RTK Marine Supplies

Fast Rescue Craft To

Oceaneering International

RTK Marine, Hamworthy,

Dorset, U.K., supplied one of their new line of Fast Rescue Craft (FRC) to Oceaneering International Ser- vices, Ltd., Aberdeen, Scotland, for use on the Diving Support Vessel

Ocean Constructor, which is cur- rently on a long term contract with

Shell Nigeria, operating in West

Africa.

RTK Marine's Fast Rescue Craft 606.

Though RTK manufactures both gasoline outboard and diesel inboard versions of its' FRC, the diesel pow- ered waterjet version was selected to cover man-overboard incidents on the Ocean Constructor. The major consideration for using waterjets was to protect a victim in the water from being struck by the

FRC's outboard propellers.

Power is provided by a Ford die- sel engine, turbo charged and rated at 180 hp, coupled to a waterjet from

New Zealand. The waterjet has hydraulic controls allowing the FRC 606 to carry out close maneuvering work in heavy seas while using maximum thrust.
