In An Emergency

In an emergency, dial 111 and ask for Police.

If you're on the water and have a VHF radio, call Channel 16, the international channel for maritime distress, and issue a Mayday call:

• Say 'mayday, mayday, mayday' and state your vessel name and location, then repeat three times.

• If possible please provide details of the emergency.

• Keep calling until you get a response and follow any instructions.
