JFD Portable Hyperbaric Rescue Facility trials with Boskalis JFD 2019-03-26 | DescriptionJFD successfully completed mating trials with their Lloyd’s classed portable Hyperbaric Rescue Facility (HRF) with Boskalis DSV BOKA Atlantis in September 2018. The mating trials with the HRF and two Self-propelled Hyperbaric Lifeboats (SPHLs) were completed, as planned, in a period of 11 hours with no complications, representing a significant advancement for hyperbaric rescue.In the event of an offshore emergency evacuation, even once saturation divers have reached the perceived relative safety of the surface via a hyperbaric lifeboat, they still need to undergo a thorough decompression process to gradually return them to sea level before being exposed to atmospheric pressure. This requires the capability of a hyperbaric rescue system. Although the preferred option may be to transfer saturation divers to a fixed Hyperbaric Rescue Centre (HRC) often due to time constraints, and depending the location of the diving campaign, this can be challenging. Therefore having access to a portable HRF, at the nearest available port, is a key element which allows the divers to begin decompression sooner. It is critical that this process is handled with care and due diligence to ensure that the divers are not exposed to any risk of decompression sickness.JFD has played a leading role in the provision of hyperbaric reception services having maintained the UK’s only land based fixed HRF, at the National Hyperbaric Centre, since 1987. Building on this pedigree, and its success as a global hyperbaric rescue operator, the company has designed and built multiple advanced HRF systems that are currently in operation globally.
