For military medical support as a hospital ship, Berlin-class replenishment ship can be equipped with a so-called Marine Rescue Center (MERZ). The MERZ system consists of a network of 26 ISO special containers, which form a two-storey deckhouse and are connected to the on-board supply network. The containers contain examination rooms, operating rooms, diagnostic and therapeutic facilities as well as laboratories. A bedside under-deck instead of a hold is designed for the care of 45 patients.
