For the sake of a fast rescue

Last monday we had the Swedish and the German Transport agency onboard, doing their annual inspection of the ship. Among other things, they wanted to see how the FRB (Fast Rescue Boat) was working and how the launching procedure was carried out. Therefore, the chief officer and two ABs suited up in survival suits and boarded the boat.

Well, steady as she goes

Launching in progress. As you can see, every person is equipped with a safety harness with lines fixed to the mother ship. It requires good simultaneous capacity to both lower the boat and yourself at the same time and in the same speed
