Seamaster
S2 Amphibious vehicles are a series of multi-role vehicles utilizing
a strong base vehicle coupled with interchangeable specialist
modules enabling them to perform in a wide range of applications:
- Passenger Carrying
- Cargo & Vehicle Transportation
- Fire Fighting
- Oil Spill Response
- Field Hospital
- Rescue & Evacuation
Reliability, self-sufficiency and adaptability have been retained
by using a simple and robust design
allowing the vehicles to be maintained
easily with readily available spares.
With a length of 10.0m, beam of 3.6m and capacity for over 40
passengers or 6,000 kg of cargo the Seamaster is truly a capable
machine.
The original Seamaster is in service ferrying up to 46 passengers
to& from a small island off the Cornish coast in England.
The owners here required the Seamaster to be a lifeline to
the main land even when their fleet of smaller passenger boats
were unable to put to sea. The final specification included twin
engines, two hydraulic lift stairways and a disabled person's
lift that doubles as a cargo loading platform. |
