Remember to log on and log off with Marine Rescue NSW

DECKEE encourages all boaters in New South Wales to log on and log off with Marine Rescue NSW before and after every trip. Logging on ensures Marine Rescue NSW has your trip details and can respond more quickly if you don’t return as planned or need assistance on the water.

At this time, it is not yet possible to log on or log off with Marine Rescue NSW directly through the DECKEE app in New South Wales. Boaters should continue to log on and log off using Marine Rescue NSW’s existing channels, including radio, phone, or the Marine Rescue NSW app, before heading out and once safely back.
