MRI 42
MRI 42: History of MRI 42 The '42' was originally built as one of the RNLI Medina project boats in 1984 as a trial craft. MRI rediscovered her in 2000, lying in Liverpool and bought her. She was totally stripped, lengthened and rebuilt by Amble Boatyard to modern requirements and specification and re launched in October 2001. Mr David Stogdon MBE was the boat designer and performed the naming ceremony on behalf of MRI on 31st October 2001. MRI 42 went to her first SAR call at Stonehaven on November 18th 2001. Speed MRI 42 can operate to a service speed of 25 knots whilst at normal displacement in Douglas Sea State 3. Endurance Fuel carried is sufficient to give an endurance of approximately 150 nautical miles or 6 hours duration at the service speed of 25 knots. Figures are estimated from engine manufacturer's fuel consumption data allowing a 10% safety margin. Crew For SAR operations, the usual crew compliment will be 4. Survivor accommodation 2 stretcher cases plus 12 other persons. In an emergency, the craft can support 4 crew plus 32 other persons. Navigational aids VHF, VHF DSc, GPS, Interphase Sonar, Radar & integrated chart works by Galileo, Navtex, FM USB SSB communications. Emergency medical aid equipment A full range of emergency medical aid equipment is carried onboard and crewmembers are suitably qualified in the provision of first aid. Other emergency equipment SOLAS packs, lifebuoys, pyrotechnics, liferaft, crane for recovering persons from the water, portable de-watering or fire pump.

Stonehaven Harbour
Stonehaven Harbour: Stonehaven is 15 miles south of Aberdeen. The historical focus of Stonehaven is the harbour, the only safe haven along this entire coast in a north-easterly gale. A breakwater was first built here in the 1500s and the Tolbooth, now a museum, was converted from an earlier grain store in about 1600. Further harbour construction took place over the following centuries. Stonehaven's harbour and the old town lying behind it are full of character and interest. The Ship Inn was built overlooking the harbour in 1771, predating the spiky-towered Town House which was built in 1790. The MRI office is located next to the Tolbooth Museum, on the harbour walkway.
