Rescue

Rescue services around the world recognise our hovercraft as a key tool to any search and rescue operation in areas where conventional rescue boats and vehicles cannot reach.

RESCUE SERVICES

There are many tidal areas where boats go around or areas where people become marooned by floods or where people fall through ice.  With a Griffon hovercraft these areas are now safely and easily accessible – saving lives.  The British Rescue service (RNLI) are currently using seven Griffon rescue hovercraft throughout the UK.

AIRPORT CRASH RESCUE

When airports are surrounded by difficult terrain, Griffon hovercraft are often the only craft capable of providing rescue services in these areas. Equipped with full fire fighting and life saving equipment, these unique amphibious high speed craft will deal with almost any emergency scenario.
Airports currently operating Griffon rescue hovercraft including Singapore Changi airport, Rio de Janero International Airport, Auckland International airport, Dundee Airport (UK), Shannon Airport (Eire)

MOBILE MEDICAL CLINICS

In order to get medical clinic and supplies to some of the remotest and inaccessible corners of the globe, the hovercraft can be the only solution. Our hovercraft offer clean, secure and spacious cabins which can be kitted out with the latest medical equipment to suit your requirements to form ideal mobile medical clinics.
