NSRI ORC Build 2020

In November 2020, Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing de-moulded the hull of the first locally manufactured NSRI Offshore Rescue Craft. The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is making a significant investment in a new generation of world class rescue vessels. The innovative French-designed Offshore Rescue Craft (ORC) will take the NSRI’s crew safety and marine rescue capability to a new level. It is envisaged that over R180m will be spent on 9 ORC’s over a 10-year period. This investment will see the first fully South African-built offshore search and rescue craft being put together by local hands. It is a boost for what was once a thriving South African boat-building industry. Each vessel costs an estimated R20-million and represents a game-changing moment for saving lives, says the NSRI. “To continue to deliver a world class rescue service in South Africa, the NSRI are investing in modern, high-tech rescue craft that will save even more lives on South African waters,” said Dr. Cleeve Robertson, NSRI CEO. The new self-righting and purpose-built rescue vessel is designed for rescue operations in extreme conditions. At 14.8 m long and 4.8 m wide, it can be deployed on rescue missions as far as 50 nautical miles from land. It has an expected lifespan of at least 40 years. We also invite South Africans to follow the fascinating story of our journey as the new vessels come out of the mould and make their appearance at bases along the country’s coastline. #ShareTheJourney
