RIB Applications / Emergency Services

Humber Ribs are world renowned Rigid Inflatable Boat manufacturers who have been at the forefront of designing, developing and producing vessels since 1965 supplying vessels to police forces worldwide and other leading professional organisations.

Each of the Humber police patrol and counter terrorism ribs have been designed specifically for application in their special operations. Since we design and manufacture all our boats in our UK factory, we work with our clients and modify every element of our craft at the design process, to ensure that each vessel is suited to their unique requirements.

Each RIB we build offers rough sea capabilities due to the design of our unique high performance hulls allowing all Police and Patrol vessels to perform in the heaviest of seas while allowing the crew to remain dry and comfortable. The manoeuvrability of the Humber hull allows precise controlled handling so that crews can operate reliably and effectively in hostile maritime environments.

Our craft have been proven by a wide ranging clientele including the British Antarctic Survey, Fire and Rescue organisations, Police Forces, UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), Meggitt Defence and hundreds of other professional organisations. The versatility and sea keeping ability of our craft are optimised to suit the requirements of the demanding specialist sector have only strengthened our position as the professional’s choice. A long service life is designed into the craft along with safety and a high degree of stability.
