Silver Ships, Theodore, Ala., recently delivered a customized Ambar series 28 Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The vessel is a custom-built Ambar six-meter (AM600), designed to be operated from NOAA oceangoing ships - at just under 28-feet with a 22-inch draft. Ambar series vessels, part of the RIB family, were originally designed to meet the demands of North Sea rescue boats. The original hybrid air-and-foam collar has proven to be popular and gives the Ambar series "incredible" stability, making the boats virtually unsinkable, according to Silver Ships. The vessel is projected to be part of summer's deployments. The vessel is a key element in collecting research on specific marine life including sea turtles and whales.
