Ørsted Evolves Long-Standing Partnership With RNLI

The title of this post, is the same as this news item from Ørsted.

This is the sub-heading.

Ørsted, the global leader in offshore wind power and one of the largest renewable energy companies in the world, has announced the latest phase of its long-standing partnership with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).

These three paragraphs give a few more details of the partnership.

Over the next two years, Ørsted will provide more than £140,000 to help the charity in its mission to save lives at sea.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea and its volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service across the British Isles.

Established in 2015, the partnership previously focused on supporting seven individual lifeboat stations in areas where Ørsted operates its offshore windfarms and is now evolving to support even more lifeboat stations.

Little is said about what benefits Ørsted get from the partnership.

Although, this is said.

Previously focused on supporting seven individual lifeboat stations in areas where Ørsted operates its offshore windfarms.

Does this mean, that for small incidents, the RNLI can do the rescue or perhaps tow a broken-down workboat to the shore?

In a busy area, the RNLI might even act as backup to Ørsted’s own safety boat, if a second incident occurred.

It might be a more affordable way to ensure safe operation, which is obviously paramount.

Conclusion

As the partnership is being extended, it must surely have been working well.
