HM Coastguard does not possess any of its own lifeboats but does have several workboats (i.e. MCA Falcon) which are sometimes used to patrol an area, or to transfer agency ship surveyors to a vessel; the workboats are not lifeboats, instead they are provided by the volunteer Royal National Lifeboat Institution or other Independent Units. HMCG through its parent agency (the MCA) wet leases commercial helicopters—mainly Sikorsky S-92s and AgustaWestland AW189s—and tugs to provide search and rescue cover in certain areas. It does, however, maintain a number of search, cliff and mud rescue teams as well as some inshore rescue boats and is a coordinating body and public face for the maritime search and rescue services. It is part of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, which in itself is an executive agency of the Department for Transport. Cooperation is made with the Royal Navy and the all volunteer National Coastwatch Institution, which mans many of the vacated former Coastguard Watch-houses along the coast.
