Whitby Lifeboat Back in Service After Maintenance

13-49 Lois Ivan is back on service today after a week in dry dock.

Whitby’s Launch A Memory Shannon Class Lifeboat, Lois Ivan, has been having some well deserved TLC this week.

She has been in the dry dock at the local boatyard Parkol Marine where her hull has been cleaned, the water jets serviced, and her paint work given a coat of polish.

Whilst this was going on on the outside, two engineers were installing an upgraded onboard firefighting system on the inside - to keep the volunteer crews safe in the event of a fire onboard.

Relief RNLI Lifeboat 13-26 has been on station in Whitby this week to allow the lifesaving service to continue while the work was carried out.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
