The Combat Support Boat performs tasks normally carried out by bigger vessels, but has the advantage of being air transportable and easily deployed anywhere in the world.
It is in service with the British Army and international armed forces. Its agile design allows it to fulfill a variety of roles, such as bridge building, high speed landing, long range transits, passenger ferry and equipment mobilisation.
The low draft hull form, high payload carrying capability and machinery arrangement make it the most versatile workboat in its class.
It is fitted with an elevated bridge for improved visibility and has several modular cabin and deck fit-out options to suit operators’ requirements. Options range from a basic cabin for helmsman and crew, to a comprehensive fit-out including galley, toilet, shower, dayroom and sleeping accommodation with heating and air conditioning.
