INTRODUCTIONRhino Craft hulls are fabricated from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and are designed, developed andtested to create robust and virtually indestructible workboats for use with outboard motors as well asinboard diesels with stern drives or jet drives. Over the last 8 years the hulls have been proven in harshoffshore conditions impacting with solid and floating steel structures and have a customised forepeakstructure for engaging in offshore bow catcher boat landings. The craft generally employ 15mm thickHDPE pipe sponsons which act as heavy duty fenders for extreme offshore abuse. These sponsons arefilled with polystyrene foam to render the craft virtually unsinkable.

The craft incorporate bench seating with upstand gunnels, lifting pad

eyes, deck lashing pad

eyes,consoles and lockers. They are generally fitted with a bow step and hand rail compatible with

conventional offshore structure bow catchers. They are fitted with aluminium chain lockers, rubber D fenders, pontoon roping and scupper flaps for the self draining decks.

For operational safety, the forepeak bow catcher is designed as a separate structure that is welded tothe basic hull. In extreme environmental conditions, severe impact loading causing potential damage tothe bow catcher will be superficial and will not compromise the integrity of the hull itself.

The first Rhino Craft were built in 2003 for a client needing a relatively indestructible workboat foroffshore bow catchers. Despite the fact that Rhino Craft have almost a decade of proven reliability, weare continually evolving and improving to meet client needs. New designs are developed in co operation with our sister companies Wale Marine who have 25 years offshore experience and OISMarine of the Oil Integrated Services Group who are well established marine operators in West Africawith in house naval architecture.

On completion of an extreme offshore repair operation for PetroSA executed using a Rhino Craft thediving supervisor commented that any other workboat would not have lasted GRP would have beenshattered, aluminium would have been ripped and conventional RIBs did not even warrant mention .Rhino Craft hulls require minimal maintenance and can be easily repaired or adapted by relativelyunskilled staff. Some of the advantages of HDPE relative to other hull materials are listed below:

RHINO 590 EHD

The Rhino 590 EHD is a heavy duty workboat designed for offshore bow catcher structures. Theforepeak structure is a separate structure developed for extreme abuse without compromising the hull.The craft can be loaded into a standard 6 meter container, and can be fitted with either single or twinoutboard motors. Craft can be supplied bare, to receive a tiller operated motor, or fitted with a consoleand skippers seat arrangement. An inboard diesel motor can be fitted if required, but our longerversions are recommended for these applications.

General Features and Standard accessories: Sponson seating with up stand gunnel; Sponsons filled with polystyrene foam to enhance buoyant integrity; Rubber D Fendering Double D on forepeak and single D along the full sponson length; Heavy duty bollards mounted on sponsons forward and aft; Forepeak step up with removable stainless steel handrail received either port or starboard; 3legged webbing sling arrangement for offshore launch and recovery from mother craft; and Forward chain locker with aluminium hatch.

Dimensions and weights: Length 5.9 m, Beam 2.2 m, Depth overall 1.16m, Light draft 0.5 m, Bare hullMass 925 kg , Payload 1,500 kg

RHINO 590 GP

The Rhino 590 GP is a recently developed general purpose work boat which does not have sponsons,and lacks the same degree of robustness as the EHD, but is still well suited for standard marineoperations and as a personnel transfer boat. As with the EHD, it can be loaded into a standard 6 metercontainer and also has lifting points for use with a 3 legged webbing sling.

The standard craft is designed for use with a single outboard motor, but on request we can supply amodified transom version that is suited for twin outboards.

We can supply the boat either bare, to receive a tiller operated motor, or fitted with a console andskippers seat arrangement as shown in the picture either uncovered, with a T Top cover or with aBimini Top as shown.

General Features and Standard accessories: Side seating with up stand gunnels; Side lockers beneath seating for general stowage; Side hull compartments filled with polystyrene foam to enhance buoyant integrity; Rubber D Fendering Double D on bow only; Medium duty bow bollard; 3legged webbing sling arrangement for launch and recovery; and Bowlocker with water tight hatch.

Dimensions and weights: Length 5.9 m, Beam 1.84 m, Depth overall 1.17m, Light draft 0.3 m, Bare hullMass 600 kg, Payload 1,000 kg

RHINO 690

The Rhino 690 has primarily been developed as a high speed diesel workboat for use on offshore oil andgas installations where petrol engines are not permitted. It can also be used as a small Dive SRP boat oras a personnel transfer boat, and is suitable for certain military/navy applications. The crafts beam isselected such that it can be transported in a standard 12m container with side fenders removed.

The standard drive is an inboard diesel engine (recommended power range is 150 to 350 HP) matchedwith an UltraJet water jet drive. As an alternative it can be supplied with a stern drive system in place ofwater jet drive. For non diesel applications the hull can be powered by single or twin outboard motors.With respect to canopies we can supply the craft with either T top, GRP canopy, fixed stainless steelportal & canvas, or Bimini Top arrangements.

Standard features and accessories: Spray rail chines for dry ride and power efficiency; Jockey Console(tilt up for engine access); Heavy duty forepeak for offshore bow catchers with removable stainless steelhand rail; Polystyrene filled sponsons; 3 legged webbing sling arrangement for easy launch and recoveryfrom mother craft; Sponson mounted bench seating with up stand gunnel; Fore and aft sponson mounted bollards; Forward chain locker; 125L Diesel Tank; and Rubber bow and side D fenders.

Dimensions and weights (160 HP Steyr 20 knot Lightship): Length 6.9 m, Beam 2.48 m, Depth overall1.65m, Light draft 0.55 m, Lightship mass 2,400 kg, Payload 1,500 kg

RHINO 800

The Rhino 800 is an optimised extension of the 690 (narrow beam) which has been developed in

conjunction with our partners Oilfield Integrated Services (OIS) who are operators in West Africa. It is apowerful high speed craft designed for heavy offshore use that can be transported in a standard 12mcontainer. It has an easily accessible and removable fuel tank for facilitating cleaning especially for usein areas where the quality of diesel is inferior. The diesel tank capacity is 230 litres.

The standard drive is a Yanmar 315 HP inboard diesel engine coupled to a 251 UltraJet drive which is anextremely robust and reliable system. As with the 690 it can alternatively be supplied with a stern drivesystem in place of water jet drive. For non diesel applications the hull can be powered single or twinoutboard motors. The standard accessories are similar to the 690, but the 800 has triple rubber Dfenders on forepeak and employs a solid HDPE defender protection strip on the sponson sides.
