The Dacon Rescue Scoop will successfully recover a person from the water, without putting other crew members at risk. Further on, the power- assisted method of recovery will retrieve a person in a horizontal position with full body support to avoid further injury or shock, which is a very important factor that needs to be emphasized.
The crane operated system requires no interaction from the person involved in the rescue operation. Hence, the system is fully capable of rescuing a severely injured or even unconscious person. The rescue net is easy to manoeuvre and is operated by a standard deck crane.
Dacon Rescue Scoop has been used on vessels in the offshore industry for almost 40 years and is available in a wide range of models. The rescue net has a lifelong expectancy and a five-year guarantee.
If you want to know more or need advice on which model is suitable for your vessel, please contact us.
Dacon Rescue Frame
Pulling a person out of the water is such a difficult task, if not seemingly impossible. Rough weather conditions and possible bodily injuries might make it extremely hard to succeed. Using a rescue frame to do the recovery enables the crew to manually bring the person into the rescue craft safely for both crew and the MOB.
With a Dacon Rescue Frame, the crew can easily unfold the rescue net and shape it into a cradle. This way, the person in distress lies in a horizontal position, which provides full support of the body and prevents further injuries.
The rescue frame has a robust and solid design and requires minimum space on deck. It can also be used as a scrambling net for the man overboard to climb to safety.
Dacon Scrambling Net
The Dacon Scrambling Net is a rigid and robust net that enables a person to climb onboard in a safe manner. The solid net has a non-slip surface which prevents the person in the water from losing grip.
The net meets all the requirements for use by standby and emergency response vessels and is used by rescue vessels worldwide. It’s easy to unfold, and when rolled up into the vessel, it takes up minimal space.
The net usually is 1,5-2,5 meters wide and 1,5 meter long below the surface but can be customized according to your needs.
Dacon Rescue Basket
Our Rescue Basket has been used on several ships for over 30 years – i.e. on Rescue Vessels, Navy Ships, Commercial Vessels, Offshore Support Vessels and Commercial Vessels.
The rescue basket is made of a robust aluminium construction with soft padding, making it durable and suitable for all weather conditions. When in water, this recovery device has a low floating position, making it easier for people to get inside.
The basket comes in three different models with capacity for 4-8 people. For more information about which model might suit your needs, please contact us.
Dacon Rescue Dummy
Water rescue training is essential for anyone working in the maritime industry. Dacon is a leading manufacturer of realistic and high-quality rescue dummies used in preparation for an emergency. Our Rescue Dummy can float in either a vertical or horizontal position. It is also available with a negative buoyancy for underwater training.
The rescue dummy has realistic limbs, height (190 cm) and weight (up to 85 kg) and is highly resistant and robust. It’s designed to survive a drop from a tall ship or even from a helicopter. This makes the manikin ideal for Search and Recovery training and recovery drills.
Since we developed the rescue manikin, it has been used not only on ships but also by fire departments, in divers training, and several police departments.
