Commercial Work & Passenger Boats
Marine Services offers a fleet of rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) and crew transfer vessels—all Marine Survey Office–licensed and crewed by Department of Marine–certified skippers—available for hire throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our versatile workboats deliver turnkey solutions for survey work, quay-wall inspections, dive platforms, safety cover, equipment transport, and more.
Workboat Hire & Configurations
Our P4 and P6 class workboats are engineered for industrial marine tasks. The compact P4 vessels excel at quay-wall cleaning and mooring maintenance, while our larger P6 RIBs feature removable seating to create expansive deck space—perfect for dive operations, survey platforms, or heavy-equipment transfers. Every vessel comes fully crewed, ensuring smooth operations and compliance with commercial maritime standards.
Passenger RIBs & Crew Transfers
For efficient crew transfer services, our 10 m passenger RIBs accommodate up to 12 passengers with rapid embarkation systems and safety railings. Whether shuttling film crews to offshore sets, moving survey teams, or transporting personnel to worksites, you can rely on our licensed vessels for punctual, secure transfers—on rivers, lakes, or open sea.
Electric Propulsion Options
Through our partnership with ePropulsion, we can outfit any workboat with electric propulsion, delivering zero-emission operation for environmentally sensitive areas. Our 96 V and 400 V electric drives reduce noise and eliminate fuel fumes—ideal for inland waterways, protected zones, or eco-tourism applications.
Safety & Compliance
All vessels carry SOLAS-approved lifejackets, logged in our safety-asset management system, and include HSA-approved safety cover on request. We prepare comprehensive risk assessments and method statements to satisfy Harbour Authority, County Council, and Marine Survey Office regulations.
