The High Seas Medical Vessel is a mobile medical facility designed for emergencies at sea; it is essentially a floating hospital. Its main mission is to provide immediate medical assistance, including advanced medical services such as surgery and CPR, to crew members and seafarers who are involved in accidents at sea, such as ship accidents or natural disasters.
These vessels are well-equipped with advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment, abundant stocks of medicines, life essentials and a professional medical team, and are able to travel quickly to the accident site after receiving a distress signal to provide emergency treatment and support to injured personnel. Its goal is to ensure the safety of the lives of crew members and seafarers as well as their physical health, and to maintain the stability of international shipping lanes and the smooth operation of maritime activities.
