Palfinger Marine FRB 15 Rescue Boat

The Palfinger Marine FRB 15 is a 15‑foot fast rescue boat equipped with a jet drive, intended for rapid deployment from larger vessels to conduct man‑overboard and other emergency operations. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Rescue Boat (Fast), and it is normally installed at an assigned embarkation and launching station with its approved davit, release gear or free-fall arrangement. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to provide evacuation or rescue capability during abandonment and emergency response. Totally enclosed, free-fall and rescue-boat designs differ in launching arrangement and operating role, while exact capacity, speed and release details remain those in the approved documentation. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. The source metadata also states capacity: 15 persons, 20+ kn. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
