SKYDEX - Impact Mitigating Decking on Silver Ships Riverine Patrol Boat

25.03.2021

The Riverine Patrol Boat is an extremely rugged center console vessel. Designed to carry 20 personnel, the RPB typically has a crew of 6 plus 14 troops and cargo. Powered by twin Yanmar 440 HP engines and water jets, these 40 foot craft are both armed and armoured. RPBs support multi-mission operations in inland waters and rivers as well as coastal areas. Along with military and law enforcement, RPBs can also be used for search & rescue duties, medical evacuation and humanitarian assistance.

Silver Ships has maintained a consistent commitment to excellence by providing highly durable aluminium workboats to the U.S. and foreign militaries for more than two decades. Shawn Lobree, Federal Contracts Manager said, 'Silver Ships has partnered with SKYDEX to provide extremely rugged, high-quality shock mitigating decking to the Naval Special Warfare Community since 2014. SKYDEX decking has proven to be highly reliable with outstanding UV resistance and non-skid design. It is easy to clean and holds up well under heavy use.'
