The semi-rigid FRB-700 Jet boat is designed for offshore rescue operations and is SOLAS certified. The deck layout is designed for 3 crew members, who have two jockey seats, a fanny pack for the pilot, and a stretcher.
The steering console is wide and protects the pilot from wind and spray, with enough space for the installation of state-of-the-art electronic equipment and engine room. It has a quick release firing hook installed. The console is embraced by a Henriksen single point lift and release system, which allows the boat to be lowered and hoisted quickly and stably. The arc of lights located aft, has installed an inflatable self-righting system, the radar antenna, reflector, lifebuoys and navigation lights.
The “V” shape of the hull allows a good wave pass and easy maneuvering in turns, with a reinforced frame and floor system, which provide more resistance and durability.
NARWHAL rescue boats comply with SOLAS regulations and with this certification they can be installed as rescue boats on all EU flag vessels and in any country that accepts SOLAS regulations.
Its main mission is the recovery of crew members who fall into the sea based on its ease of maneuvering and its rapid set-up. It is also used to group and organize life rafts and also to carry out any necessary supervision and maintenance tasks.
Fully adapted to the most recent S.O.L.A.S. requirements, it allows the arrangement of the homologated stretcher on deck, mandatory installation, for the transport of an injured person.
