The British Royal National Lifeboat Institution handed over two
of its high-tech rescue boats to the Shanghai-based salvage bureau
last Friday, as part of a five-year agreement for sea rescue
cooperation between the two parties, Shanghai Daily
reported.
The Ministry of Communication had imported six such high-speed
lifeboats from the British institution since last September.
The boats are now serving in the East China Sea, the South China
Sea as well as in Bohai Sea.
