We are willing to provide ship training and to make her 100% sea worthy, as she has been sitting in dock for the past year.
We decommissioned her because she has been in service for over 25 years and was replaced by the newer hospital ship, RVS Care Giver. The Mercy is near state of the art and will only require minimal upgrades.
