A purpose-built unmanned rescue vessel

Guardian II is a fast rescue and recovery craft designed to extend the operational envelope of conventional fast rescue craft. Capable of crewed or remote operation, it can perform multiple roles including search, patrol, standby and person-in-water recovery.

Integrated with Zelim’s Swift rescue conveyor, Guardian II enables the rapid recovery of people and equipment from the water, reducing the need to put additional personnel at risk. Optional ZOE intelligent detection provides enhanced situational awareness and supports remote and unmanned operation.
