    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Katy Clark on 2014-06-27.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether MRCC Aberdeen was staffed at below risk assessed levels on any shifts between 20 May and 22 May 2014.

    Stephen Hammond

    Aberdeen Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) was fully staffed with five qualified officers during each of the day watches over the period 20 to 22 May 2014. On the night of 20 May, the watch was reduced to three qualified officers, and on the night of 21 May, four qualified officers. This had no impact on search and rescue operational capability for that period.

    Aberdeen MRCC could also have called on further experienced and capable support from five other MRCCs, should this support have been required.
