The Ocean Rescue Centre is where the sea based emergencies in Pontypandy are carried out from.
As of Series 9, the old boathouse for Neptune is now replaced by a full-fledged Ocean Rescue Centre for new coastguard Ben to work from. It has a helipad for Tom to land his helicopter on, as well as a room for taking breaks in and a pole to slide down and access the lower floor, where Titan and Juno are kept.
As of Series 10, it is now part of the Pontypandy Fire Service.
