The 19-ft. by 10-ft. (5.8-m by 3.05-m) boat is a versatile platform which can operate in as little as 18 in. of water. Mission requirements emphasize rescue ca- pabilities, and therefore design details focus on dive and recovery operations. Details include an open transom with dive platform and ladder, diver towing hardware and tank stowage. Diver safety is enhanced further by the jetdrive. The propulsion package, a Marine Power 454-cu.-in., fuel-injected engine driving a Hamilton Jet model 273, produces top speeds of 30 - 35 mph. Firefighting capability is provided by a remov- able Hale HP 400 fire pump with built-in thru- hull suction.

(126-m) RoRo trailer vessel, iden- tical to one previously ordered by the same company. The delivery of the new vessel is slated for March 1996, while the vessel presently under construction will be delivered in May 1995. According to Royal Schelde, the order con- firms the company's re-entry into merchant ship- building after many years of naval shipbuilding. The company will celebrate its 120th anniver- sary in shipbuilding in 1995 and continues to be active in merchant, naval and high-speed vessel construction.
