Guernsey’s new Inshore Lifeboat started service on 1 July, as part of a two year trial.
Voyonic Crewing Limited has announced it is to be sponsoring the fuel for the duration of its trial period.
Neil Carrington, Chief Executive of Voyonic said: “As a marine employment company and as an ex-professional seafarer myself we have a natural affinity with the sea so it is great to be working with a charity that helps to keep people safe at sea.”
The Inshore Lifeboat is designed for rapid response and to be able to access shallower waters and has already proved useful since its launch in July.
Guernsey Lifeboat Guild Chairman, Celia Allen, said: “We are absolutely delighted that Voyonic has offered to help in such a practical way by sponsoring fuel for our new ILB. The fact that the sponsorship is for two years is very generous and thoughtful. The Guernsey Lifeboat Guild is very grateful for this great addition to the fundraising for the work of the Guernsey lifeboats.”
