An ASIS Boat For Coastal Fisheries

Coastal fisheries are becoming increasingly important in the Marshall Islands. Most of the Marshall islands land is a few meters above sea level and soils are generally poor. Hence coastal fisheries are very important for subsistence purpose and for income generation.

Fisheries are regulated, promoted and managed by the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority (MIMRA) that has placed an order of two 7m ASIS Aluminum RIBs to be used on the development, implementation and sustainability of the marine resources for future generations.

The hulls of the 2 new RHIBs are made of Marine Grade Aluminum and feature a 1880 Dtex hypalon Hyb Foam® tube: an exclusive ASIS hybrid tube made of a combination of closed cells memory foam and air. These two heavy duty RHIBs were constructed specifically for Coastal Fisheries.

Special Features on these two RIB boats are:

• An Aluminum Protective Bow Encapsulation to protect and safeguard the boat’s bow against collision/bumping with harbors and other larger boats.
• A Black Powder-coated Forward Deck-mounted boarding ladder with hand railing for safety
• An Aluminum T-Top providing standing-height shade while allowing the helmsman to walk freely
• Two ASIS Triple jockey seats
• A telescopic Stainless Steel Towing post situated at the bow, below the boarding platform, easily deployable whenever needed. A second stainless steel tow post is installed at the aft.

Each of these Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats has a marine grade aluminum fuel tank with capacity of 150L, and is powered by a single Yamaha 150Hp outboard engine allowing the boat for coastal fisheries to reach a top speed of 40 miles at 500 RPM.
