RHIB & mission-specific craft

Speed, safety and assistance for maritime operations

Versatile platforms for a wide range of maritime missions

Agile craft for assistance and intervention missions

TLT Marine & Services, through its UFAST naval shipyard, designs RHIBs (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats) and specialised craft to meet the needs of security forces, maritime administrations, coast guards and rescue services.

Versatile, fast and robust, these platforms form a proven operational range dedicated to surveillance, search and rescue, logistics support and medical transport missions.

Their semi-rigid architecture combines deep-V hulls, reinforced peripheral protection and composite or aluminium structures, ensuring speed, stability and crew safety in all sea conditions.

A coherent range from 7 to 14 metres
