29’ DJ Rapid Response – Engineered for Emergency Missions
Project Information
The Challenge: Precision Performance in High-Risk Zones
Emergency services and harbour patrols require a vessel that can respond instantly while maintaining the ability to operate in shallow or debris-heavy waters where traditional propellers are at risk. The challenge was to deliver a “rapid response” platform that combines high-torque diesel power with extreme maneuverability, all housed within a hull capable of professional-grade impact resistance.The ABCO Solution: Diesel-Jet Precision and Durability
THE ABCO SOLUTION
We engineered the 29’ DJ with a Volvo D6 370 hp electronic diesel engine paired with an Ultra Dynamic 305 waterjet. This configuration allows for “on-a-dime” maneuvering and rapid acceleration without the vulnerability of underwater running gear. The hull features a hard-chine design with lifting strakes and a proprietary “Epsilon” non-marking fender system, allowing the vessel to come alongside other craft safely during high-stakes boarding or rescue operations.
Key Performance Features
The Aluminum Advantage
THE RESULT
By choosing a diesel-jet aluminum build, operators gain an asset nearly immune to the mechanical downtime associated with propeller damage or hull fatigue. The result is a high-speed, reliable platform that delivers maximum “on-station” time and the structural integrity required to perform in the most unforgiving marine environments when seconds count.
