Transport written question – answered at on 13 January 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many times the Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre, Stornoway was staffed at below risk-assessed levels in December 2013.
During December 2013 Stornoway Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre (MRCC) was staffed below risk-assessed levels on 13 occasions out of 62 shifts.
Where there are specific issues at a MRCC Her Majesty's Coastguard is using the current long-established pairing arrangements between MRCCs. This enables each MRCC to be connected to at least one other MRCC which is available to provide mutual support.
