The MRB 20 "Emile Robin" was delivered from the North Sea shipyard in Ringkøbing, Denmark, in 1989. This lifeboat was named in honor of French Paris merchant Emile Robin, philanthropist, cognac manufacturer and vice-president of the "Société Centrale de Sauvetage des Naufragés" (France). Emile Robin is one of the most important benefactors of the Danish Lifeboat Service's 150-year history. The MRB 20 "Emile Robin" is permanently stationed at the Hvide Sande lifeboat station on Denmark's west coast.
