A broad range of emergency service vessel types are once again reviewed this week. Included are patrol boats for law enforcement agencies in the UK and the US, rescue craft for Australia and Ireland, and firefighting vessels for the city of London.
Also featured is a new buoy maintenance vessel for Chinese waters. This vessel boasts icebreaking capability, ensuring that aids to navigation are properly serviced even during days of inclement weather.
The marine emergency services sector continues to evolve and expand with the aid of innovation on the part of designers, builders, and operators, as readers of Baird Maritime will see on a regular basis.
