ELA Container Offshore and DGzRS
German offshore storage and accommodation specialist ELA Container Offshore GmbH has recently donated over a million euros to the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS).
The last year’s 150th anniversary of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service was the reason for ELA Container Offshore GmbH to donate the amount of 1,084.90 Euro to the sea life guards and rescuers. The donated amount was handed over by the ELA management to volunteer service Captain Rudolf Koormann.
“It is an honour, to support the hard and dangerous work of the sea life guards and rescuers“, expressed Managing Director Hans Gatzemeier. “The crew sails out at any time of day and in any type of weather, to rescue people in danger at sea. To do this they also need help from the people on shore. This means us“, says Gatzemeier who is convinced of the rescue crews’ work.
“On a daily basis we are involved with the mobilisation of temporary Offshore Containers. These are used primarily on all kinds of ships, platforms or pontoons and therefore it is self-evident for the employees of ELA Containers, to support the rescue crews as a major maritime organisation“, continued Gatzemeier in response to the many people from the company who have donated to the campaign.
Kapitän Koormann, on behalf of all lifeguards of the rescue crew thanked the company for the support of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service. “Especially now in our fast paced world, it is not self-evident, that rescue crews are thought of in such an exceptional way. A donation to the rescue crews is an excellent model of commitment and demonstrates social responsibility“.
ELA Container has already gained diverse experience in the Offshore-Wind and Offshore Oil & Gas Industry, offering tailor-made concepts for all requirements in the form of Living Quarters, Offices, Dining Rooms, Galleys, Laundries, Recreation or Locker Rooms and all types of Carrying Units. ELA Offshore containers are equipped with all the necessary utilities.
