Upper Thames: Charity launches new volunteer patrol boat at busy periods

A new volunteer patrol boat has been launched to provide safety along the Upper Thames during busy periods.

Maritime Volunteer Service (MVS) formally launched its 13ft (4m-long) boat at Shepperton, Surrey, on Wednesday.

It will patrol at weekends when the river is at its busiest with leisure boaters, paddle boarders and open water swimmers.

The boat, Surrey Volunteer, will cover a stretch from Molesey to Shepperton.

It will be manned by volunteers from the Kingston MVS, and its launch was marked in the traditional manner of bubbly poured over its bow.
