Design Criteria

Safety

80% of vessels that sank around the British coast line in the last 5 years would not have done so had they had adequate bilge pumps. We have 8 commercial bilge pumps each capable of pumping 15,000 litres per hour continuously. There is also a hydraulically driven fire pump on board capable of pumping 500,000 litres per hour.

The hull is constructed from 10mm thick steel, all doors are fully watertight, and a watertight hatch in the main deck prevents down flooding of the lower deck.

Most significantly, our well designed deep displacement hull with a low centre of gravity minimises the prospect of a knock down even in the harshest conditions.
