15m Fireboat High-Speed Multi-Role Fire and Security Vessel Built for speed, strength, and mission versatility, the 15m Fireboat from Holyhead Marine is a state-of-the-art maritime platform engineered to perform in the most challenging operational environments. Designed to meet the demands of modern fire and rescue services, security forces, and military applications, this vessel delivers unmatched power, precision handling, and configurable capability. Superior Marine Engineering Every element of the 15m Fireboat is crafted to ensure maximum performance and durability: Hull Construction: Robust aluminium hull structure built in accordance with MCA SCV Code of Practice and designed to Lloyd’s Register SSC rules for superior strength and corrosion resistance. Propulsion: Twin Scania DI16 engines delivering 900 BHP each at 2300 RPM, paired with ZF 500 gearboxes and Kongsberg S36-3/CA waterjets. Speed: Capable of achieving up to 44 knots, ensuring rapid deployment and fast response times. The combination of waterjet propulsion and precision gearbox integration offers outstanding maneuverability and shallow-draft operation — critical advantages in nearshore firefighting, rapid interception, or tactical response scenarios.

Tactical and Mission-Ready Capability The 15m Fireboat is designed for multipurpose deployment, from firefighting to troop transport and maritime security patrols. Payload: Supports a total operational payload of up to 2,100 kg, combining personnel, weapons, and mission-critical equipment. Crew and Troops: Spacious deck layout accommodates up to 14 fully equipped troops or response personnel. Seating and Layout: Removable seating and fairings allow for quick configuration changes, enabling seamless transition between troop transport, rescue, or fire support roles. Armament Options: Equipped with a forward pedestal for single or twin GPMGs, with optional Fire Support Platform (FSB) including armour and weapon mountings for enhanced operational readiness. This adaptable design ensures the vessel can be rapidly reconfigured for diverse mission profiles, from fast assault operations to disaster relief support. Integrated Systems and Onboard Equipment The 15m Fireboat comes fully equipped with modern marine electronics and offers an array of optional systems to suit any operational requirement. Standard Equipment Navigation: Advanced chart plotter with DGPS for precise positioning Communications: Marine VHF system for reliable ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore contact Electrical System: 24V DC insulated return system for safe, efficient power distribution Optional Upgrades Military-grade communications package Infrared floodlight and visible/IR convoy lights for covert operations Radar reflector and intercom system for enhanced situational awareness Dyneema ballistic protection system for critical mission security Boat cover, launching trolley, and shipping cradle EU-compliant road trailer for overland transport Firefighting Capability and Safety Features While capable of tactical deployment, the 15m Fireboat is engineered primarily for fire support, providing the speed, reach, and stability needed to respond to marine fire emergencies with precision. Elastomer-covered closed-cell PU foam fender for enhanced impact protection Forward deck space designed for the integration of firefighting systems and equipment Generous fuel capacity: Main Fuel Tank: 800 litres Reserve Fuel Tank: 150 litres These features combine to create a vessel that is rugged, resilient, and fully prepared to operate safely in hazardous environments. Certified Quality and Proven Expertise Built by Holyhead Marine Services Ltd, a trusted name in advanced maritime construction, the 15m Fireboat is backed by decades of shipbuilding experience and strict adherence to international standards. Designed to LRS SSC structural rules Constructed in accordance with the MCA Small Commercial Vessel (SCV) Code of Practice Supported by full aftersales service, training, and optional customisation packages Power, Speed, Protection, Performance The 15m Fireboat is more than a vessel — it is a mission-ready platform designed for critical operations where reliability and speed can save lives.
