01/What this changes

One Hull. Multiple Harbour Roles.

Ports and harbour authorities typically run pilot boats, mooring boats, and inspection workboats as separate single-purpose platforms. Cross Water Modular is designed to consolidate harbour roles onto one configurable hull. Pilot transfer in the morning, mooring work after lunch, quay inspection on Wednesday — one boat, reconfigured in minutes.

02/Who it serves

03/Mission capabilities

Configurable for Harbour Roles.

Configured module sets for each capability area are built to the operator's mission profile at quotation stage.

04/The platform

Built for Port Duty.

The RIB 750 (7.7 m, Cat C/B) is a typical pilot boat size — fast, manoeuvrable, and predictable alongside. The RIB 650 suits compact port environments. The XW 540 A monohull suits single-operator harbour work in protected waters. Marine-grade aluminium hull, 25+ year service life, self-draining seawater channels, pitch and roll assistance interceptors.

Manned performance now. Autonomy-ready by design. Port inspection and routine patrol accept autonomous payloads as an upgrade path.
