S-Ribs Custom Boatbuilding Company has finished the trials of the first boat of "SWR-120" project and is glad to have an opportunity to offer this product worldwide. SWR-120 is a 12m multi-purpose, heavy-duty, high-speed planning boat for operation in costal sea areas, in open sea as a daughtercraft and in lakes and rivers in almost any climate zone. Depending on the equipment installed, the boat can be customized as Search and Rescue, Patrol, Work, Pilot, Crewtender, Diving support, Hydrographic survey or a Daughter craft. It is designed for commercial use from scratch with all its structures, systems and equipment to stand thousands of hours of heavy-duty, cost-effective operation. The superstructure of "SWR-120" is made of a light-weight composite sandwich with carbon reinforcements. The hull is constructed of marine grade aluminum alloys, which is a planning/deep V hull with an excellent wave-piercing capabilities, while its prismatic shape provides an additional stability for the work purposes and moving the cargo around the deck. The boat is designed self-righting, what means that in case of a capsize, it returns to the upright position. Structures and systems of the boat are designed to meet ISO Small Craft certification (CE A Category) and HSC class Rules of most of the common Classification Societies. The first boat built (and recently tested) was ordered as a custom multi-purpose vessel, to perform the SAR, Crewtender, Work, Diving support and Environmental protection operations on the sea. GMDSS equipment for zone A2 was ordered as well, to let the boat serve up to 200 nm far away from the shore. Its brief specifications are given below.
