The Royal Navy launched the first crew-less P24 RIB at Trafalgar Wharf, Portsmouth, for general duties in June 2020. The high-performance shock-absorbing seats reduce crew fatigue. It also supports coast guard operations and has the ability to carry different loads, including stretcher patients or a different number of passengers by removing seats.Ī ground plate can be installed for the radio communications system. The boat has the maximum capacity to accommodate six passengers and two crew members. It also offers extra safety to the occupants by complying with rigorous safety of life at sea (SOLAS) testing procedures, including drops, slams and self-righting trials. The Mark-4 version of P24 RIB is integrated with advanced shock mitigation and propulsion systems. The navigation and communications suite on board the boat includes marine VHF, coastguard radio with DSC module, navigation lights, magnetic compass, shore supply socket on engine box. The boat has an inflatable collar built from a 1,200g/m neoprene composite tube and is fitted with solid neoprene cladding, stowage pouches, lifelines, paddle stowage, single-point lifting hook, reflective patches and bow towing eye. The 7.8m-long P24 RIB is fitted with a control console housing instrument panel, emergency engine kill switch, electrical systems, navigation equipment and steering wheel.
