pelastuslaivat
Pelastuslaivat, often translated as rescue boats or lifeboats, are vessels specifically designed for maritime search and rescue operations. Their primary function is to save lives at sea, whether from sinking ships, distressed vessels, or individuals who have fallen overboard. These boats vary significantly in size, design, and capability, depending on the environment they operate in and the nature of the rescue missions they undertake.
Coastal rescue boats are typically smaller and faster, allowing them to quickly reach incidents close to shore.
The operation of pelastuslaivat is often managed by dedicated maritime rescue organizations, such as coast guards
