New Vessel. New Capabilities
The new ORC is a high-tech search and rescue craft that is self-righting and purpose-built for rescue operations in extreme conditions. At 14.8m long and 4.8m wide, it can be deployed on rescue missions as far as 50 nautical miles from land and has an expected lifespan of at least 40 years. By manufacturing these vessels in South Africa, the NSRI invests in the country’s boat-building industry, boosting local employment.
