In the event of a major incident, the Self-Propelled Hyperbaric Lifeboat (SPHL) is to excavate and rescue the divers from the dive support vessel while they are under a hyperbaric condition.
Vanguarde’s Self-Propelled Hyperbaric Lifeboat (SPHL) is designed and built to SOLAS 86 regulations and CLASS approved by ABS and DNV. The boat has integrated a hyperbaric chamber with a fully equipped saturation diving system.
The lifeboat is designed to be launched by a gravity davit system, equipped with the lifeboat release and release system – ‘Csafe’ Hook. The system supports all launching and recovery functions as required by IMO/SOLAS/ABS.
The SPHL is available in different sizes, up to 24 divers per SPHL.
