting the people who work and volunteer to keep our coastline safe.

🌊RNLI Mablethorpe Lifeboat Station were delighted to welcome residents from Willow Park on Sunday morning.

💛The station received a kind donation from the proceeds raised by Willow Park from their recent fundraising event.

🌊Our volunteers were able to give a tour of the station and personally thank the residents of Willow Park for their continued support.

💛The RNLI relies entirely on voluntary donations. Without your support and help our volunteer life savers couldn't do what they do best - saving lives at sea
