Poseidon Boat delivered 2 units 10-meter landing craft to Ministry of Transport of Philippines, designed specifically for the transportation of goods, including vehicles, timber, and construction materials, between islands.

Client Requirements

The client needed a durable, reliable landing craft to handle a variety of heavy cargo for their inter-island logistics operations. Key requirements included:

Load Capacity: The boat had to support the transport of large vehicles, timber, and building materials, with a high load-bearing capacity.

Safety: Given the heavy cargo and frequent sea travel, safety was a top priority, requiring reinforced structure and advanced safety features.

Stability and Smooth Performance: The boat needed to ensure stability, especially when carrying heavy loads, to minimize risk during transport.

Standalone Comfortable Cockpit: The client requested a comfortable, standalone cockpit for the captain to ensure efficient operations over long hours.

Onboard Communication Systems: Reliable sea communication equipment to maintain contact with other vessels and land bases during transport.

Customization Process

We worked closely with the client to tailor the landing craft to their operational needs. Key customizations included:

High Load Capacity: The craft was designed with a reinforced hull and deck, capable of carrying heavy cargo like vehicles and construction materials. The loading area was optimized for easy loading and unloading of large items, ensuring the boat could handle both light and heavy loads efficiently.

Safety Features: To address the client’s safety concerns, the boat was equipped with robust safety systems, including emergency equipment and life-saving devices. The craft’s hull was further reinforced for greater durability and impact resistance during rough sea conditions.

Stable and Smooth Sailing: To ensure stability in varying sea conditions, the boat was designed with a low center of gravity and enhanced hull design. This provided steady navigation even when carrying heavy loads across long distances.

Standalone Cockpit: The cockpit was designed to be spacious and ergonomic, ensuring comfort for the captain during long hours of navigation. It included advanced navigation systems and a clear view for efficient operation in varied weather conditions.

Sea Communication Systems: A state-of-the-art communication system was installed, allowing the captain to maintain clear and constant contact with nearby vessels and shore operations, ensuring smooth coordination during the transport process.
