PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - Plettenberg Bay sea rescue volunteers will soon be jetting off to London for a prestigious award ceremony as a result of their innovative approach to sea rescue.

The local National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) station commander Marc Rodgers and coxswain Robbie Gibson designed a rescue stretcher specifically for coastline rock-and-surf patient extrication.

As a result they were chosen as finalists in the 2019 International Maritime Rescue Federation’s innovation and technology awards. 

The awards luncheon is scheduled to be held in London on 10 September.
