PRO:ZERO 7.5m frc mrk3 7.5m FRC MRK3 The 7,5 m FRC is a third-generation design built around the already well proven ProZero 7,5-meter Fast Rescue Boat. The first two iterations of the 7,5-metre FRC design have been developed and tested thoroughly during the ProZero development project for which Tuco received funding under the Horizon2020 SME Instrument programme. This development project ended in 2018, but Tuco Marine has continued to refine the project results and implement them in the ProZero series. The third generation FRC represents the highest level of refinement yet. Low weight Cutting weight and adding value. Low weight design lifts the value chain.

Why Carbonfibre Composites PRO:ZERO Many people are not aware of the advantages of Impacts/safety materials carbon fibre composites over aluminium, so here composites we will highlight some of them. Composite boats are much safer than aluminium boats. When aluminium boats are subjected to Life Span impacts, the hull is often penetrated. A simple drop test clearly shows the improved safety of a sand- Composite boats have longer life span due to their wich composite hull structure.

The relative difference in stiffness that only the outer skin of the structure is penetrated between welded connections and plating means that while the core material absorbs the remaining en- forces cannot be transferred to and from the plating ergy, leaving the inner skin undamaged This means without creating cracks over time. no risk of water ingress and less danger to boat and crew members. weight Paints and surfaces Generally, carbon fibre composite boats are 30% lighter than comparable aluminium boats. This Aluminium surfaces need constant maintenance translates into less fuel consumption and higher since any minor scratches or compromises to the speeds. Carbon fibre itself is known for its impressive paint will expose the aluminium.

Launch and Recovery PRO:ZERO Not taking any risks Launch and recovery of Daughter Crafts is an area that requires exceptional vigilance. The ProZero series is carefully designed to secure maximum safety and reli- ability for the users in these high-risk situations, and special care is taken in the design process to ensure accessibility to hooking points. Lighter overall solution Due to the lightweight construction of the ProZero Daughter Crafts, less stress is exerted on the lifting equipment. This allows fitting of lighter davit equip- ment which benefits the overall naval architecture and saves resources that enable clients to pursue their real goals. Light weight solutions lift the entire value chain. We work closely with a number of leading equipment manufacturers and we are happy to include custom- ized LARS solutions for individual clients. Low weight Cutting weight and adding value. Low weight design lifts the value chain.

PRO:ZERO High speed rescue The ProZero Fast Rescue Daughter Craft (FRDC) are specifically designed for fast launch and recovery from davits offshore and Emergency Response, Search and Rescue and Patrol operations away from a mothership. All ProZero Daughter Craft feature the exceptional vacuum-infused ProZero composite hull for optimal strength and responsive handling at speed, even in very aggressive conditions. Our 11m ProZero FRDC can accommodate up to 12 passengers or 24 emer- gency survivors. All our Daughter Craft are rigorously tested to ensure their self-righting capability in all conditions and are constructed to be virtually unsinkable. ProZero Daughter Craft are available in a range of lengths with different propulsion systems and with cus- tomizable configurations to suit the client’s specific requirements. 11m Fast Rescue Daughter Craft

PRO:ZERO Escorting Offshore wind farms into the 2009 future Tuco Marine’s ties with the wind industry is practically as old as the industry itself. With our state-of-the-art range of ProZero Daughter Crafts for SOV deploy- ment, we demonstrate our unbroken commitment to the sector. Building on the AluGuard series, Tuco Marine’s first range of service boats, the ProZero series represents the quintessence of a tried, per- fected and validated technology. Paving the seaway The robust and agile ProZero DCs are built to provide the best possible support in connection with transfer operations between Wind Service Operation Vessels (SOV) and wind turbines. The scale and remoteness of modern-day offshore wind farms requires accommodation of crew and tech- nicians on SOVs. The ProZero design represents a direct response to the demands of this sector where transport of personnel and cargo between SOVs and wind turbines requires increasing attention to safety, dependability and efficiency. The ProZero Daughter Crafts carry crew and tech- nicians to their destination with confidence and strengthen the value stream for the operators. Efficient and proven hull Matchless strenght-to-weight and seaworthiness. Shaping first-class hulls with precision technique and cost-effective production.

PRO:ZERO Meeting the demands for safe transfer *2015 Design The 11m DCW Offshore Transfer is a fast transfer 11m boat designed specifically for transporting personnel. Daughter Craft It is a highly versatile and flexible vessel that is designed to meet the high safety and operational requirements for this type of boat. In addition to its purpose as a fast crew and passenger transporter, it is also capable of performing a range of other tasks where agility and efficiency is important. The design allows for easy access from both fore and aft deck with an emphasis on quick, but safe accom- modation of passengers in the cabin and cargo on the foredeck. Particular measures have been taken to develop the specialized boarding area at the bow fender, or optionally at the side fender, to guarantee safe passage for crew and personnel. For daughter craft versions, the safe launch and recov- ery mechanism can be altered according to individual specifications and can be fitted for both single point hoisting or access to a stern garage on a mothership. Besides improved comfort, efforts have been made to secure a high level of redundancy to keep the vessel operational and fit as a stand-alone unit that is capable of carrying out transfer operations to and from shore. *2019 Design
