Royal Dutch Rescue Organisation KNRM
Rescuing and preventing casualties at sea and the spacious inland water, that is the core task of KNRM.
Sailor in distress? Surfer missing? Sailing yacht with broken mast due to strong winds? KNRM's rescuers and lifeboats are on standby 24 hours a day to rescue people in any weather. But also on the beach and in the dunes, KNRM's coastal vehicles help in hard-to-reach places.
