Trøndelag Brann og Redningstjeneste IKS (TBRT) is an inter-municipal company that is owned by 5 municipalities; Trondheim (85.23 %), Malvik (6.02 %), Indre Fosen (4.54 %), Oppdal (3.06 %), and Rennebu (1.15 %). The first 3 of these border Trondheim fjord.
The new vessel is intended for use in rescues and fire fighting, and for assistance in acute pollution in TBRT's area of responsibility, which comprises Trondheim fjord and the inner coastal areas.
The boat will make up an important part of the total fire and rescue stand-by that TBRT provides and must, therefore, be constructed to handle assignments 365 days a year under all the meteorological conditions that can be encountered.
Participation in extinguishing fires is very important for the vessel. It must therefore be possible to equip the vessel with the pump capacity and functionality that ensures this work. Trondheim and Råkvåg in Indre Fosen Municipality consist of areas at risk of fires with wooden buildings worthy of protection located close to the fjord. Pumps and extinguishing equipment must therefore be of such a nature and quality that it can be continually used over time during long operations. It is also important that the boat can be kept stable and in position under such operation without one needing to moor it to the land.
Rescue jobs will be a central function for the new boat and it is therefore important that the design of the deck and access to and from sea is simple and safe. Rescue jobs by divers require a good and open deck area for the necessary equipment. It must also be simple and safe to move from boat to sea and vice versa. In the event of drowning and other accidents, there will be a need for an internal stretcher place where the necessary treatment is possible.
As a place of work, the boat must be ensure safe transport of divers and rescue personnel to the destination place, as well as providing good communication possibilities between the crew and divers, both before and during the rescue. The boat's activities mean that it must be possible to take onboard passengers and place them in an area that is appropriate and that does not put further rescue operations in danger.
In some cases the boat will be used to assist in the acute phase of emissions and pollution. This work can involve laying out and towing booms, as well as transporting equipment or other assignments. The boat must therefore always fulfil the current requirements for carrying out this type of work. It will also be important that heavy equipment can be transported on deck in a secure way as regards fastening and stability.
As only one fire boat has been planned, TBRT has a need for an all-round vessel, with minimal danger of operational interruptions, good speed and sufficient range.
