context_page_description: The Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue is the only organization wholly dedicated to assisting people and vessels at sea along the extensive Norwegian coastline.
context_section_description: The organization operates 51 vessels stationed along the Norwegian coastline, as well as one each stationed on the lakes of Femunden and Mjøsa. 26 of the rescue craft along the coast are larger, permanently manned, sea-going, aluminium-hulled craft called redningsskøyte (Rescue Cruisers). The other are smaller craft manned by voluntary sjøredningskorps (Rescue Corps).
  There were 7,869 launches in 2017, assisting 21,190 persons, including saving 35 lives and 111 vessels.
  
  The organization also operates four ambulance vessels on the coast of Helgeland and Nordland.
