Search and Rescue vessel 20 M Ver 1

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 float 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 float 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.

Tanks and fuel:
The vessel has a fuel tank with a volume of 5000 liters. 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.

speed:
The vessel is capable of reaching a speed of 36 knots (about 67 km/h), which allows it to react quickly in emergency situations and when quick rescue is required.
High speed is important 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 with high power (780 kW) 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.
This vessel also uses the Hamilton brand waterjet to increase the propulsion efficiency compared to the raft.

vessel dimensions:
The length of the vessel is 19.6 meters and its width is 4.60 meters. These dimensions make the vessel suitable for search and rescue operations in coastal and port areas.
The size of this vessel allows it to have the best efficiency in various rescue operations

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.

Number of crew and passengers: The number of crew for this vessel is 2 people and the number of seats for passengers is 10 seats.

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.
