Work & Transport
Aluminium workboats for cargo transport, crew transfer, oil spill recovery, and daily utility operations. Built for reliable year-round service in demanding professional environments.
Mission Overview
Operational Context
Work and transport operations place a premium on load capacity, deck access, and operational reliability. Whether moving personnel across a lake system, recovering oil from a harbour basin, or supplying equipment to a remote location, the vessel must perform consistently and require minimal downtime.
Faster workboats serve forestry departments, port authorities, environmental response teams, industrial operators, and municipal services. Typical assignments include crew and cargo transfer, oil spill recovery, diving support, equipment transport, and general utility operations on inland waterways and sheltered coastal areas.
The bow ramp — standard across the Faster range — allows direct loading and unloading without fixed dock infrastructure. Combined with the mounting rail system, a single vessel can be reconfigured between transport, recovery, and support roles in minutes.

Capabilities
Key Capabilities
High Load Capacity
Professional use ratings of up to 10 persons + 1,000 kg. Large foredeck areas handle bulky equipment, cargo pallets, and ATV transport via the standard bow ramp.
Bow Ramp Access
The standard bow ramp enables direct loading and unloading at any shoreline — no fixed dock or ramp infrastructure required. Ramp opening widths up to 1.50 m accommodate large cargo items and equipment.
Oil Spill Recovery
Catamaran platforms can be equipped with bow collectors or side collectors for oil spill recovery in harbours, coastal inlets, and confined waterways. The wide, stable deck provides working space for recovery operations.
Mission Reconfiguration
Integrated mounting rail system on all models allows rapid changeover between cargo transport, personnel transfer, oil recovery, and diving support roles — without tools or specialist intervention.
All-Weather Reliability
Enclosed cabin models provide year-round operational capability regardless of weather conditions. Marine-grade aluminium construction requires minimal maintenance and supports continuous operational readiness.
Shallow Water Access
Shallow-draft V Series hulls operate in restricted inland waterways and areas inaccessible to conventional workboats — extending the operational reach of forestry, municipal, and environmental response teams.
