Search and Rescue vessel 21 M Ver 1

Description

Search and Rescue (SAR) vessels are specifically designed to perform emergency operations at sea and on shore. Due to their special features, these vessels play a vital role in critical situations, such as search and rescue during maritime accidents, accidents, or bad weather conditions. The following are more detailed features and new technologies of this type of vessel:

Search and Rescue Vessel Features:

Hull Construction:
The hull of the vessel is made of three-layer aluminum alloy. This design makes the vessel both light and resistant. Three-layer aluminum is a good choice for building 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 allows it to maneuver better and faster, while providing high resistance to impacts and harsh environmental conditions.
Tanks and Fuel:
The vessel has a fuel tank with a volume of 13.6 cubic meters. This provides sufficient fuel for long-term operations at sea, especially in emergency situations where the vessel may be engaged in search and rescue for a long time.
The vessel has a freshwater tank with a volume of 1.5 cubic meters for the use of the crew and passengers for maritime operations.
speed:
The vessel is capable of reaching a speed of 24.9 knots (about 47 km/h), which allows it to react quickly in emergency situations and when speed is required to rescue people.
High speed is crucial for a search and rescue vessel, as time is of the essence in search and rescue operations.
Engines:
The vessel is equipped with two MTU engines. MTU engines are known for their power, reliability and high efficiency in marine conditions. These engines, with their high propulsion power, allow the vessel to move at high speed at sea and to perform precise maneuvers when needed.
Powerful MTU engines also provide the ability to perform high-pressure and critical operations in harsh conditions.
It uses a SCUBA brand gearbox in power transmission.
Vessel dimensions:
The length of the vessel is 21 meters and its width is 5.7 meters. These dimensions make the vessel suitable for performing search and rescue operations on the coast and in port areas.
The size of this vessel allows it to be most efficient in various rescue operations and
Advanced navigation systems:
The vessel is equipped with the best navigation systems that allow the crew to perform their operations with high accuracy in any weather conditions or when visibility is poor.
These navigation systems usually include advanced GPS, 2 radars, automatic control systems, and other modern tools to accurately identify and track the position of people or objects at sea.
Number of crew and passengers: The number of crew for this vessel is 3 people and the number of seats for passengers is 14 seats.

Modern 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 at any point in the sea.
Advanced safety systems: In order to increase safety in search and rescue operations, vessels are equipped with emergency rescue systems such as small rescue boats, rescue balloons, and diving equipment.
Thermal cameras and sensors: For searches at night or in low light conditions, search and rescue vessels are usually equipped with thermal cameras and infrared sensors to be able to identify missing people or floating objects in the dark or in adverse weather conditions.

These vessels are commonly used in various maritime operations, including:

Rescuing people at sea

Assisting damaged ships or vessels

Supporting rescue operations on beaches and in ports

Searching for missing ships or boats. The ability of these vessels to move quickly, access difficult-to-reach areas, and their advanced equipment have made these vessels key tools in rescue operations.
