    Greetings from Bermuda!
    I have stumbled upon your website looking for the rescue torpedo buoys that you have a picture of with some of your other kit. Can you please tell me who the supplier is of those buoys? They are hard to come by these days.
    Thanks!

    Hi Nathan

    Not sure who supplies HM Coastguard but they can be bought from various companies. Googled it and here is a company in the UK that sells them. http://www.aspli.com/product_detail.asp?cat1=4&cat2=83&cat3=&pid=962
    They also do other water related safety equipment.

    I believe the torpedo buoy we currently have is a old design.

    Hope this helps and please keep visiting our website. Are you with the Coastguard in Bermuda?

    Hi,

    I am part of a group who want to swim across loch Ness, and was advised to call you for information by the Inverness Tourist Information Office. The number they gave seems to be hitting a fax machine – could you please email me some info.

    Thanks,
    Tehseen.

    Hi

    We are having a wedding at Castle Stuart, Dalcross on 31st October 2009 and we were planning to release some Chinese Sky Lanterns as part of the celebrations.
    Could you advise who to contact as we certainly don’t want to spark an “alert” by doing this.

    Thanks

    Liz

    • invernesscoastguard Says:

      Hi Liz

      Thank you for enquiring about this kind of display as you are correct it would most likely spark a land, sea and air search. There is 2 ways you could notify us. If they are going to set the lanterns off at a pre-arranged time then you can contact Aberdeen Coastguard Maritime Co-ordenation Centre on 01224 592334 and advise them of the date, time and location. If you are unsure what time they will be set off you can call 5mins before setting them off on the above number providing the location.

      Hope the wedding goes well and we will keep a lookout for your lanterns.

        Thank you so much for the information and will follow your advice.

        Thanks again
        Liz
