South Queensferry Lifeboat Busiest in Scotland
The motion
That the Parliament notes the vital service that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) performs, saving 140,000 lives at sea since its foundation in 1824; considers that the RNLI Queensferry Lifeboat Station has had a landmark year with the move to its state-of-the-art lifeboat station at Hawes Pier and the delivery of the latest Atlantic 85 lifeboat, Jimmie Cairncross; understands that statistics show that the station is the busiest in Scotland for the second consecutive year; recognises the dedication of the 14-strong crew of volunteers, who are on call 24 hours a day and who spent over 350 hours at sea in 2012 for a variety of calls, and applauds the efforts of the crew who, in 2012 alone, rescued 163 people.
