The dramatic Coastguard rescue of a father and his children in the Firth of Thames has resulted in a significant technology upgrade for the unit that attended.
Coastguard Maraetai responded to the call for help in July 2020 after the family’s kayak capsized in rough conditions, a kilometre from shore near Kaiaua.
“It was a real challenge to locate the family,” says President and Skipper of Coastguard Maraetai Trent Dixon.
“We had to work closely with Coastguard Thames, and our air patrol and communications teams, and that really drove home the importance of having good comms gear onboard.
“After the Kaiaua operation we realised we had to do something urgently about the old headsets - find a way to upgrade them.”
As a charity which relies on donations and volunteers, Coastguard Maraetai applied for and received a grant of $25,000 from the ANZ New Zealand Staff Foundation.
This paid for a new state-of-the-art digital radio system, giving the crew greater control and clarity over their communications with each other and with other emergency services.
