Coast Guard donates boat to Sea Rescue

Last Friday, the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard donated a vessel to the Sea Rescue Foundation (SRF). The boat, a RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) was previously used as the fast interceptor of the cutter Poema and was transported with the HNLMS Pelikaan from the Dutch Navy from Curaçao. The director of SRF, mr. Frans Nieuwenhoven received the vessel from the Coast Guard Substation St. Maarten. SRF is a volunteer organization that works with the Coast Guard in Search and Rescue operations.
