The Maritime and Coastguard Agency has responsibility for safety matters as well as coordinating search and rescue. This is the Coastguard launch MCA “Harrier” in the lock at Portna, on the River Bann, bound for Lough Neagh. This is thought to have been the first visit of a Coastguard boat to the Bann.
