Hovercraft
Training Centers’ Senior Instructor Chris Fitzgerald recently travelled to
Hanoi to conduct hovercraft flight and maintenance training for first
responders from Viet Nam’s National Department of Rescue and Relief, as well as
personnel from Tuyet NGA Co. Ltd., a security and rescue equipment supplier.
Tuyet NGA
purchased two Neoteric rescue hovercraft, which will be used by the National
Emergency Response Team of the Department of Rescue and Relief. The Department,
under the Ministry of National Defense, is responsible for coordinating both
military and non-military forces in search and rescue operations and disaster
relief.
