Introduction For more than 20 years Hukkelberg has specialized in the design and building of high speed workboats from 9-15 metres. The boats are characterized by exceptional manoeuvrability, renowned build quality and with the advantage of low freeboard, the design is perfect for FRDC, SAR, Dive Support and similar workboat operations. A strong aluminum hull, light GRP superstructure and high specification components throughout provides a wealth of benefits to the most demanding of endusers: durability, reliability and high speed performance. In 2015 a new superstructure for the boats was designed...

Fish Farming For the fish farming industry, our boats are well suited as workboats for a multitude of tasks. Photo: Cermaq Safe transfer of personnel, transportation of light equipment or other small work operations can easily be handled by our boats. The low freeboard ensures safe and effective transfers and the high speed potential ensures effective transportation. The boats are constructed to operate in open seas and shock mitigation seating is provided as standard for the comfort and safety of the crew. Hukkelberg Boats Fish Farming

We have designed and built 15 Search And Rescue (SAR) boats for the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue. Recently we have been awarded a contract for the conversion of the boats which includes a total overhaul and our newly designed superstructure. With a low freeboard, picking up survivors and casualties from the sea is easier and the low draft makes operations in shallow water possible. These SAR boats can maintain high speed in rough seas thus saving time in red alert, emergency situations. The boats can be equipped for fire-fighting and emergency bilge pumping.

Offshore We have designed and built over 150 FRDC’s (Fast Rescue Daughter Craft) for the offshore industry. Our boats are well known for quality and endurance. The boats comply with SOLAS and UKOOA requirements and are found in operation all over the world. The boats are fitted with a single point lifting system and painter hook with remote release by the helmsman from inside the wheelhouse. A solid buoyancy fender is fitted to the hull and combined with the low freeboard ensures a safe walk-around concept for the crew.

Our boats are used for a wide range of patrol duties, such as Coastguard, Range Patrol and Anti-smuggling operations. Different engine and propulsion systems can be offered to comply with speed demands and operational hours. The hull construction is designed to maintain high speed in rough seas and crew comfort and safety is maintained with shock-mitigation seating. The boat has low draft whilst water-jet propulsion gives the vessel the ability to operate in very shallow waters. With twin installation, the boat has exceptional manoeuvrability in confined areas.

Wind Farm The boats are perfectly suited for the open sea environment of Wind Farms. In common with our highly successful Daughter Craft, the single point lifting system can be installed as an option. The boat can be used for rapid crew transfers and for transporting smaller items of equipment and tools. Bow fenders of different designs are produced to suit customer preferences. There is ample power for laying up against pylon rails and safe passage for technicians from wheelhouse to disembarkation and recovery is ensured with well-placed safety rails.
