VESSEL REVIEW | CP 335 – Italian Coast Guard places new fast rescue boat into service

Two lateral rescue platforms are also fitted. There is even a foldable platform (with a ladder and a safety parapet) that will permit the operator to get closer to the water and an MOB cradle with a remotely controlled winch.

“The innovative self-adaptive stretcher was created after twenty years of experience in the design, manufacture and use of damped seats for high speed vessels,” said FB Design. “Distinguished by a small size (no bigger than a standard medical stretcher) and reduced weight (around 100 kg), it automatically adjusts the dampening according to the weight of the patient on two different points (head and legs), for optimal customisation.”

It also allows the stretcher to be raised, lowered and tilted depending on prevailing conditions and the patient's own condition, thus ensuring optimal and safe transport at all times.
