rescue vessels
Maritime salvation craft
Rescue vessels are ships or boats designed or deployed to save people in distress at sea.
Coast guards operate rescue vessels for emergencies near shore, while larger vessels respond to shipwrecks or aircraft crashes in open water.
The rescue vessels reached the capsized ferry within hours.
The term also applies to any boat pressed into service during a maritime emergency.
