The 8.5-meter class includes 18 lifeboats (SRB) of the German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People (DGzRS). Between 1987 and 1994, 17 ships were built at the Fassmer shipyard and one at the Schweers shipyard and boatyard .
Today four boats of this class are still in service with the DGzRS. One boat is used by the DLRG , two boats are used by the Uruguayan Maritime Rescue Service and one each is used by the Estonian Maritime Rescue Service and the Danish Maritime Rescue Service DSRS .
properties
After the DGzRS had gained experience with lifeboats since the 1970s, the second generation of these powerful ships came into being at the end of the 1980s. The most important improvements were a significantly increased speed with high seaworthiness, an expanded rescue service and medical equipment as well as a circumferential fender system , which enables walking alongside even in difficult conditions. A salvage gate on the starboard side, almost level with the waterline in the ship's side, makes it possible to take shipwrecked people floating in the water on board without having to straighten them up.
The hull was in a proven way of seawater-resistant aluminum of a grid frame built. A lower control stand in the ship and an open upper control stand are available for control. The ships are propelled by a diesel engine with 215 hp, which drives a fixed propeller via a reversing gear. This enables them to reach a speed of 18 knots; the range is about 200 nautical miles.
The equipment includes a tow hook, searchlights, mobile bilge pumps , medical and technical equipment as well as radio and navigation technology .
Starting in 1987, three prototypes were built to test the concept and gain experience. The following series ships, which were built from 1992, are 24 cm longer and designed as self- erecting.
The rescue boats of this class are manned at short notice by volunteers of the DGzRS and are used in the North and Baltic Seas.
After reunification , some of them replaced the motor lifeboats of the GDR Sea Rescue Service . Most of the ships in this class have since retired from active service with the DGzRS. In the coming years, other boats in this class are to be replaced by new builds in the 10.1 m class or the 8.9 m class .
