Renewable energy company Ørsted has pledged its support to the RNLI with a new 3-year partnership A global leader in offshore wind, Ørsted will donate more than £200,000 to fund the running costs of lifeboats at Barrow, Clacton-on-Sea, Humber, New Brighton, Ramsgate, Skegness and Wells. Ørsted is also working with us to make the seas a safer place. In one recent example of this collaboration, Clacton-on-Sea RNLI volunteers worked with Ørsted staff in a training exercise. The scenario involved evacuating a mock casualty from a wind turbine. Clacton-on-Sea Lifeboat Operations Manager Dave Wells says: ‘This
partnership is more than just a corporate donation. It allows us to work with Ørsted on making sure we are prepared for all eventualities at sea. These realworld exercises are invaluable to equip our crew with the skills they need to carry out rescues effectively and safely.’
