Jet power for 48 US Navy RIBs

2020-07-07T10:32:00+01:00

New Zealand-headquartered jet drive manufacturer HamiltonJet will collaborate with rigid inflatable boat manufacturer Ribcraft to supply 48 Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) to the US Navy.

Ribcraft USA, LLC of Marblehead, Massachusetts, was recently awarded a 5-year contract to deliver the RIBs custom-fitted for use in Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD). The 11-metre vessels will be equipped with twin HJ292 waterjets, blue Arrow control systems, and JETanchor technology from HamiltonJet. The contract also requires extensive spare parts and training to be delivered by HamiltonJet.

A critical component of the Expeditionary Mine Countermeasures Company, the new RIBs will support EOD mine countermeasure platoons in both shallow and deep-water operations. HamiltonJet technology was chosen due to ease of operation of blue Arrow controls, and the effectiveness of the JETanchor system for station keeping.
