Ørsted first partnered with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 2015, helping to fund the lifeboat running costs of lifeboat stations in Barrow; Clacton-on-Sea; Humber; New Brighton; Ramsgate; and Wells ― all of which are close to Ørsted’s offshore wind farm locations. In 2018, Ørsted extended its partnership to include Skegness Lifeboat Station.
Our contribution has ensured volunteer crews can continue their lifesaving work at sea and to date has directly supported more than 1,700 lifeboat launches, helped more than 1,900 people in distress and saved 88 lives.
