The ICE-SAR Fundraiser





Frequent ship losses, together with the tragic deaths of fishermen, marked the start of the work of ICE-SAR. Many of the association’s rescue teams on the coast are specially trained to search and rescue, both at sea and along the coast of Iceland. Around 150 Lifeboats of all sizes and makes are always ready for use, equipped with tough, well-trained crews.

ICE-SAR runs the well-equipped rescue coordination station MRCC Costal, in conjunction with the Ships Reporting Duty that was started with the assistance of ICE-SAR in 1968. The association bears responsibility for the administration of search and rescue procedures along the coast and in the adjoining sea.

I can't think about a better organization than the ICE-SAR to dedicate my fundraising efforts to. Not only do their boats look similar to the ones used by the Irish RNLI (www.rnli.co.uk), after all, it is a reassuring fact the ICE-SAR has several life boathouses along Iceland's coast, providing a substantial safety net for mariners traveling the Icelandic waters.
