Another milestone for search and rescue in Iceland! We’re proud to support the delivery of the sixth Kewatec Serecraft SAR 17 to Reykjavik - an essential addition to ICE-SAR’s fleet. Lars Olaussen, COO of Kewatec Aluboat, shares his appreciation: "We sincerely thank HamiltonJet for their outstanding collaboration and unwavering commitment. Hamilton waterjets deliver exceptional performance and manoeuvrability, ensuring superior handling and efficiency in diverse maritime conditions. This enables us to consistently meet and exceed our customers’ expectations. We are particularly grateful for the expertise and support provided by Hamilton’s Finnish representative and regional manager." From the operator, ICESAR, Maritime SAR Project Manager Björn Gunnarsson highlights the impact of these vessels: "The new ICE-SAR vessels, built by Kewatec and powered by HamiltonJet propulsion, mark a significant leap forward in our search and rescue capabilities. Each vessel is equipped with twin Scania DI13 551 kW engines and Hamilton HJ403 waterjets, state-of-the-art navigation equipment providing exceptional speed, manoeuvrability, and reliability. This advanced propulsion system offers precise control in extreme weather conditions, allowing us to operate safely in Iceland’s notoriously rough seas, where high waves, strong currents, and sudden weather changes are constant challenges." Four of these next-generation rescue boats are already in service, with the fifth and sixth under construction. ICE-SAR’s long-term plan includes a total of 13 vessels to replace its aging Arun-class fleet. "These new boats, with their waterjet propulsion, provide significantly improved responsiveness, reduced draft, and the ability to operate more safely in challenging coastal environments. They also offer superior crew comfort, modern navigation systems, and enhanced rescue capabilities – allowing us to execute missions more effectively and with greater confidence. These vessels are a game-changer for ICE-SAR, ensuring we can continue our critical work with the best tools available. We are extremely pleased with their performance and look forward to seeing the full fleet in action in the coming years." A huge thank you to Kewatec Aluboat and HamiltonJet for their expertise and collaboration in delivering cutting-edge rescue capabilities. #SearchAndRescue #HamiltonJet #Kewatec #ICESAR #MaritimeInnovation #Waterjet
