Production of 11m GRP hulls forming the main body structure of amphibious passenger vehicles, with full bonding of steel chassis, deck, wheelhouse, and hatches. Built to Lloyds Register and RINA standards, with a dedicated production line enabling a consistent 2-vessel-per-month rate. 10+ vessels completed, with the programme ongoing.

The Challenge
Amphibious vehicles demand a hull that performs on both land and water, which means every structural bond between the GRP hull and the steel chassis has to hold to a different standard than a conventional marine hull. Hitting a 2-vessel-per-month rate while maintaining that structural consistency required a dedicated mould setup rather than a shared production line.
