LC800 Launched and tested

PDL Marine launch a second landing craft for the River Thames and Livetts launches.

PDL Marine are proud to launch and complete the trials for the LC800. An excellent vessel, twin OXE150 diesel outboards pushing the boat to 30 knots, the turning circle is awesome. This will be our second Landing craft operating on the river Thames and IMO Tier III Compliant.

Rather than us talking the boat up, this is what the new owner @livettsgroup had to say:
“Your attention to detail and fit out is very good and i am extremely pleased with the finished product. She will join the stables of Bravo Lima and together make an excellent pair of professionally built, well thought out and very durable craft. “

For more information on our wide range of landing craft and workboats, drop us a line to discuss.

Press release: 15m Amphibian

While the 12m is an amazing vessel, (available with most engine choices including outboards), we were receiving requests for a bigger craft that could carry significantly larger loads and of course a vessel for larger commercial projects says Philip Lovegrove, managing director of PDL Marine limited.

The 15m Amphibian certainly does that. The larger vessel can carry loads up to 11 tons on deck when in the standard mode but can also carry 7 tons when in ‘wheeled’ mode, this includes carrying up to 12 personnel and 2 crew, a Hiab and winch. The vessel also has a welfare / large aft cabin area with a toilet and galley with a raised wheelhouse so the helm can see over containers should they be on deck. A well thought out design with the retractable wheels, allowing the vessel to go most places a standard landing craft cannot.

Ideal for operating in shallow or drying out areas where access is limited due to tidal constraints.

The newer model can also be certified to MCA category 2 for operations up to 60 miles from a safe haven, so it is a ‘go anywhere’ type of vessel and has the option to change the wheelhouse layout to suit specific requirements.

The Amphibian can be fitted with a wide array of engine choices, whether it be petrol or Diesel outboards, IMO tier III inboard engines and can sustain speeds up to 28 /30 knots.

A fantastic vessel indeed. For more information, please drop a line to PDL Marine ltd on +44(0)2394 004832 or email sales@pdlmarine.com
