Search and Rescue vessel 16 M

Description

Search and rescue vessels (SAR: Search and Rescue) are specifically designed to perform emergency operations at sea and beaches. Due to their special characteristics, these vessels play a vital role in critical situations, such as search and rescue during maritime accidents, accidents, or bad weather conditions. Below are the more detailed features and new technologies of these types of vessels:

Features of the search and rescue vessel:

• Body construction: The vessel body is made of three-layer aluminum alloy. This design makes the vessel both light and durable. Three-layer aluminum is a suitable choice for the construction of search and rescue vessels due to its anti-corrosion properties and high strength against harsh marine environmental conditions.
  This type of alloy reduces the weight of the vessel and gives it the possibility of better maneuverability and higher speed, at the same time, it provides high resistance to impacts and harsh environmental conditions.
• Fuel & fresh water tanks: The vessel has a fuel tank with a volume of 3.85 cubic meters. This provides sufficient fuel volume to carry out long-term operations at sea, especially in emergency situations where the vessel may be involved in search and rescue for long periods of time.Also, a fresh water tank with a volume of 0.25 cubic meters is installed in the vessel, which is necessary to supply drinking water, especially in critical times or during long-term operations.
• speed: The vessel is capable of reaching a speed of 25 knots (about 46 km/h), which allows it to react quickly in emergency situations and when quick rescue is required.High speed is critical for a search and rescue vessel because time is a critical factor in search and rescue operations.
• Engines: The vessel has two MAN brand engines. MAN engines are known for their power, reliability and high performance in marine conditions. These engines allow the vessel to move at high speed in the sea and perform precise maneuvers when needed. Powerful MAN engines also provide the ability to perform high-pressure and critical operations in difficult conditions.
• vessel dimensions: The length of the vessel is 16.24 meters and its width is 4.70 meters. These dimensions make the vessel suitable for search and rescue operations in coastal and port areas. The medium size of the vessel allows it to easily enter tight and inaccessible areas and conduct search and rescue operations in shallow waters and beaches.
• Advanced navigation systems: The vessel is equipped with the best navigation systems that allow the crew to carry out their operations with high precision in any weather conditions or when visibility is low.These navigation systems usually include advanced GPS, radar, automatic control systems, and other modern tools to accurately identify and track the position of people or objects at sea.

New technologies in search and rescue vessels:

• Advanced communication systems: Search and rescue vessels are usually equipped with advanced satellite and radio communication systems that allow them to be in contact with the command center or other vessels anywhere at sea.
• Advanced safety systems: In order to increase safety in search and rescue operations, vessels are equipped with emergency rescue systems such as lifeboats, rescue balloons and diving equipment.
• Thermal cameras and sensors: For searching at night or in low light conditions, search and rescue vessels are usually equipped with thermal cameras and infrared sensors to detect missing people or floating objects in the dark or in adverse weather conditions.

Application of search and rescue vessels:

These vessels are usually used in various marine operations, including:

• Rescue people at sea
• Aid to damaged ships or vessels
• Support in relief operations on beaches and ports
• Used to search for missing ships or boats. The ability of these vessels to move quickly, access to hard-to-reach areas and their advanced equipment have made these vessels key tools in relief operations.
