Singapore Allocates SGD10 Million Towards Upgrading of Submarine Rescue Ship

The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) has set aside SGD10 million (USD7.1 million) towards upgrades of its submarine rescue ship and its related sub-systems.

The matter was revealed by the RSN chief, Rear Admiral Lai Chung Han during his presentation at the International Maritime Security Conference, which was held in conjunction with the IMDEX 2017 maritime defence exhibition at the Changi Exhibition Centre on 16 May.

The admiral has, however, not given further details on the planned upgrades, saying only that these will result in "better submarine rescue capabilities" for the RSN. The upgrades will take place over the next two years, he added.

The RSN has been operating a 4,300-tonne helicopter-capable ship, MV Swift Rescue, jointly with a commercial operator since April 2009. The 83 m vessel is equipped with a 9.6 m, 25-tonne submarine rescue vehicle (SRV) known as the Deep Search and Rescue-6 (DSAR-6), and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with manipulator arms.

Swift Rescue is currently the only ship in Southeast Asia that is capable of mating and conducting collective rescue and transfer of distressed submariners while under pressure. The platform is equipped with a recompression chamber that can rehabilitate up to 40 rescued submariners, in four separate compartments, at any one point of time.

  1. Indonesia udah jalanin kapal selam dari 60'an..alias sdh 50 thn lebih

    Tapi ngk pernah nyiapin rescue support seperti Singapore.. Sampe skrg bicarain nambah Kapal Selem sampai 12..tapi support seperti ini masih blm diwujudkan..yg ada cuma rencana doang..

    Tapi ngk apa2..yg penting 'strong'..kalau ada emergency.. Yah suruh aja keluar dan nyelem sendiri..soal masalah decompression.. Urusan lain...

    1. Operating a SMER type vessel is not cheap.. we operate one minus the DSRV. Kerjasama adalah penting. Sekiranya terdapat kecemasan, selaku negara jiran serantau Indonesia boleh meminta pertolongan daripada Malaysia mahupun Singapura. No shame it that.

    4. Intinya..support seperti ini emang mahal..tapi masih lebih murah dari 1 kapal selam baru..

      Ini bikin rencana mau 12 kspal selam..tapi ngk nyiapin rencana dan implementasi buat emergency rescue support infrastructure seperti yg singapore buat.

      Daripada kasak kusuk mau beli kilo..batalin aja tuh rencana..toh udah ada 3 DSME 209..Bikin 1 rescue vessels lengkap dg proper srv..

      Baru habis itu mikirin nambah submarine..
