Palfinger equipment for Sentinel

Palfinger Ned-Deck and its subsidiary, FAST RSQ, are to supply UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) compliant rescue equipment for Scotland’s Sentinel Marine Ltd.

Palfinger Ned-Deck and FAST RSQ secured the order from Sentinel Marine

The equipment will be delivered for four emergency response and rescue vessels (EERVs).

These will include one 7m aluminium fast rescue craft, type FRSQ 700 A, one 10m aluminium daughter craft, type FRSQ 1000 A, one PRH 35H FRC davit and one PRH 75AP daughter craft davit.

Alexander Schouten, commercial director, Palfinger Ned-Deck, said: “This order allows Palfinger Ned-Deck to maintain its hold on the davit sector for ERRVs and the company has also announced the arrival of its subsidiary FAST RSQ which is incorporating all the latest designs and regulations in the daughter craft market with a focus on custom-made cabin designs for the aluminium FRSQ 1000 A daughter craft.”

“This order not only displays the strength of the Palfinger Marine branding, it also shows the intent of Sentinel Marine to provide its fleet with these cutting-edge rescue craft and its focus on operating expenses,” he added.

Sentinel currently has four vessels under construction, which will enter the UK emergency response and rescue vessel market in the course of 2014.
