Brazilian Navy rescue ship United Arab Emirates
Adams Challenge – Support Vessel that will be converted into a Rescue Ship.

The Brazilian Navy signed a contract for the acquisition of the former commercial diving support vessel Adams Challenge, which would serve as its new submarine rescue vessel (SRS).

In her new role, the Adams Challenge which was purchased by the Brazilian Navy would replace the current Navy SRS Felinto Perry which was commissioned in 1988. The new vessel is currently in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and will be transferred to Brazil by Adams Offshore, the vessel's owner.

The Navy is also sending a crew that will become familiar with operating the ship. The vessel should arrive in Rio de Janeiro in December this year. Measuring 85 meters in length, the dynamically positioned ship features a MoonPool and a helipad.
