Amserdam: Dutch shipbuilder Royal IHC and Dräger have joined forces in the area of fully integrated diving support vessels (DSV).

The two companies said their initial focus will be vessels with automated, 18-person, twin bell saturation diving systems offered to clients under a single contract.

IHC and Dräger say that the alliance will simplify the process of procuring, integrating and certifying a DSV between the customer and IHC, with Dräger as a fully allied subcontractor.

Headquartered in Germany, Dräger makes breathing and protection equipment, gas detection and analysis systems.
