A RIB, or Seaboat (Pacific 24 Mark-4) from HMS Duncan photographed during a joint exercise in the Aegean Sea with German and Turkish Navies.
The RIBS can travel from ship or shore at speeds of up to 38 knots (44mph) as a rapid response craft to perform fast rescue, anti-piracy and counter-narcotics missions.
The Pacific 24 Mark-4 RIB have high-performance shock absorbing seats, which will minimise crew fatigue, allowing them to travel up to six times the distance.
The fourth generation Pacific 24 RIB features a 370HP twin turbo diesel electronic engine with inbuilt self-diagnostic technology.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the impressive meeting of HMS Duncan and FGS Frankfurt Am Main in the vast expanse of the Aegean Sea. The joint exercise between the German, Turkish, and British Navies showcases their commitment to maritime security. In focus is a Seaboat, specifically a Pacific 24 Mark-4 RIB from HMS Duncan. These RIBs are versatile vessels that can swiftly navigate both ship and shore at remarkable speeds of up to 38 knots (44mph). With their rapid response capabilities, they excel in various missions such as fast rescue operations, anti-piracy efforts, and counter-narcotics activities. Designed with crew comfort in mind, these fourth-generation Pacific 24 RIBs boast high-performance shock-absorbing seats that minimize fatigue. This allows them to travel distances up to six times greater than traditional boats. Equipped with a powerful 370HP twin turbo diesel electronic engine featuring self-diagnostic technology, these RIBs ensure optimal performance even in challenging conditions. Notably, these boats have obtained Safety of Life at Sea accreditation which enables them to be utilized for rescue operations as well. Standing NATO Maritime Group Two (SNMG2) plays an essential role in this deployment under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This image by L (Phot) Paul Hall beautifully encapsulates teamwork on the open seas while emphasizing the importance of international cooperation for maintaining peace and security across Mediterranean waters.
