The Army has its own fleet of ships and landing craft to deliver troops, equipment and supplies. Smaller boats are used to patrol harbours, rivers and lakes to help with bridge-building and ferrying operations.
Army Work Boat
The Army work boat is designed to enable the provision of fuel to a deployed force via the towing of fuel dracones, positioning of single-point mooring buoys for fuel pipelines, fire-fighting and assistance to Mexeflote operations.
The Combat Support Boat is a powerful, versatile craft whose major role is to support both bridging and amphibious operations. Water jet propulsion allows high thrust at shallow draught.
The Mexeflote is the largest logistic landing craft in Defence. Operated exclusively by the Royal Logistic Corps, the platform guarantees theatre entry regardless of access to a Port.
