Diverse Marine and SAFE Boats International sign International Sales Representative Agreement for the UK

Feb 24, 2019

Diverse Marine & SAFE Boats International are proud to announce that they have agreed terms to represent the Bremerton, Washington State, USA based company’s world renowned product portfolio in the United Kingdom.

SAFE Boats International (SAFE) is an American-owned aluminium boat manufacturer and leading supplier to military, state and local law enforcement, fire and rescue agencies throughout North America and around the world. SAFE are a global leader in providing the most reliable and effective boat platform systems and solutions to defence, security and first responder customers to accomplish their missions and operational profiles.

With a portfolio of designs from 7m centre console open workboats to 26m naval patrol boats, SAFE have proven design concepts and engineering innovations inspired by lessons learned in thousands of real world, combat, law enforcement and first-responder operations. The range includes full cabin and walk around cabin multi-mission interceptors and riverine patrol boats, with propulsion options that include both outboard and inboard waterjet systems. SAFE and Diverse Marine share a solution focused mindset to deliver the best possible solution for all clients.

SAFE vessels have been designed specifically for the challenging and diverse environments encountered by their users, proven by the fact that these craft have over 5 million operating hours without a significant hull failure, a benefit of their aluminium construction.

SAFE vessel designs feature high-performance aluminium hulls in a virtually unsinkable platform. Working under a set of exclusive patents and licenses allows only SAFE to utilise a full-sized foam collar system for flotation, stability and fendering - far more durable than an air collar or RIB system.

Ben Colman, Director at Diverse Marine: “From the outset Diverse Marine have strived to work with the very best naval architects, so we are delighted to have reached this agreement for the UK with SAFE Boats International. With over 2,100 SAFE boats in service in over 70 countries worldwide, we are confident that this diverse range of innovative designs will be of particular interest to many UK markets.”

“We are excited to partner with Diverse Marine on UK projects. The missions and cultures of both companies seamlessly align, making for a natural fit. We are impressed by Diverse’s high standards for quality and attention to detail and look forward to working with their team to bring SAFE Boats products to the UK market ”, said Rob Goley, SAFE Boats Director of Business Development for Europe.

Diverse Marine can offer this portfolio of COTS (Commercial of the Shelf) and MOTS (Military of the Shelf) to UK government, military, commercial and leisure users and welcomes the opportunity to discuss any opportunity or requirement.

The Storm Class measures 27.6m LOA by 10m BOA and is fitted with a quad IMO Tier-3 Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system. Its unique hull form features a very fine entry with higher buoyancy reserves above the main chines and resistance reducingsolutions integrated into the underbody. A resilient superstructure ensures very low noise and vibration levels in the passenger saloon with the first recording sub 55dBA at full power. NR ALPHA is the first vessel from the Diverse Marine Finance and Lease Programme announced late last year and the first of three vessels being delivered to the scheme this year. The programme allows Diverse Marine to build offshore wind crew transfer vessels to stock for onward lease or sale. The scheme removes the requirement for clients to source construction finance and Diverse Marine can offer the vessels on lease/hire purchase with 0% deposit, a fully funded solution with payments monthly in arrears. Ben Colman, Director of Diverse Marine:“We are delighted to announce the build of NR ALPHA for NR Marine Services.Theperformance of NR PREDATOR has exceeded everybody’s expectations with exceptionally good performance, fuel efficiency and reliability, a testament to the high quality produced by our team at Cowes”. Owen Nutt, Director of NR Marine Services: “The addition of NR ALPHA to our fleet so soon after NR PREDATOR is testament to the growth and forward plans set out by our business to add high quality, high performance and efficient vessels to our fleet. Diverse Marine’s Storm Class is the result of the KPI’s we provided to Walker Marine Design and the ship yard. With NR PREDATOR all of these KPI’s were met with the vessel proving to be faster and more efficient that predicted. We are very pleased and excited that we can add NR ALPHA to the fleet and provide our clients with class leading vessels that can save £100,000’s of fuel cost annually without any compromise”.
