About SAR Composites Ltd

SAR Composites Ltd is an RNLI subsidiary company, which acquired the lifeboat hull construction capability of Green Marine Ltd, thereby securing the long-term future of lifeboat hull construction in the United Kingdom.

SAR Composites Ltd has relocated all RNLI all weather lifeboat hull manufacturing to the Green Marine site at Waterloo Road, Lymington.

Green Marine was the only manufacturer in the United Kingdom able to produce, to the RNLI's exacting standards, the technologically advanced composite hulls required for our lifeboats. Loss of this capability would have had catastrophic consequences for our Tamar Class and other future lifeboat construction and it therefore became imperative to acquire the lifeboat hull construction capability from Green Marine in order to safeguard the supply of high quality hulls for the future development of the Institution's lifeboat fleet.
