VOS Famous Achieves Milestone with Successful Sea Trials of Innovative Sealift Rescue System

Jan 30, 2018 11:02

On January 16, 2023, the VOS Famous achieved a significant milestone by concluding successful sea trials, along with crew training and familiarization, after the implementation of an advanced Sealift Rescue System. This state-of-the-art system has been engineered to tackle the complexities involved in rescuing individuals from the water, particularly in challenging upper sea states where wave heights can exceed 3.5 meters. The Sealift Rescue System features a specialized basket that is mounted on a hydraulic arm, capable of pivoting over the water's surface. Remarkably, it can be operated by a single crew member from secure locations either on the deck or from the bridge, utilizing an easy-to-use portable remote control. With an impressive lift capacity of two metric tonnes and load-tested to support up to four metric tonnes, the system boasts a catchment area of 40 square meters, ensuring a safe and controlled extraction of casualties, while keeping them in a stable, horizontal position during rescue operations.
