Polygon opens in George & helps NSRI Mossel Bay

30 November 2010 | People and Companies | News | Polygon Underwriting

The National Sea Rescue Institute’s Station 15 at Mossel Bay has received a R20 000 donation from specialist specie insurance underwriter Polygon Underwriting which recently opened a branch office in George.

Cornel Schoeman, commercial director of Polygon Underwriting, which is headquartered in Centurion, Gauteng, presented the Mossel Bay NSRI Station 15 commander Dawie Zwiegelaar with the cheque at the NSRI berth.

“Our new branch in George will extend our business reach into the Southern and Western Cape, and we felt a good way of getting the company involved in the local community would be to support the NSRI, which does such great work in saving lives and vessels,” said Schoeman.

Zwiegelaar said annual operational expenses of the NSRI nationally amount to more than R22-million, all of which is raised through donations, sponsorships and legacies. He added that the donation from Polygon “will help to ensure that our rescue and life-saving activities will continue.”

Specie insurance is highly specialised and focuses cover for the transit and storage of cash or valuables for security companies, mines, major retailers, petrol stations, casinos and fuel retailers, among others.

The NSRI station at Mossel Bay came into being in 1971 and since then has chalked up more than 530 rescue operations, saved 66 lives, assisted 715 people, towed 212 boats and assisted 44 other craft with its two specially equipped rescue vessels.

A voluntary non-profit organisation, the NSR is tasked with saving lives at sea. It consists of 30 rescue stations on the coast and 3 inland dam stations manned by 920 volunteers equipped with 72 rescue craft and 21 vehicles. The lifeboat stations are staffed by well trained & highly motivated volunteer crews using rescue craft equipped to the highest technological standards, backed by an efficient management team.
