The Kewatec Work 1560 ORV is an F-class oil spill response and rescue vessel that covers the archipelago and shallow shores, but also the open sea near the coast. It can also be driven in ice. The boat is equipped for both firefighting and rescue tasks. In addition to a comprehensive navigation equipment, it includes, a thermal camera, a gas alarm, a fire pump, a hydraulic crane, etc. The boat is roughly divided into two parts – a floating and therefore particularly quiet wheelhouse, and the space under the deck. There are three suspension seats in the wheelhouse, one for the helmsman and one on the both sides for the other two crew members. It also has a table and a pantry that includes a small washbasin with taps, a microwave, a coffeemaker and a refrigerator. The wheelhouse is pressurized and isolated from the deck with an entry vestibule. This will protect the crew from toxic gases if necessary. There is also an emergency shower on the deck. The space under the deck is divided into four parts. From the bow, the first is a storage room with a watertight bulkhead and the entry from the deck. The second part has a spacious toilet and a room that serves as a storage and a temporary accommodation. The space has a hatch, and a loading level that rises to the same level with the deck. The boat’s fuel tanks are also in this space, as is the water and sewage tank. In the middle of the hull is a waterproof oil spill recovery compartment. Through openable hatches, oily waste collected by skimmers is pumped through the transom into bags that are either stored on the deck or dropped into the sea to float. Purified water is pumped back into the sea through the bottom.
