UTILITY BOAT
A utility boat is a type of watercraft designed for a wide range of practical, functional purposes, primarily in industrial, commercial, or service applications. These boats are versatile and can be used in various settings such as ports, harbors, offshore platforms, and coastal waters. Utility boats are typically smaller and more robust than passenger boats and are built to handle tasks like transporting goods, personnel, equipment, and performing specific functions.
Some common uses of utility boats include:
- Transporting Supplies and Personnel – They are used to ferry workers and equipment to and from offshore oil rigs, ships, or platforms.
- Support for Construction and Maintenance – Utility boats may assist in the construction, inspection, and maintenance of marine structures like piers, docks, and buoys.
- Search and Rescue – Some utility boats are equipped for emergency response, including search-and-rescue operations in coastal or offshore areas.
- Patrol and Security – Used by law enforcement or security personnel to monitor harbors, docks, and other waterway areas.
- Fishing Support – In commercial fishing, utility boats are often used for various tasks such as transporting fishermen, nets, and catch back and forth from shore.
Utility boats are typically built to be durable and practical, often featuring a flat bottom or shallow draft for operating in shallow waters. They may have specialized equipment like cranes, winches, or cranes for various tasks, and can be powered by engines, motors, or in some cases, by sail.
