“VOS Famous” With ‘Sealift’ Rescue System Successfully Completes Sea Trails
On Tuesday, 16 January, VOS Famous successfully completed sea trials, crew training and familiarisation, following installation of a Sealift Rescue System. The Sealift Rescue System has been specifically designed to contend with the challenges of safely recovering casualties from the water in upper sea states, when waves can be higher than 3.5m. It consists of a basket attached to a hydraulic arm on deck which pivots out over the water. The System can be operated by one crew member, from a secure location on either deck or bridge, using a portable, remote control. It has an operating lift capacity of two metric tonnes, has been load-tested to four metric tonnes and can cover a catchment area of 40m2. The System guarantees a controlled extraction of casualties, aiming to maintain them in a stable, horizontal position.
