They were doing what they signed up to do. The choice of customer is hardly theirs, is it? This is a short compilation of various lifeboat rescues in some pretty severe weather conditions. The RNLI never refuse a 'shout' and take to the sea whatever the weather. As usual Antonys venom is no other reason than his dislike of migrants who he describes as "drunk male chancers high on drugs and booze", (yet has the gall to accuse other fm's of 'going all Hollywood' *-) ). He won't read either of these articles as neither are conducive to his anti-migrant/refugee narrative, one by Oxford University Faculty of Law, explaining the legal obligation under maritime law to saving lives of people at sea. Farage should read up on this too. There is a duty pursuant to international law for a ship to attempt the rescue of persons at danger at sea. This duty is based on a long-standing and strongly felt moral obligation among seafarers. This is stated, for example, in the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) Article 98 the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), Regulation V-33. All states recognize this duty. One implication of this rule is that a state cannot legally prohibit its vessels from rescuing persons at sea: states must accept that their vessels engage in rescue operations. It is sometimes suggested that migrant vessels heading from Africa to Europe are so unseaworthy, overloaded and in such bad shape, that they are unlikely to make it to the destination. It is thus suggested that the rules of maritime rescue do not apply. I can see no legal basis for this argument. Most likely, the majority of ships in the need of a rescue have ended up in this situation because they are unseaworthy, and it would be quite harsh that passengers should pay with their lives for not having ensured the seaworthiness of the vessel. Non-assistance to refugees and migrants at sea is not a legal option. https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/research-subject-groups/centre-criminology/centreborder-criminologies/blog/2020/03/duty-rescue Distress at sea doesn't just arise when people are in the water and in danger of drowning, but when a person, the ship itself or a valuable cargo is in imminent danger. So it doesn't have to be bad weather, Distress at sea arises, for example, when a ship is completely overloaded, so that one small wave or movement on board is enough to make it capsize. So with the boats that cross the Mediterranean with migrants and refugees, you almost have to consider them all as cases of distress at sea, because they are mostly not seaworthy, and that means there is a real and present danger. https://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/21314/sea-rescue-what-the-law-says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtainRaiser Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Bulletguy - 2021-08-01 4:10 PM This is a short compilation of various lifeboat rescues in some pretty severe weather conditions. The RNLI never refuse a 'shout' and take to the sea whatever the weather. Actually Paul, technically that is not correct. The chain of command is, normally, call from coastguard to the lifeboat station’s Lifeboat Operations Manager (LOM) or Deputy Launch Authority (DLA). If a launch is agreed, the coastguard will then page the crew. That way a detached view of the dangers can be made before any red mist descends. If it is clear that dispatching the crew will put more lives at risk then the LOM / DLA will make the coastguard aware that the RNLI cannot provide a rescue from that station. Determining factors can be both weather conditions and a lack of crew members to fully man the boat - rare but it does happen. The RNLI has different boats at different locations and sometimes the call will be passed to another station with a more suitable boat which maybe further away.

But hey - any port in a storm when the target's in play, innit! :-D I'm trying to protect the RNLI ... Selfish chancers who could have claimed asylum in many safe countries before screaming for help in British waters should not be putting our brave RNLI lives at risk ... Try keep it real Protect them from what, exactly? Going to sea in calm conditions, and rescuing people from grossly overloaded inflatables? You may not realise, being from a inland town, but the RNLI regularly exercise in their craft, even when it's rough. If they didn't, they wouldn't be much use, would they? They were doing what they signed up to do. The choice of customer is hardly theirs, is it? Lordy ... Lifeboat accidents are obviously your speciality, not mine so I had to look up lifeboat accidents and it seems that in just the last 10 years some 60 crew have died with 145 injuries ... Those numbers were just from accidents carrying out the "regular exercise" you know so much about ... You know best You raised lifeboat accidents, not me, and I made, nor make, any such claim. Yes, being a lifeboatman is dangerous: I'd have thought that was fairly obvious. But as our resident expert on migrants crossing the Channel, it won't have escaped your notice that the majority arrive on grossly overloaded inflatables. Such grossly overloaded inflatables would not survive even half way across the Channel' on anything more than a slight swell, let alone survive to enter British waters. In fact it is amazing that some (probably the ones we never see or hear of) , even get off the beach in a calm sea. The string was about the disgraceful behaviour of some towards these brave men and women. If you re-read what I wrote, and then engage the little grey cells before replying, you may see that your above reply is 1) nonsense and 2) irrelevant. Over! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
