These vessels provide cover in the event of a shipping incident posing a potential threat to the environment. Whilst providing an extremely important role as intervention vessels, there are usually long periods of time between emergency incidents where the ETVs are standing-by. It is proposed that, during these stand-by times, the vessels could be utilised in support of the CHP.
