I understand these guys are the English-speaking co-ordinators of Overseas marine matters/emergencies...

Do they have a contact number for me to keep in my phone just incase i need them? I've had a look around but cant seem to find one...

More to the point, have you ever needed to call them for an overseas problem, especially in the med?

Cheers

Chris

I think they work like thunderbirds, shout and they answer. The other week they were doing a medivac around Hong Kong way, seem to operate almost on a global scale.

Cheers for that, much appreciated!

Just out of interest, where did you find that number? I've looked all over /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

999 and ask for coastguard!

They are the nice people that phone you in the middle of the night, when some muppet accidently activates the EPIRB. Very nice people but wouldn't phone them if you had a problem while in the Med.
Though the number for medical advice is always handy.
