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.
