Disaster relief ships and emergency response vessels can be rapidly deployed to deliver critical supplies and provide temporary housing.
In the event of a hurricane, flood, or other natural or man-made catastrophe, ships provide life-saving relief. We have the contacts, experience, and expertise to rapidly mobilize emergency response vessels anywhere in the world for both civilian and government operations.
In addition to meals, housekeeping services, and medical facilities, passenger ships offer comfortable lounges, meeting spaces, storage capacity, and fitness facilities onsite.
Passenger ships, ferries, barges, and floatels can be utilized to transport life-saving supplies, humanitarian aid, and equipment to affected areas. These vessels also offer safe, secure accommodations for citizen evacuation and emergency housing, medical personnel, disaster response teams, workforce crews, rebuilding and restorations teams, and floating medical centers.
Sleeping accommodations and other ship venues can be used by insurance adjusters, clean-up crews, construction teams, and medical/health care professionals.
In addition to included meals, housekeeping services, and medical facilities, passenger ships offer comfortable bars and lounges, meeting spaces, storage capacity, and fitness facilities onsite.
