Frequently asked questions
Useful answers.
Clear next steps.
Practical information to help define your requirement and understand the next stage.
Can the requirement include a dedicated ICU space?
Yes, it can be included in the brief. The layout, equipment inventory and clinical requirements must be defined and reviewed with the appointed medical and technical specialists.
Can you explore existing marine ambulances?
Existing-vessel and newbuild options can both be explored. Patient capacity, treatment capability, condition and delivery need to be confirmed for each option.
Which medical equipment can be specified?
The brief can identify monitoring, ventilation, oxygen, emergency treatment and power requirements. The actual equipment package is established and verified for the project.
Does a fast vessel automatically qualify for offshore medical evacuation?
No. The operational and clinical brief, vessel suitability, equipment integration and applicable approvals need a specific assessment.
Can you source specialist workboats and response vessels?
Our sourcing scope includes crew transfer, fast supply, tugs and workboats, survey and inspection, search and rescue, and firefighting. Availability and specifications are confirmed for each inquiry.
