MRP - medical care station for refugees
MRP is helping migrants into a new society & is also used to hasten with registration processing.
The Marine Rescue Platform (MRP) is designed to function as a medical care station, tugboat or relief supply platform for refugees and shipwreck victims reducing risks and tragedies associated with unsafe vessels. Serving to temporarily accommodate the refugees, the design makes use of hexagonal floating bodies connected via snap rings and propelled by solar powered pump jets. Aimed at helping to integrate migrants into a new society, the space is also used to hasten distribution mechanisms with identity registration and documentation processing.
