The vessels, manufactured in the UK by Halmatic and designed to withstand the toughest of sea conditions, were deployed by the MoD for a diverse range of operations all around the world including logistics, counter piracy/narcotics, defence and rescue missions.

The Pacific 22 RHIB’s became surplus to requirement when the MoD replaced them with newer models as part of a recent equipment update initiative; implemented to ensure that equipment meets the expanding demands of the MoD’s military operations.

Ramco’s solution provides the MoD with a compliant and cost-effective service that extends the product lifecycle of equipment, reduces waste and promotes the reuse of surplus assets in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner. It also allows buyers within the commercial marine and workboat markets to purchase competitively priced, quality vessels from a credible, military provenance.

Ramco undertakes a thorough refurbishment of each vessel although the surplus vessels have been well maintained during their deployment and are already in great condition.
