Cape-class motor lifeboat

The Canadian Coast Guard maintains a fleet of 14.6 m Cape-class motor lifeboats , based on a motor lifeboat design used by the United States Coast Guard. In September 2009 the CCG announced plans to add five new lifeboats, bringing the total number of Cape-class lifeboats to 36.

The vessels are staffed by a crew of four, two of whom are rescue specialists.

In spite of its name, the CCGS Cape Roger is a larger patrol vessel, not a Cape-class lifeboat.

The CCG also maintains some larger motor lifeboats based on Arun-class lifeboats designed in the United Kingdom.
