Fast Rescue Craft (FRC)

The Fast Rescue Craft (FRC) is used for:
- Rescuing the victims when an emergency occurs at sea
- Helping someone to get on another Ship
- Helping the victims who are in trouble

All equipment carried by the FRC must be properly stored on the boat so as not to interfere with the safety procedures. Some of the equipment to bring are:
- Paddle
- Rope
- Spotlight & flashlight
- Compass
- Anchor
- A tool to give a signal
- Signal whistle
- First Aid Kit in a waterproof case
- Required PPE
- Portable fire-fighting equipment that can extinguish fires, especially in Oil & Gas Installations
- Knife & ax

Apart from bringing the required equipment, the FRC must be driven by a proper Coxswain. The Coxswains must do the following:
- Maintain operational readiness
- Prepare & launch FRC
- Communicate using radio
- Use Compass
- Look for victims
- Rescue victims who drowned at sea (Man Overboard)
- Restore the condition of the victims by doing First Aid
