12m Aluminium Landing Craft

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This aluminium landing craft barge was built by Metal Designs Ltd in Auckland as a robust multi-purpose workvessel and is currently operating in the Bay of Islands. This vessel has been certified for commercial use (MNZ40A & 40C with operational area: Enclosed Limits) and can carry up to 5500kg of cargo with specific additional modifications. The standard stockplan design that we offer has a standard 3900kg cargo capacity for use in New Zealand (MNZ certification) and 4800kg cargo capacity for use in Australia (AMSA/NSCV). The difference comes from different rules that apply. Maritime New Zealand is currently revising the design requirements (2023-2024) and it looks like when they come into force the vessel may also standardly carry 4800kg in NZ.

With this design you can build a very robust and versatile workboat. We offer studyplans and a full stock plan with specifications and characteristics as shown below. To purchase studyplans follow the link at the bottom of the page for instant download of the files after payment. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any enquiries regarding customisation of the design to suit your needs. 

This stock plan design is a joint effort between Manta Marine Design (tradename of Van Schaik Marine Design LTD) and De Villiers Marine Design LTD, hence the logo showing 'De Villiers and Van Schaik Marine Design'
