A "made-to-measure" rescue fleet
The DGzRS rescue units are considered to be highly weather resilient. Even in
international comparison, they are among the most modern and efficient SAR
units currently in existence.
Both the rescue cruisers and the smaller rescue boats are welded constructions
of saltwater proof light alloys, built in the tried and tested grid frame system and
are characterised by their excellent seaworthiness and self-righting capabilities.

The patron of the DGzRS is the German Federal President
"The DGzRS is independently and single-handedly rendering an invaluable service to this country and to all those at sea. Probably, it is only the tens of thousands
of individuals who over decades have been rescued from a seemingly hopeless situation, who can truly judge the courage and bravery of the rescue crews.
However, the great number of friends and sponsors of the organisation proves the immeasurable esteem in which the maritime rescue service is held by the people of Germany. I wish the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service the best of luck for the future and God’s blessing."
Those were the words of the patron of the DGzRS, German Federal President Horst Köhler, as he paid tribute to the work of the rescue service.
