The Maritime Rescue Institute was a Scottish charity based in Stonehaven.[2] It provided Kincardineshire's local lifeboat service and provided specialist training programmes and advisory services on all forms of waterborne emergency response. It was established as a charity in 2003 using the proceeds of the sale from its predecessor commercial training organisation.[3] The BBC announced its closure in February 2013 following damage sustained during the December 2012 storms.[4] Following the demise of MRI, Royal National Lifeboat Institution started providing lifeboat services in Stonehaven and established a new premises in 2014.[5][6]
