Coastguard cuts

摘要

Plans to "modernise the Coastguard" have been confirmed by Shipping Minister Mike Penning. A nationally networked system of Coastguard coordination centres will be created comprising: one Maritime Operations Centre, to be established in Fareham, Hants, with a back-up facility at the existing Dover coordination centre, both operating on a 24 hour basis; and eight Coastguard Centres, all operated on a 24 hour basis.
