Jersey Coastguard

Jersey Coastguard is charged with the provision of 24/7 responsibility for safer seas, along with the security and protection of our maritime environment.

Our knowledge, training and commitment ensures safer, more secure and cleaner seas.​

We have published our 2023 Jersey Coastguard and VTS Annual Report. 2023 was another busy year for our Watch Officers. The report gives high level details of what we did throughout the year.
