Last week, NRB member Mercy Ships announced that its “Global Mercy™” completed deep-water sea trials, placing it one step closer to the new hospital ship’s delivery, equipping, maiden voyage, and launch into service to sub-Saharan Africa in 2022.
Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class healthcare services, capacity building, and sustainable development to those with little access in the developing world. The ministry’s ships are crewed by volunteers from over 60 nations, with an average of over 1,200 volunteers each year. Professionals including surgeons, dentists, nurses, healthcare trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers, and agriculturalists donate their time and skills.
World’s largest civilian hospital ship successfully passes final sea trials Today 05:05 am JST Today | 06:50 am JST GARDEN VALLEY, Texas
Mercy Ships announced this week that the Global Mercy has now completed deep water sea trials, one of the final milestones in the countdown towards the hospital ship’s delivery, equipping, maiden voyage and launch into service to sub-Saharan Africa in 2022.
Deep water trials are designed to test the vessel during extended sailing time to ensure that all systems are fully operational and in line with strict standards and specifications. Tests include engine performance and fuel consumption, navigation and radio equipment, emergency systems, speed tests, maneuverability, engine, and thruster tests as well as safety evaluations.
ONE of the more important things about Ian Blackford standing up and delivering his speech is that it is beamed unedited worldwide. All those news outlets that congratulated the spectacular independence majority in Holyrood will have been watching, and I rather think that Johnson knows that – hence he did not answer! Well, that, and he is a petulant, spoiled man child that has never, at a guess, had the word “no” directed at him. Johnson cannot cope with defeat, he cannot cope with having to do the will of others, and certainly does not register in his overly privileged Oxbridge mind the right of the democratic will.
