RECENT BUILDS IN THIS CLASS:

9M CSB MV DIRAC

Aluminium Marine Consultants (AMC) is proud to unveil the MV Dirac, a 9-meter vessel built in collaboration with Ecomar Propulsion Ltd. Based on a NATO Combat Ready Boat, the MV Dirac has been radically redesigned internally to accommodate its innovative hydrogen-electric propulsion system.

Powered by two 250kW Ecomar Kairos motors and a 180kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the vessel also features a hydrogen fuel cell that significantly extends its operational range. Hydrogen is stored in hand-portable BOC Genie cylinders, which can be easily replaced onboard, enabling flexible recharging without specialized infrastructure.

This cutting-edge design demonstrates AMC's expertise in bespoke vessel construction and commitment to sustainable maritime innovation.

USV MAXLIMER

SEA-KIT's vessel, the Maxlimer, recently won the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE competition, working in conjunction with a Kongsberg HUGIN autonomous underwater vehicle. The competition required contestants to carry out high-res autonomous mapping at depths of up to 2000 meters without significant human guidance, and Maxlimer led the field.

It is the first truly Long-Range, Long-Endurance, Ocean capable Unmanned Autonomous Vessel with a range of over 10,000 nautical miles and an endurance that can be measured in months rather than days. AMC are proud to of been involved with the fabrication of this ground-breaking vessel.

CCGs Mamilossa - largest hovercraft exported by a UK boat builder

The Canadian Coastguard Mamilossa is a highly versatile vessel, based at CCG Hovercraft Base Trois-Rivières, QC, and is regularly assigned to search and rescue operations. It is the newest in the CCG's fleet and their first built in the UK.

Throughout Eastern Canada it is called upon to clear ice jams from rivers and areas that are hard to reach with conventional icebreakers. Mamilossa's versatility means she can be called upon to lay, service and recover buoys and support navigation aid construction and maintenance operations.

Equipped with a removable crane capable of lifting up to 6,600 kg, Mamilossa offers a 23,000 kg payload, enabling it to transport any combination of cargo and passengers.

Mamilossa also offers the capability to load vehicles directly on deck via a bow ramp which makes the vessel particularly effective on environmental response.
