Keeping cable lays safe
Inshore commercial marine works face the risk of unintentional interference from leisure craft. Leisure craft will often sail in close proximity to working ships, cable layers and dredgers, unaware of the risk of cable or chain strikes. Commercial Rib Charter has significant experience in providing effective guard boat patrol services to safeguard against disruption and danger.

The right patrol boats for the job
We usually operate at least one cabin Rib giving 24 hour support in a vessel clearly marked as a patrol boat and equipped with radar, class ‘A’ AIS, blue lights, siren and loudhailer. We often augment this patrol vessel with fast open Ribs during daylight hours, according to the risk profile of the operating area.
The right crew for the job
Our particular expertise is having the right crew to do the job effectively without causing problems. We are courteous and helpful in ensuring that boats are guided safely and quickly away from the danger zone. Boats feel that they have been well handled; as a result we receive great feedback from operators, harbour authorities, the coastguard and the leisure traffic we have assisted.
