While the cruise ship industry is really not our niche here on gCaptain, we can’t help but enjoy the videos that Royal Carribean is regularly producing on the construction of the world’s largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas. This latest episode titled Rescue Vessels: Revolutionizing life boat design is no different.

See how the unprecedented size and stability of each lifeboat, as well as its positioning on the embarkation deck and accommodations for special needs guests makes emergency response more effective than ever.
