Focus on Emergency Service Vessels

Focus on Emergency Service Vessels
Published on

This month's focus on the emergency services sector includes reviews of vessels already in service in Europe and the United States. One is an ambulance boat for a Norwegian coastal community and another is a fire and rescue boat for operation in Washington State.

Firefighting • Search and Rescue • Police • Coast Guard

Also featured are two repurposed vessels that were originally designed to support the activities of clients in the offshore industry. These vessels have been extensively rebuilt and are now fulfilling an even broader array of functions, from salvage and towing to firefighting and pollution control on behalf of the French Navy.

The emergency services sector is continually evolving to address an expanding range of requirements. Fortunately, readers of Baird Maritime have access to the latest news and related feature stories on this highly important sector.
