FRC Launch and Recovery System

German survival and deck equipment manufacturer Global Davit is collaborating with the Dutch company TBV Marine Systems on a new stern mounted Launch and Recovery System (L.A.R.S.) which can launch and recover the bigger Fast Response Crafts (FRCs). This system can be used in higher sea states with significant wave heights up to 2.25 metres claims Global Davit.

Taking a closer look at the global trend in FRC launch and recovery, with a focus on coast guards using these types of systems, Global Davit has seen that the FRCs are getting bigger, that the demand for quick launch and recovery procedures increases and that coast guards strive to be more operational in heavier weather conditions. The innovative and patented L.A.R.S. system has been developed to cover all of these demands.

The production, installation and implementation processes for this system are already in progress for China Customs and the Kuwait Coastguard.

With this collaboration with TBV Marine Systems, Global Davit claims that it has found a way to adopt this new system into their portfolio, and with this, open the doors of a new market segment.
