The Inland Seas Boat Company was established in 1946 to
build police and fire boats. It was
expanded into domestic yachts that were custom built to individual
specifications. In 1986 Mr. Lang
retired and the company was acquired by Health Care Benefits.
The production now however, is only medical boats. Proof of durability of
some of these boats are given below:
a)
The carrier four IV has been used continuously by the Chicago Yacht Club
since 1962.
b)
The Cleveland patrol boat is still in service after thirty years and five
engines later.
c)
The Maryland Police have thirty-nine boats that have been in continuous
service since the mid ’60.

A thirty two foot standard cruiser has a time proven hull design and over five hundred of them
have been built. This is the basis
for our ambulance boat. The forty
two foot boat has been the basis of
many personal cruisers and is the ideal platform for laboratory and medical use.
The fifty four foot triple cabin yacht is the largest boat we have made
to date. Of the fifteen hundred
boats that have been built over the last fifty years, our research shows that
over one thousand are still in service. We
continue to build only this quality of boats.

A PROPOSAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
AND MAINTENANCE OF MEDICAL BOATS ALONG THE UCALAYI RIVER BASIN IN PERU
Overview
One of the major problems that exists today is inadequate
health care. In many of the
world’s impoverished regions, health care is non-existent. This is due to various factors including inadequate
transportation, lack of medical facilities and the high cost of permanent
facilities. Our many years in the
health care field led us to the conclusion that specific diseases and health
care dispensing vehicles. The
realization that 1/5 of the world’s population lives on or beside waterways
gave rise to the idea of a mobile clinic capable of negotiating these shallow
waters. Thus, the medical boat was
conceived.
In our investigation of an economic way to provide health
care through use of medical boats, many types of watercraft were researched.
We concluded the ideal watercraft is a boat of approximately twelve
meters in length and four meters wide. It
should be highly mobile with moderate range, shallow draft, and completely
self-contained for rural use. A
team approach was used to design and equip such a boat.
The desired treatment modality is emergency care and prevention, rather
than long-term surgical care. The
desired treatment modality and size restrictions imposed by the shallow waters
make specific medical care on individual boats more practical and efficient than
combining multiple treatment options. We
thus provide medical boats offering several types of medical care such as
dental, general medical, ob-gyn, eye care, and general health screenings.
Each boat will be equipped with the supplies and equipment necessary for
the medical care identified as needed for a specific region.
The use of multiple boats having similar size and
construction simplifies maintenance and repair. Moreover, the medical supply replenishment requirements for
all boats can be standardized. The
labour force would be small and cross-trained, giving a reduction of cost.
Thus, the entire approach to health care is one of mobility, specific
treatment modalities, and minimum cost per individual treated. We fully realize
that this is not the answer to health care, but perhaps a giant step toward
solving some of the problems.
The project is to build ambulance boats, dental boats, and
medical boats for the treatment of villagers along the tributaries of the
Ucalayi River in Peru. These people
have very little medical care and in some villages none.
There are no roads or hospitals within four hours by fast boats (20mph)
to the nearest villages. The medical boats will allow us to take care of a village of
four hundred to five hundred people in one months time. The main concern is to upgrade the health of the young.
The only other way to treat these people is by a week’s journey by
canoe or by helicopter (which is expensive).
The entire burden of this project will be humanitarian; as Peru cannot
afford to do this for its people.
The construction of three boats has already begun for this
project and the boats will have a useful life of five to ten years.
All boats have a range of five hundred miles and one hundred gallon of
fresh water with pollution control waste. Delivery
of the boats could be within six to nine months.
The boats are those that Mr. Archie Lang, former owner of Inland Seas
Boat Company, had previously built and are in good condition.
By the use of these boats we can cut the delivery time in half and the
cost by two thirds. The cost for
each new boat, excluding supplies and medical equipment, is three hundred to
five hundred thousand dollars. After
the first three boats have been delivered, all additional boats will be of new
manufacture.
|
The boats are a follows:
-
27 ft. ambulance boat, single
motor 350hp, 35mph
-
32 ft dental boat, twin motors 250hp,
25mph
-
36 ft medical boat, twin
motors 250hp, 20mph
The organization of the project will be with the Amazon
Basin Benevolent Association (Dr. Carl Schell) and the Ucalayi Ministers of
Health, Agriculture and Director of the Region, Health Care Benefits will build the boats under the
assistance of Mr. Ernie Pesko. The
medical personnel will be provided by the regional Health Ministry.
Health Care Benefits and Amazon Basin Benevolent Association will have
the ongoing responsibility for the training of the medical personnel,
maintenance of the boats and management of the project.
|
 |
The director of the Region will
provide the proper government documents for the importation of the boats and the
supplies into Peru. The staff will
manage all the importation requirements.
The initial proposal is for the construction, outfitting
and maintenance of the first three boats only for a period of five years.
Ten additional boats are also submitted, on a boat by boat basis.
|
Total cost of new boat for five years
|
$1,516,000.00
|
This figure is to cover full turn key facilities from beginning to the end of
the project..........
