Translated description:

Saturday, 29/07/2023 - Last Saturday, VBZR lifeguards trained together with the Blankenberge Beach and Rescue Service.

The beach rescuers witnessed a head-on collision between a jet scooter and a motorboat with all its consequences. The drowning persons were carried off to the beach by the beach rescuers who were the first on the scene. The seriously injured skipper also had to be evacuated via the Sterken Dries. The incident vessel and scooter were towed to the port of Blankenberge.

A short search was then held with the 5 sar units during which the operation of the VBZR drifter was explained.

A wonderful collaboration with smooth communication. Thanks to the participating services. Beach and Rescue Service Blankenberge IKWV - Intercommunale Kustreddingsdienst West-Vlaanderen O'neill Beachclub Blankenberge Maritime Rescue and Coordination Center Ostend
