RNLI Macduff

Located in a major fishing port, Macduff lifeboat station was designed by a local architect who also designed the recently opened Fraserburgh lifeboat station.? Macduff was the first station to be allocated an Atlantic 85 lifeboat in 2006, the most technologically advanced inshore lifeboat designed by the charity, of which there are currenlty only 19 operating around the uk and Ireland today. The launch system for this is unique as it is launched from a mobile crane. The Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) is towed to a suitable site by the crane and it is then used to lower the ILB off the trolley and into the water.
