The Vessel

An ambulance,
built for open water

The OBLUE MEDIC 22 is a 22-metre carbon fiber ambulance catamaran designed for 35 knots — built for a Norwegian ambulance boat operator to carry emergency medical care out of Stavanger to the populated islands of Ryfylke.

In service since June 2021, she pairs a top-modern ambulance room with two fully equipped stretcher positions with a catamaran platform chosen for stability and deck space — and her 2,000 L/min water cannon makes her a first responder when fires are out of reach from land.

35-Knot Response

Twin Volvo Penta D13 engines on IPS pod drives take the MEDIC 22 to 35 knots — critical assignments reached quickly, large distances covered in a short time.

Two-Stretcher Ambulance Room

A top-modern ambulance room with two fully equipped stretcher positions and modern medical equipment — an emergency ward afloat, not just a cabin.

Stretchers In, Fore or Aft

An efficient layout lets the ambulance room be entered quickly from both the fore and aft decks with rolling stretchers — no time lost at the quay or alongside.

First Responder on Fire

A water cannon spraying 2,000 litres of seawater per minute makes the MEDIC 22 first responder when fires prove inaccessible from land — a boost for fire preparedness in Ryfylke.

On Board

A treatment room,
not just a cabin

The spacious ambulance room is equipped with modern medical equipment around two stretcher positions — laid out for fast, efficient handling of patients, with technical solutions chosen to save minutes.

In Service

On contract for
the Ryfylke islands

Since June 2021 the MEDIC 22 has served the Ryfylke basin under a Norwegian ambulance boat operator's contract — stationed at Judaberg on Finnøy in Rogaland, a marked improvement for ambulance services across the district.
