Plans to refurbish Douglas station
The RNLI says improved lifeboats will soon be used across the Isle of Man - not just in Douglas.
It comes after the organisation submitted plans to demolish and rebuild the lifeboat station in the capital, and put a floating pontoon in Douglas harbour instead of the current slipway.
The current lifeboat will be replaced with a new Shannon-class vessel.
The new boat will be quicker, safer and easier to control, according to the RNLI.
Divisional Operations Manager Darren Byers says the Douglas station is just the start:
Boutique hotel planned for Peel
Former TT rider's family at risk of losing house after rejected insurance pay out
Dog wash machine planned for promenade
Businesses can bloom if people support local
