Davit supply deal for North Sea ERRVs
Palfinger Ned-Deck and its subsidiary FAST RSQ have won an order from Sentinel Marine Ltd to supply UKOOA compliant rescue equipment for four emergency response and rescue vessels (ERRVs).
The vessels to be equipped include a 7m fast rescue craft of type FRSQ 700 A, a 10m aluminium daughter craft of type FRSQ 1000 A, a PRH 35H FRC davit, and a PRH 75AP daughter craft davit.
“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,” says Alexander Schouten, commercial director at Palfinger Ned-Deck.
Aberdeen based Sentinel Marine Ltd currently has four vessels under construction, which will enter the UK emergency response and rescue vessel market in the course of 2014. Built according to the latest industry standards, each vessel will have a desirable edge in terms of environmental friendliness due to the fuel efficient design and will also offer the crews a higher level of on-board comfort. Once launched, the Sentinel Marine fleet will be the youngest and most technologically advanced fleet serving in the North Sea.
Palfinger Ned-Deck is part of Austria based Palfinger Marine and manufactures Launch and Recovery Systems (LARS) such as davits and cranes for life saving purposes, daughter craft, work boats, fast interceptors and fenders. FAST RSQ is an internationally operating designer and manufacturer of fast rescue craft located in the Netherlands.
