RIBs & High Speed Craft
Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats are known as RHIBs in the US or as RIBs worldwide. The main characteristic is an inflatable collar attached to a GRP, FRP, composite or aluminium hull. High Speed Craft (HSC) can refer to planing craft including Foam Collar Craft, Fast Landing Craft, Interceptors, Pilot Boats and Patrol Craft.
The Challenges
The evolving challenges for RIB & High Speed Craft operators worldwide include faster craft, increased time on the water and changing operational requirements. A major challenge for the builders of next generation high speed craft is delivering platforms that balance high performance with the physical demands on crew and passengers.
