Technologically advanced navies that operate submarinesrecognise the importance of having a credible and capable Submarine Rescue System. The system must be rapidly deployable to the scene of a submarine incident. BMT offerscapable and flexible submarine rescue ship designs thatunderwrite your commitment to submarine rescue, with options to host built-in or portable Submarine Rescue Systems (SRS) from any supplier. The layout has been conceived to optimisethe flow of rescuees from the rescue vehicle or water into decompression and to the built-in medical complex.The addition of a helicopter deck extends the capability of the platform.
