UK boatbuilder Marine Specialised Technology (MST) is introducing its new 8m RIB, fitted out as a patrol and enforcement craft for the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority, at the Seawork commercial marine exhibition this week.
The RIB will be berthed at V50 on the floating pontoon and the MST team will be on stand Q15 at the Seawork exhibition being held in Southampton, UK, from 25 to 27 June 2013.
It features inboard diesel waterjet propulsion and an aft helm position for four crew on height-adjustable, shock mitigation seating.
Capable of 36 knots, the new MCA-coded vessel has already entered service to assist in the management of salmonid (salmon and sea trout) and eel populations in coastal and estuarine waters.
The 800 SEABOAT RIB features MST’s trademark combination of composite hull and marine aluminium top side fabrications offering excellent access to all areas for servicing and maintenance.
A military specification inflatable collar system, designed and manufactured in house by MST’s sister company, Specialised Inflatable Technology Limited, offers mechanical attachment for ease of servicing and replacement and features MST’s unique Bow Reinforcing Cap (BRC) system to allow aggressive bow-on manoeuvres and resistance to damage.
The 800 SEABOAT can be transported in a standard 40’ container.
