“In connection with the King’s 50th anniversary on the throne, he donated a large sum to the Swedish Sea Rescue Society, which will enable the construction of a brand new rescue boat.

News item from The Swedish Sea Rescue Society Published12 Sep 2024

Over the weekend, The King visited the shipyard where the boat is being built to see the process and drawings of the boat’s design.

King Carl XVI Gustaf has shown his support for Swedish sea rescue through a generous donation that will enable the construction of a brand new rescue boat and thus a new class of boat. This initiative is part of the King’s long-standing commitment to the Swedish Sea Rescue Society and to promoting safety at sea.

Over the weekend, The King visited the shipyard where the boat is being developed. Together with representatives from the Swedish Sea Rescue Society, The King was shown the process and drawings of the boat’s design.

Brand new 15 meter rescue boat

The new class of boat is specially designed to meet today’s requirements for maritime safety and effective rescue services. With improved technology and higher performance, the new boat will be able to operate in tougher conditions, further strengthening the capabilities of the Sea Rescue Society.

The rescue boat has good working areas with a separate command post, a floating wheelhouse for the best working environment and a large aft deck with space for a Rescuerunner. In addition, the boat is prepared for hybrid operation allowing for silent searches and to operate the boat with one diesel engine and two waterjets to reduce emissions when maneuvering and towing.

Valuable donation for maritime safety

The new class of boat represents a significant development in Swedish maritime rescue, and the donation from The King is a welcome addition that makes this project possible.

“It is valuable that donors want to be involved and invest in our new projects and concepts. It enables us to develop rescue boats for sea rescue both today and in the future,” says Lars Samuelsson, CEO of the Swedish Sea Rescue Society.

The CEO of the Swedish Sea Rescue Society shows The King a model of the new rescue boat.

The first unit is currently in production. The expected launch date is sometime in 2025.

The FRC has been out on three Taskings (how we refer to missions) and the seat are perfect. We have only gone out in 25knot winds so far and the seats made the chop very comfortable, we look for a real test!

The only complaint the crew has is that I should have bought to more sets of foot rests!

The Maritime and Security Agency (Bakamla) launched on Monday the fourth domestically built high-speed patrol vessel, claiming it to be the fastest patrol boat in the country, in Tanjung Uncang waters in Batam, Riau Islands. “I can guarantee that this HSC [high-speed craft] is the fastest patrol boat in Indonesia,” Bakamla chief Vice Adm. Aan Kurnia said at the launch ceremony, adding that the boat would be used to intercept smugglers.

The vessel, built by shipbuilding company PT Palindo Marine Batam, can achieve speeds of around 65 knots (120 kilometers per hour) and cost Rp 10 billion (US$666,267), Aan said. Bakamla will deploy the boat in waters around Ambon in Maluku, which is within the agency’s Eastern Zone area. Previously, the agency had deployed two HSC in Batam in the Western Zone and one in the Central Zone.

“Smuggling boats can go up to 40 knots, which is why it’s important for us to have faster vessels,” Aan said. The Bakamla chief said that ideally each zone should operate 10 HSC. Last year, Government Regulation (PP) No. 13/2022 mandated the agency to improve inter-institutional coordination among various government stakeholders on maritime security and safety.

The regulation mandates Bakamla to lead maritime law enforcement operations and to act as official government representative in international forums on maritime security. The regulation, signed by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo in March 2022, also empowers Bakamla to coordinate with other stakeholders in investigating violations of the law at sea. Bakamla was established in 2014 to boost the effectiveness of law enforcement at sea and is designed to become the country’s coast guard with its own armed vessels.

However, other institutions, including the Navy, already have authority over national waters and the vessels to enforce it. Besides the Navy, the Transportation Ministry runs the Coast and Sea Guard (KPLP) and the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry also has its own division, as does the Customs and Excise Agency and the National Police has its water and air branches. Many provincial administrations also run their own coast guard patrols. (dre)

“New super-fast speedboats for defence, special forces, customs, police, coastguard, search and rescue, etc. are being developed at a rapid pace. This is the main conclusion after the three-day “High Speed Boat Operations Forum” in Gothenburg 31 August – 2 September.

Text: Tor Husby

The speedboat forum was held for the 10th time. This year, the attendance counted some 300 invited delegates from 21 countries, and 22 boat types were presented. The speedboats are not just get- ting faster, but they are also better and safer than just a few years ago, and can be pow- ered by outboard engines of up to 500-600 horsepower. The speed potential is usually in excess of 60 knots, or 70 mph – 110 kph. Any accidents at this speed are likely to look like a freeway crash.

Carl Magnus Ullman, general secretary of the Gothenburg forum, says that European speedboat manufacturers and developers have come much further than the USA,

which is still struggling for better safety for the fast boat crews.”

PALFINGER MARINE secured a challenging order entailing the development of a new range of rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIBs) for the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM) early last year.

“repost from https://www.palfingermarinestories.com/rescue-boats-for-knrm/”
“The keel laying ceremony of the first prototype of twelve boats in January 2023 marks the start of the production phase. The new 7.5-meter long, twin outboard RHIBs are specifically designed for fast interventions in the toughest conditions.

We sat down for a chat with our colleague Lise Dora Sluijter, Project Manager at PALFINGER MARINE in our Harderwijk office, to discuss how she experienced the exciting project in her capacity as project lead – and why this particular venture is so close to her heart.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to us, Lise. Let’s start with your personal background. Could you tell us a little about yourself?

Sure! I joined PALFINGER MARINE as a project manager in 2020, specifically for lifesaving appliances. I arrived with almost ten years of experience in the maritime technology industry. I followed my calling early by studying to be a marine officer at the Maritime Academy before entering a post-grad program in business administration, graduating with a master’s degree in marine shipping innovations in 2018.

What exactly does your job entail? How would you describe it?

As project manager, I am the key link between the customer and the internal project team. I am therefore at the center of any given project. I need to keep everybody on the team aligned, ensuring that customer needs and contract specifications are translated into an according product design. To this end, it is essential to remain critical, empathize with the customer, and maintain customer-centricity down to the smallest detail.

What is your role in the current KNRM project? And why is this particular project so special to you?

I am responsible for the project developing the new PB 750 RHIBs, a replacement of the current boat series used by KNRM, which have reached the end of their lifecycle. In this case, the customer is what makes the project so special to me. KNRM constitutes an association of mainly volunteers and operates no less than 42 rescue stations in the Netherlands. Almost everyone in the country knows the association itself, especially those who pursue a maritime hobby, or enjoy a relationship with any marine environment.

I spent every week during my childhood on the water in various types of boats, so KNRM is an organization that has accompanied me for most of my life.Lise Dora Sluijter, Project Manager at PALFINGER MARINE

I went on to carve out a career in the maritime industry, meaning I am particularly proud of being involved in – and even managing – this project. Some former classmates from the Maritime Academy are KNRM volunteers, so that adds another level to it.

What have been the greatest challenges so far?

I would argue that predicting every possible rescue scenario – and incorporating the correspondent features into the new, customized boat design – posed the greatest challenge. The original list of functional requirements provided by KNRM had approximately 45 items. However, this list had ballooned to more than 100 items by the final stage of the engineering phase.

We collaborated very closely with KNRM to consider all aspects of technical possibilities, costs, safety, maintenance, durability, and lifecycles. The result is a state-of-the-art design perfectly aligned with customer demands.

What is the timeline for the project? Will you be involved until full order completion?

I have been involved in the project right from the outset. I will accompany it until the RHIBs are delivered, including review of the internal testing procedures of KNRM to compile documentation for the new series.

In terms of timeframe, the assembly phase is scheduled for end of May. Our internal testing procedure should be completed by the end of August, meaning final delivery can be made in September 2023.

Let’s end our interview how we started it – on a personal note. How did you develop a passion for the marine industry?

Like I mentioned earlier, I grew up on various types of boats. My parents still own one, actually. The moment I completed secondary school, I started looking for studies and jobs that incorporate my passion for the sea and vessels.

That’s how I ended up at the Maritime Academy. I used to ride to Rotterdam Port to watch the ships – and I still do whenever I find the time during holidays!

So, all in all, I would say I have found the perfect stage for combining my passion for the sea with my professional dedication right here at PALFINGER MARINE. I love how my role allows me to facilitate the transition between theory and practice.”

To find out more about this exciting and challenging project, check out Palfingers press release about the keel laying ceremony. It includes some photos from a traditional event that promises good fortune during the production phase. We’ll keep an eye on the project and can’t wait to see how it progresses.

We are excited to share with you some updates on Asis latest project, which involves the delivery of two 12-meter-long Transport Rigid Inflatable Boats to the UN’s World Food Programme in Congo. These boats are equipped with 3 powerful Mercury Verado F350HP Outboard Engines and have 4 heavy-duty lifting points.

These transport boats, which have a total fuel capacity of 900 liters divided among 3 fuel tanks, are designed to handle difficult missions and harsh environments. Additionally, they have a variety of cutting-edge Garmin navigation and communication systems, including the GPSMAP 923, GMR 18HD+, Blue Chart G2 Vision, in-hull mount transducer, and AIS 800.

The first boat has 14 Ullman suspension seats and can accommodate up to 14 seated passengers, while the second boat has 2 Ullman suspension seats and 6 bench seats. The second boat can accommodate 24 people, with a capacity of 4 passengers per bench.

These boats are not only strong and adaptable, but they will serve a very significant purpose. They will be used by the UN’s World Food Programme to aid in humanitarian efforts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, ensuring that essential help and supplies can get to communities in need, especially those in remote and difficult-to-reach areas.

We are proud to be a part of this project as a boat manufacturer, and we think that these boats will have a big impact on the lives of those who need them the most. We anticipate supporting initiatives like these in the future and are eager to see them in action.We are proud to be a part of this project as a boat manufacturer, and we think that these boats will have a big impact on the lives of those who need them the most.

Let get back on “tracks” 😉

With ‘Ambush’, Marell extends the M15 range, delivering a tender with quad(!) Mercury Verado 450R and 10 Custom Ullman Daytona seats to the mediterranean. 

Marell extends the M15 platform with the Tender model
Marell Boats delivers its first two M15 Tenders during the second quarter of this year. They are
both custom-built for their new owners, where one will be based in the Mediterranean Sea and
the other in the Stockholm archipelago. Extending the M15 platform to custom-built Tender
models has been a priority for the shipyard this year.
The two 15-meter boats are designed and built for pleasure boating with a large sunbed on the
foredeck, and with a large sofa with a generous seating area that can be transformed into a
spacious sunbed on the aft deck. The suspension seating will protect the driver, navigator, and
passengers during high speeds and harsh conditions. Other features include champagne
coolers, sunroof, water toys storage, carbon fiber interior, gangway, several fridges, and more.

The M15 Tender is based on Marell’s successful and proven M15 platform that was awarded
the “Interceptor of the year” by the Baird publication, both 2019 and 2020. The M15 platform
was selected as a patrol vessel by the Marine Police in Stockholm and as a fire fighter craft by
the Greater Stockholm Fire Department, as well as a sightseeing boat by Hurtigruten Svalbard.
Marell can now offer civilian versions with the launch of the M15 Tender model.
“We are excited to launch additional M15 models and are confident that also recreational
customers now can enjoy the ground-breaking performance our M15 Tender delivers, incl.
speeds at around 65 knots, sensational maneuverability, energy efficiency and now also quality
pleasure boating.” says Patrik Söderholm, founder and CEO of Marell Boats.
The first M15 Tender carries the new Mercury V12 600hp Verado outboard engines which
deliver not only extraordinary fuel economy but also superior maneuverability. Thanks to the
steerable gear case with dual counter-rotating propellers the boat can be smoothly operated
with a joystick during docking or Skyhook mode. This V12 engine is part of a new era from
Mercury changing the industry in terms of not only performance but also service intervals which
minimizes downtime for demanding users. One of the many features of the V12 outboard
engine is that it can run up to 200 hours between engine oil changes.
“We have a long relationship with Marell Boats and are very proud to have delivered the first
quadruple V12 set-up in Europe to them, a set-up suitable for very demanding customers.
Marell’s range of models suits our engine program exceptionally well.” says Pontus Liljequist,
CEO Brunswick Marine Sweden.

When operating in the most adverse sea- conditions, we expect our gear to fulfill its purpose. 

Ullman is a  must for all professional end- users!!

Salvamento Maritimo, the maritime search and rescue (SAR) agency that operates under the Spanish Ministry of Development, recently took delivery of two new rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) in a series from Portuguese builder Vanguard Marine.

Each RIB is equipped with four Ullman Dynamics Biscaya jockey seats with suspension systems and a custom-made aluminium console. The deck is covered with anti-slip material on the entire walking surface and is designed to accept different configurations depending on operational requirements. A rail system was therefore installed to allow the seats to be quickly and easily disassembled, assembled, and repositioned on the deck as needed.

A maximum of 24 people can be accommodated in addition to two crewmembers, making the boats ideal for situations wherein large numbers of people need to be evacuated to shore such as in rescuing survivors from a capsized ferry.

“I purchased Ullman seats for my 4.8 meter rib in 2008 and have utilised the vessel in the UK’ s Channel Island rough waters for thirteen years. The suspension and comfortability have been priceless – enjoyed by pilot and passengers alike. I am very impressed with this product which has required no maintenance or adjustment throughout the 13 years.”

“J’ai équipé mon nouveau bateau de 2 sièges ULLMAN Biscaya, et je ne regrette pas ce choix: le confort en navigation est incroyable. Je navigue en effet plus de 4000 nautiques par an, ce qui sollicite énormément le dos et les genoux. Les impacts en navigation sont totalement absorbés par les sièges, ce qui génère beaucoup moins de fatigue en fin de journée.”

“I have equipped my new boat with 2 ULLMAN Biscaya seats, and I do not regret this choice: the comfort in navigation is incredible. I actually sail more than 4000 nautical miles a year, which puts a lot of strain on my back and knees. The impacts in navigation are completely absorbed by the seats, which generates much less fatigue at the end of the day. “

Second vessel delivery marks successful completion of Damen order

On 12th November, the Pakistan Navy commissioned its new Corvette – a Damen OPV 1900 – named PNS Tabuk at the Port of Constanta, Romania. The ship is part of a two vessel order with Damen, signed by the Pakistan Ministry of Defence in 2017. Both ships are built at Damen Shipyards Galati in Romania. The first vessel, PNS Yarmook, joined the Pakistan Navy’s fleet in February this year.

Like her sister vessel, PNS Tabuk is a multipurpose, highly adaptable platform, capable of performing a wide variety of operations in a complex maritime environment. She is able to launch a helicopter and a UAV, as well as two RHIBs simultaneously.

During the commissioning, the delegates – which included many attending the event remotely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic – were addressed by the commanding officer of PNS Tabuk, Captain Muhammad Umair. The Captain acknowledged Damen’s professional competency during the project and expressed confidence in future cooperation.

Managing director of Damen Shipyards Galati Flemming Sorensen, speaking at the event, said, “Damen has been involved in many projects in Pakistan since 1986 and we are very proud of this long-lasting and trusting cooperation.”

He stated that the successful outcome of the project was the result of a close cooperation between all involved.

“Such an achievement is only possible with good coordination, skillful workmanship, excellent teamwork and good cooperation between all parties involved. Despite the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic, the Pakistan, Romanian and Dutch project teams have managed, with perseverance, to continue their work to successful completion.”

Damen will continue to provide support to PNS Tabuk during her service.

Damen’s yard in Galati has built more than 40 vessels for the defence and security segment, including the last seven complex naval vessels for the Royal Netherlands Navy and the Stefan cel Mare offshore patrol vessel, the flagship of the Romanian Border Police.

Our Ref No: Marell M15Q press release  Update

2 November, 2020 – For immediate release

Marell M15 Quad Outboard Open High-Speed Interceptor launched with successful testing completed

Following the success of the M15 Twin Sterndrive Interceptor launched last year at DSEI Defense and Security Equipment International show in London, Marell Boats of Sweden has now taken an additional step in the high-speed interceptor market. Marell is launching the M15 Quad outboard open high-speed interceptor that includes fine tuning of the M15 hull, adding four Mercury 450HP Outboard engines on an extended platform, and support by dynamically operating jack plates. This vessel shows outstanding performance and maneuverability compared to other crafts in this highly competitive market segment. 

The M15 is in particular designed for high speed interception and boarding, with centre steering position for helmsman to optimize control and allow for full view of the surroundings during boarding manoeuvres and high speed turns. The crew and the officers are all safely and comfortable seated in Ullman shock absorbing seats which levels out the impact from the sea at high speeds up to 70 knots. 

The raised fore deck creates a stable platform for the officers when approaching other vessels whilst the lower aft deck can be used when boarding smaller vessels and launching water crafts and rescue runners carried on deck. The aft deck is a very flexible and stable multi-purpose platform from where you even can launch crew members to a helicopter and successfully carry out complex SAR operations in high seas.

The M15 has been extensively tested by the shipyard engineering team, with experience from high speed offshore racing, by the engine manufacturer following strict performance and durability test procedures and also by the Swedish police in the Stockholm archipelago, with nearly 30.000 islands to navigate around. All parties are very satisfied with the safe and stable platform and the performance results achieved with the strong moderate V shaped bottom with hard chines, and longitudinal strakes, that shows no tendencies of chine tripping at full high-speed turns over 50 knots. Other tests, like avoidance tests, U-turn tests and straight-line tests have all confirmed exceptionally high vessel performance, with results in excess of customer expectations. As one example, the vessel accelerates from 0 to 50 knots in less than 12 seconds without losing the sight-line to the horizon.

The vessel is designed to operate in very rough sea conditions, up to Sea State 6. With the full body fore end, the vessel runs extremely dry with no green water on fore deck or spray on windscreens. The hull plate of 8 mm and the special pattern of longitudinal and transversal framing allows the vessel to handle impact from the sea in speeds up to 70 knots without any damages or buckling tendencies of the hull.

Moreover, all Marell interceptors have a very competitive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), as they are equipped with industry leading fuel-efficient solutions, designed to minimize maintenance and service costs combined with an engineering and quality approach to extend the life cycle.

The vessel is built to meet classification requirements from Lloyds Register Grey boat code and with design assessment in accordance to Lloyds Register + 100A1 SSC Patrol HSC G2.

The main vessel dimensions include the following:

• LOA (incl. engines and fender) 15.46 m
• BOA (incl. fender) 4.18 m
• Depth deck to keel at midship 1.50 m
• Depth deck at foredeck 2.43 m
• Draught max. (approximately) 1.00 m

All Marell vessels are fabricated in jigs for best quality and straightness. The jig frames forming the hull shape are precision cut with the same water jet cutting method as for the hull material. This precision work is thoroughly measured to be within the tight building tolerances. Also, cut outs for the lifting strakes are made in the jig frames with the precision cutting machine, making the jig a base for a very accurate hull production of the bottom and sides of the craft with possibility to build a number of hulls in same jig to identical dimensions and kept within very small tolerances.

The deck girder structure of the Marell crafts are designed to carry sandwich composite deck panels, which are glued to the girder structure. This forms a strong and watertight bonding and the deck panels themselves are acting as insulation against excess heat (from sun) and reduces the deformation of the hull in really hot deck temperature as the panels will absorb any elongation of the aluminum plating. By this method the M15 will be very suitable to work across all climate zones with great variations in air temperature and solar radiation.

The canopy is made of vacuum moulded GRP, to reduce weight and noise and isolate the crew area from the effects from both cold spells and burning sun. The novelty of this design approach makes the M15 craft suitable for both arctic and tropical conditions within the standard hull specification.

At present a third Marell M15 Closed Cabin Interceptor is being built and tested, for speeds above 50 knots and with a walk around closed cabin. More information about this unique vessel with state-of-the-art stern drive propulsion systems and Humphree interceptors will come later this year.

“Naiad boats are the playthings of billionaire sheiks and sultans, and workhorses for the likes of the Tactical Response Group, Fisheries and remote wilderness tour operators. None of these are the kind of customers you want a call from in the dark of night saying something on the boat has gone wrong. Thankfully, boat builder Rob Kirby from Kirby Marine in Western Australia knows his craft. “

We’re now sitting dockside admiring a 10m console model called Scem. For boat lovers, this baby possesses an enticing set of numbers — 23 degrees at the bum, 10m long with twin Yamaha 425 XTO outboards. Before we straddle the Ullman shock-absorbing seat, we ask Rob what we should expect from a high-powered, deep-vee, collared-boat. (At this point, The Captain is attempting to look adult-responsible, but secretly is waiting for Rob to turn a blind eye so he can make a hasty exit to Rottnest Island and wrestle one of those cute and furry quokkas away for Mrs Captain.) “We looked at making the ride a lot more comfortable and I’m a big fan of Ullman shock-mitigating seats,” Rob says. “They improve any boat and we’ve made them standard. They give me the ability to drive the boat like I stole it and anybody should be able to do that. Getting a 10-tonne boat airborne is an addictive thing and it puts a smile on your dial when you come back down and everyone wonders why there is no big crash when we hit the water.”

Palfinger is well know in the industry for the supply of it’s deck-equipment to the highest demanding operations in the Offshore and oil & Gas industry. The free fall systems (boats & davit systems) needs to comply to the highest SOLAS regulations and classification rules.

Since many years we have a high focus on the Governmental segments; Navy & Coast Guard, Marine Police , where we have supplied many different types of boats, davit and stern-entry systems. With this wide proven tracking history we have decided 3 years ago to focus more on Search & Rescue and Fire Fighting applications and have designed, built, delivered and a good order intake on the multi-purpose solution we have developed. Resulting in our Rescue and Fire Fighting range with high attention to our FRSQ 850 A TID FIFI model.

The FRSQ 850 A TID FIFI model is designed to use the boat for multiple operations. It is a fast response boat which can go up to 40 knots. With the smart deck arrangement, as per SOLAS, we can lash 2 stretchers on deck and have place for 21 persons in total (incl. crew). In addition to that we have been able to fix 3 pcs. Additional life-rafts which can be used in rescue/emergency operations to safe 28 pers. Additionally (Air-plane crash, area’s which are difficult to reach by truck). The fully electronically controlled Fire-Fighting installation from the console can do 1800 l/pm with a throwing distance >38m and reach a water pressure >9 bar can easily support up-front the bigger fire-fighting boats due to the high speeds the boat does reach (40 KN). In order to give the operating crew the most ergonomic, safety and comfort, while operation our fast response boats, we have chosen to use the high quality shock mitigation seats from Ullman.

It’s always a pleasure to see our products being part of retrofit projects!  

This Midnight Express has received many new upgrades, such as new engines, electronics and seating. It will soon be in service with the Special Operations Unit for the Hellenic Coast Guard in Greece!🇬🇷

This Midnight Express 37 will receive our comfortable Patrol seats for four crew. For the helm seat, a slider is fitted to allow best configuration. Each seat has foldable footrests. Our foldable footrests allow support for operators who are of different heights.

We believe in advanced simplicity to solve problems such as operators of different heights. Solutions that will always work and can never be “set up” in the wrong way. Too many adjustable variables have proven to expose the operator to more injuries rather than offering enhanced protection.

We are excited to start the new year with a visit to the bespoke show “boot Düsseldorf”. A great way to discover some of the latest platforms and trends in the marine industry.

We will be visiting the show next week Monday 20 – Wednesday 22.
