How workboats with a wide ramp facilitate the daily delivery and technical maintenance of the platforms.
Setting up a luxury floating facility, such as beach bar or a residence in an isolated bay, is a brilliant business move. But true autonomy beyond the reach of land-based infrastructure requires impeccable logistics. How will you deliver hundreds of liters of fresh water, food and drinks every day, while also safely and environmentally removing municipal waste and black and grey water?
Classic speedboats and inflatable boats are completely useless here. The solution lies in specialized workboats designed exclusively for heavy loads and inaccessible terrain – Landing Craft ships.
As part of our floating facility ecosystem, we have developed a state-of-the-art multi-purpose work vessel that represents the ultimate support for your business on the water.
1. HDPE robustness: Bulletproof hull measuring 9×3 meters
A workboat should not be susceptible to scratches. Forget about fiberglass that cracks with every hard hit on the quay. Our Landing Craft is built from the same, indestructible material as the base of our platforms – high-density polyethylene (HDPE) 20 mm thick.
With impressive dimensions of 9 meters in length and 3 meters in width, this boat offers a massive, flat working deck. The material is resistant to mechanical shocks, does not require antifouling coatings and perfectly absorbs pressure when approaching floating objects, concrete piers or even directly running aground on sandy and pebble beaches.
2. 3 ton load capacity and bow ramp
What sets the Landing Craft apart from all other vessels is its characteristic drop-down bow ramp. This "Ro-Ro" (Roll-on/Roll-off) system allows the ship to dock directly next to your platform or shore and lower the ramp.
S with a load capacity of up to 3 tons, heavy pallets of drinks can be loaded onto the deck without any problems beach bar, building materials, waste containers, and even smaller vehicles or machinery. Loading and unloading is done over a flat surface, using manual forklifts or carts, which drastically speeds up the process and reduces the physical effort of the crew.
3. Mobile utility service: Water management
True "off-grid" floating objects function as closed systems (without discharge of wastewater into the sea). Landing Craft serves as your private utility.
The vessel can be equipped with dedicated modular tanks and powerful pumps. During regular visits, the work vessel docks alongside the platform and pumps out the black and grey water tanks via quick couplers, while simultaneously refilling the fresh technical water tanks. This process is fast, clean and does not disturb the guests enjoying the platform.
4. Powerful hydraulics and propulsion for difficult tasks
A heavily loaded vessel requires enormous torque, especially when maneuvering in narrow bays or in strong winds. Unlike standard outboard motors that lose efficiency under heavy loads, our workboats are designed for heavy industry.
By using advanced hydraulic drive systems (like the integration of powerful 6-cylinder diesel engines paired with dual high-flow hydraulic pumps), the Landing Craft gains unparalleled propulsive power and maneuverability. This type of drive ensures maximum thrust (thrust) at low revs, which is crucial for towing modular platforms or positioning heavy loads to exact GPS coordinates.
Round out your business system
Buying a floating facility without an adequate working vessel is like buying a luxury hotel without an access road. Our 9-meter HDPE Landing Craft is an indispensable tool that makes your offshore business sustainable, independent and highly profitable.
