The National Coastwatch Institution (“NCI”) and Sirius Insight have announced a national strategic partnership.
The agreement between the charity and the leading specialist in maritime situational awareness sees a significant financial contribution, secured for the next 10 years, which will allow the NCI greater confidence in investing in new stations and upgrading existing facilities. Additionally, Sirius will contribute to a rolling programme of sensor upgrades, including camera, radar, and communication across the 60 stations.
Malcolm Glaister, Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Insight, said, “It is an honour to be able to support and partner with the amazing team at the National Coastwatch Institution, whose volunteers work tirelessly and selflessly to keep the coastal waters of England and Wales safe for all who use and pass through them.
“We have been working with NCI and its team for over four years at stations around the coastline. This new collaboration and long-term commitment enables us to bring new sensors and world class technologies that make the NCI’s work even more effective and valuable.”
David Crozier, Chief Executive Officer of NCI, said, “We are delighted to formalise our strategic partnership with Sirius Insight. It’s a natural partnership for us, bringing class-leading technologies to our stations helping us to expand and improve our network and continue to help save lives around the coast.”
The NCI is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
