Detailed Crane Operations
The Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is known for its speed, stability, and versatility.
It is a popular choice for lots of recreational activities, and also to be used as a tender.
Beyond leisure, it supports professional programs like search and rescue operations.
It aids in maritime patrol and contributes to environmental monitoring. It also assists in the transport of personnel or equipment in challenging conditions.
The Navy uses it for SEAL insertion and extraction, maritime interdiction, and naval boarding operations.
In this video U.S. Marines from the 24th MEU and Sailors aboard USS New York (LPD 21) conducted RIB operations.
They also trained crane operations during Amphibious Squadron–MEU Integration (PMINT) in the Atlantic Ocean on Dec. 8, 2023.
PMINT is the 24th MEU’s first opportunity to fully integrate with the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group. It tests Marines and Sailors across key operational capabilities.
This is done through live and simulated exercises.

I’ve shared more videos of this British RIB brand.
