Project HYBRHIB (Hybrid Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat)

Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats (RHIB) are one of the most versatile Inshore boats. These are the vessel of choice for law enforcement, rescue, security, Naval Forces and multiple marine industry and science sectors. The cost of fuel always impacts budgets, operations, and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing economy. To reduce carbon and other air pollutant emissions and noise, our project will research the technical requirements for an electric Hybrid RHIB and measure reductions in noise from electric propulsion.
