Lifeboat crew members are dismissed

Two volunteer crew members at Arbroath Lifeboat Station have been dismissed and another has resigned following an RNLI investigation.

The town’s all-weather lifeboat was taken out of service earlier this month when the investigation was launched. The inshore lifeboat remains in service and all-weather cover is being provided by Montrose and Broughty Ferry.

It is understood the investigation relates to an alleged incident outwith the station. The RNLI said the two crew members had the right to appeal their dismissals.
