Aberdeen marine and naval architects are putting their skills to good use in a way which will help deliver free, vital medical care to some of the poorest countries in the world.
Kevin Moran, Colin MacFarlane and Matthew Heyman, who work for Tymore Marine, have offered to provide structural design and analysis for the replacement of two original lifeboats onboard the Africa Mercy.
As part of international aid organisation Mercy Ships, the vessel acts as a floating hospital which is in much need of modern enclosed lifeboats and davits.
