marine

Advanced pollution prevention and control ship designed to deal with a wide range of potential maritime incidents. Among her principal roles are, towage and salvage assistance to casualties at sea, deep sea towing, fire fighting and anti-pollution duties. An adapted offshore anchor-handling supply vessel configuration is proving to be the most popular and Rolls Royce Marine has been quick to offer suitable variants of their UT design for the purpose.
