The SMP Wet Bell Launch and Recovery System (LARS) is designed within a compact operating footprint to minimise the required operational deck space on board a vessel or barge. Emphasis has been placed on ease of mobilisation and demobilisation, so that costs are kept to a minimum. The Wet Bell LARS is IMCA D023, IMCA D037 and IMCA D018 compliant with additional Third Party Design approval to Lloyds Rules for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment.
