Italian Navy Integrates SAVER Submarine Rescue Suite Aboard OSV Tritone

The Italian Navy has embarked DRASS's SAVER submarine-rescue suite aboard the multipurpose offshore support vessel Tritone, marking the system's first deployment on the ship and the beginning of sea acceptance trials. Tritone displayed the modular package during the Trans-Regional Seapower Symposium in Venice on October 6–7 before returning to La Spezia on October 14 for further testing. SAVER combines rapid intervention, ventilation and rescue equipment, with Saipem contributing a work-class remotely operated vehicle to its underwater support capability. The trials will help define requirements for future Italian multipurpose underwater-surveillance vessels planned from 2031, rather than indicating completed rescue-system acceptance.
