The vessel is designed with a full-width, fully enclosed pilothouse that offers an impressive interior clearance of 76 inches (1.93 meters). This design feature not only enhances comfort but also provides ample space for crew mobility and operational efficiency. A rooftop air conditioning and heating system ensures climate control, making it suitable for various weather conditions and prolonged use.
Seating is designed for functionality and comfort, featuring bench seating along the aft wall with built-in storage underneath. This arrangement maximizes space utilization while providing convenience for storing necessary equipment or personal items during operations.
The dashboard console is notably well-equipped, allowing for effective management of the vessel’s systems. It accommodates essential fire pump controls and monitoring systems. A significant highlight is the inclusion of two Garmin touchscreens, which are invaluable for navigation and operational safety. These screens facilitate GPS navigation, structure scanning sonar for detecting underwater obstacles, chart plotting for precise navigation, and forward-looking infrared (FLIR) technology to enhance visibility during water rescues, especially in low-light conditions.
Powering the electronics and onboard systems is a robust 5kW generator, ensuring consistent operation and reliability. The combination of these features makes the vessel particularly suited for rescue operations, showcasing its capability in emergency situations. Overall, the design prioritizes functionality, comfort, and advanced technology, making it an effective tool for maritime rescue and operations.
