About the Project

SSRF lost all assets (building, boats etc.) during hurricane Irma and the two replacement vessels are currently not operational. This project will complete the rehabilitation works on both sea rescue vessels to make them safe and reliable to operate in emergency situations. Most of the work will be carried out by specialized third party suppliers under the supervision of SSRF’s project coordinator.
