244 Lina Buurstra, SAR Mission Coordinator, Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, Swedish Maritime Authority

Mayday! Who is answering your emergency call? In episode 244, we meet Lina Buurstra, a SAR Mission Coordinator at the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre. She answers your call when you are in distress, and she knows how to make things right again.  Lina has a background as a Master Mariner before becoming a rescue leader.  We hear about what incidents stuck with Lina, and she also tells the behind-the-scenes story of what happened when the MARCO POLO went aground in Swedish waters last year.  Lina and her colleagues are more than a voice in your worst moment. They are truly professional and have earned our respect and friendship.  Thank you for listening. Any feedback you might have, please send it to [email protected] #everyconversationmatters
