The frame is one of two Launch & Recovery systems that are currently being built for a western navy. Now that the painting process has been completed, the team in the workshop will begin assembling the lifting mechanism of the LARS. Once the system is complete, it will be used to transport divers and equipment into and out of the water, quickly and safely.

SMP’s LARS are IMCA D023 and D018 compliant and have design approval to Lloyds’ rules for lifting appliances in a marine environment. Our systems can also be constructed under survey to stipulated standards, rules and regulations.

SMP have delivered a large number of LARS based on the requirements of each individual client. With reliability and ease of use being the key focus, SMP’s LARS are built to withstand harsh environments. They are a worldwide recognised name in the industry, delivering launch and recovery systems for various markets including military, commercial diving and scientific research.
