Modular Response Boats for Maritime Emergency Operations

An aluminium platform configurable for maritime incident response, harbour emergency operations, command and coordination, and specialist response logistics. Designed for rapid deployment and 24/7 duty.

01/What this changes

Respond. Coordinate. Support. One Platform.

Maritime emergency response covers a wide task range — incident response, SAR support, command coordination, logistics, specialist team carriage. Cross Water Modular is designed to consolidate those roles onto one configurable hull. The platform reconfigures around the incident type in minutes. Fewer purpose-built boats, faster response, lower lifecycle cost.

04/The platform

Built for Rapid Response.

The RIB 750 (7.7 m, Cat C/B, up to 52 knots, 2.1 m deflated beam) enables rapid harbour and coastal response with container-compatible transport. The RIB 950 (Cat B) extends capability to offshore response. The XW 850 W monohull (14 persons) suits command and team-carriage roles with greater interior volume. The RIB 1150 (Cat B/A) covers offshore incident response.

Manned performance now. Autonomy-ready by design. Incident assessment and monitoring accept autonomous payloads as an upgrade path.
