Capabilities

From rescue craft to hyperbaric treatment chamber and a helicopter deck, MV Swift Rescue provides end-to-end emergency care and evacuation options. It is also equipped with a submersible rescue vessel Deep Search and Rescue Six (DSAR 6). Launched from the mother vessel, DSAR 6 slips underwater and connects with the injured submarine, ferrying the submarine crew to safety.
