Mainstay Marine Launches Next-Generation RIBWORKER 2.0 Range

Mainstay Marine, a UK-based workboat builder, announces the launch of its cutting-edge RIBWORKER 2.0 range. Building on the legendary legacy of the Ocean Dynamics RIBWORKER vessels from the 1980s. This revamped aluminium RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) series is engineered to deliver unparalleled performance over decades of demanding use.

The RIBWORKER 2.0 range, now fully compliant with Workboat Code 3 rulings, offers a wide variety of design options that can be customised to meet clients’ exacting requirements. Whether required for defence and security, offshore or inshore patrol, search and rescue, USV support, salvage, dive support, crew transfer, scientific survey, or commercial passenger trips, the RIBWORKER 2.0 is the ultimate choice.

The RIBWORK 2.0 designs not only prioritise passenger safety but can also withstand repeated groundings and impacts, ensuring minimal downtime and maximising clients’ returns

James Donald, Managing Director, stated, “The launch of RIBWORKER2.0 perfectly encapsulates Mainstay’s vision as a ‘Modern Yard for Modern Clients’. This vessel range combines quality, time-honoured methods with the elegance of sophisticated, contemporary designs and innovative operational capabilities. We look forward to moving this area of the business forward at pace”.

Charlotte Wood, Commercial Manager, commented, “Clients worldwide have consistently returned to us to upgrade their RIBWORKER vessels to our latest, more advanced designs. The enduring performance of these vessels, even after 25 years of rigorous use, is a testament to the exceptional quality of their design and construction”.

The RIBWORKER 2.0 forms the basis for a truly multi-role craft that is ready to exceed expectations for performance and longevity.
