Durable HDPE hulls for harsh marine conditions
Our workboats feature high-density polyethylene hulls engineered to withstand heavy impacts, abrasion, and corrosion, even in the toughest environments. This durability ensures a longer vessel lifespan, and reduces downtime and maintenance costs for your operations.
Versatile models tailored to your needs
From patrol and harbour support to diving and survey operations, our range of HDPE workboats is designed to meet diverse mission requirements. Customisable features and modular designs ensure you get the perfect vessel to meet your specific needs.
Low maintenance, maximum operational time
HDPE workboats require minimal upkeep compared to traditional materials, resisting rust, rot, and marine growth. This means more time on the water and less time on repairs, making your fleet more efficient and cost-effective for the long term.
Sustainability at the core of our vessels
Built from recyclable materials and designed for longevity, our workboats promote environmental responsibility. Choosing HDPE vessels helps reduce your carbon footprint without sacrificing performance, aligning with modern sustainability goals.
