Second order of the SAR version in few months after the one from the Japan Coast Guard : Japan Coast Guard orders three additional H225 helicopters | Jane's 360

The 225 makes for an excellent SAR platform and the SAR variants are exceptional. The military will be able to live quite happily with the current operational restrictions. They have a very different risk profile to the commercial operators where the safety benefits of the new platform to the SAR mission outweigh lingering concerns over the MGB. I would also image they were cut a very decent deal. It is a good place to start rehabilitating the type's reputation. E&P operations are another matter.
