The Dutch shipping company Fairmount will use two of its largest vessels to aid the search for the flight recorder of Air France flight 447 that crashed on June 1.

The Fairmount Expedition and Fairmount Glacier are currently in Brazil. Search equipment and personnel will be put on board for the search action for the so called black box.
The Fairmount sister vessels have a large aft deck suitable for all search equipment, supplied by Phoenix International, and ample accommodation facilities, necessary to house the search specialists of Phoenix as well as the French and US Navies.
