Made for high speed operations, the 5216-RCM serves as a highly maneuverable platform. Triple waterjets provide a shallow draft underway, and the wide hydraulic ramp design allows for vehicle loading directly on and off the vessel from the shoreline. Designed to serve between multiple islands in unprotected water, low gunnels ease hauling cargo over the side, as large freeing ports keep water out. The offset pilot house maximizes available deck space, granting this vessel the ability to transport greater payload in less trips.
