Design Overview
The MR600 &
MR700 RIB are heavy duty high speed commercial river boats
with composite and Kevlar reinforced hulls Propulsion is
done by an outboard engines of 50HP (MR600) and 175HP
(MR700) which gives an excellent and very high performance,
shallow draft and unparalleled manoeuvrability.
The craft layout
features a center console and offers place for 6 people
including crew.
It has an big
reinforced cargo deck to transport different type of goods,
passengers and or equipment.
All fasteners
throughout the whole craft are of A4 high grade stainless
steel and feature nylon isolation washers between dissimilar
metals to avoid galvanic corrosion.
Design Approval
Craft
are well proven with craft in commercial service world-wide.
They are built
in accordance with The Lloyds register guidelines for
professional patrol boats.
Load bearing
structures are designed with the aid of computer simulated
finite element analysis to ensure sufficient strength and
tested where applicable.
Hull & Deck
The hull is
moulded as unitary mouldings manufactured from a
comprehensive reinforced laminated composite structure of
chopped strand mat and stitched unidirectional mat
impregnated throughout with polyester resin.
The complete
hull inner structure is made of very thick laminated GRP
with Kevlar reinforcements.
Application is
by hand strictly in accordance with design weights.
Internally the
hull is reinforced with a complex system of longitudinal and
transverse thick reinforced GRP laminated keels and
bulkheads with intermediate deck beams to support and tie
together the hull and deck.
The result is an
immensely strong structure with excellent weight properties.
Each of the hull
voids created by the internal hull structure is limbered to
a single bilge area at the transom on the centreline.
The hull, deck
and internal structure are suitably reinforced in way of
samson posts, through deck fittings and lift points.
