(With extra pictures) Last week, a number of trials have been conducted with the new Search and Rescue vessel for the KNRM (Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution).
Damen has built the NH 1816 for the KNRM. Both the capsizing test and the comparison with the current Arie Visser Class (another all-weather SAR from the KNRM) showed great results. The official delivery ceremony will take place in April.
Below a photo album with a few photos of the new NH 1816 in action. Please click the pop out link (the little squares at the bottom right) to view the pictures in their proper dimensions. The NH 1816 has been photographed in action with a SAR helicopter and a vessel from the Arie Visser Class.
