From October 25 to 31, 2021, Loire-class offshore support vessel Garonne embarked the NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) to train and certify all ships of the class in the highly technical field of assistance and response to a submarine in distress.
The subsea rescue system developed by Saipem in collaboration with Drass, a leading company in submarine and hyperbaric crewed technology, was selected by Marina Militare Italiana (the Italian Navy) for the equipment of the SDO-SuRS (Special & Diving Operations - Submarine Rescue Ship) ship, the new vessel for the rescue of submarines.
Work has begun on a new purpose built facility at Henderson in Western Australia which will house the Royal Australian Navy’s Submarine Rescue System.
