An RNLI crew from the UK has been brought over to cover the St Helier Lifeboat Station, the charity has said.
Six people who work at various lifeboat stations around the UK will man the station, until the dispute between the local crew members and RNLI has been resolved.
All 25 members of the St Helier lifeboat crew stood down on Thursday, in protest after their Coxswain Andy Hibbs was dismissed .
The RNLI said it was after a "serious breakdown in communication" and "breaches of the RNLI's Volunteer Code of Conduct". Mr Hibbs denies he broke the code.
The St Helier Lifeboat Station is now back in service.
