ESVAGT A/S
Esvagt have been operating since 1981, blazing a unique trail in the standby boat world by approaching the task of rescuing peole from the sea in a seamanlike manner. They chose vessels and systems which they thought would best do the job, and as a result are able to launch and recover their FRCs in virtually any weather conditions. To prove that they are able to do this, and to make their job easier, they have a crew transfer vessel which sails around the serviced locations and changes crews by FRC in all but the most extreme weather.

In this page we have chosen to put the ships which have towing capability in the Anchor-handler table, even though they also have ERRV capability.

Esvagt are now part of the Svitzer group which is in turn owned my Maersk
