 HEALY
carries one 38 foot aluminum hull cargo boat (LCVP)
as part of normal outfit. If a mission requires, HEALY
can carry a second cargo boat or 38 foot arctic survey
boat (ASB) based on the same design but with a cabin
to accommodate counter space and power for limited science
operations independent of the ship. These boats are
launched by crane and require good environmental conditions
for launch and recovery.
HEALY also carries two rigid hull inflatable boats
(RHIB) that are seven meters in length. Each RHIB is
launched with Miranda type launch and recovery system,
which can be used in a wide variety of weather/sea conditions
and can accommodate up to 9 passengers.
Ice and weather conditions will dictate whether small
boats can be safely operated in support of scientific
operations. Small boat support needs should be addressed
as part of the cruise planning process.
