ASIS Boats recently delivered new Fire- Fighting RHIB boats and training to the Maldives Airport and Fire Rescue Authority at their facilities located on Hulhule Island in the North Malè Atoll.

The Maldives Fire Rescue Services received highly customized, multi-mission, 8.0 Meter ASIS Fire-Rescue Boats. These boats were specially designed and equipped for their unique aviation fire/rescue mission to include onboard fire-pumps & fire-monitors, closed-cell foam-filled tube-sets, 20-person self-deploying SOLAS approved life-rafts and each boat equipped with a self-righting system.

Each of the Fire and Rescue Boat has a heavy duty foam filled hypalon tube fitted with triple rubbing fenders, internal and external lifelines and covered by non-sked patches. They are featuring a gun metal firefighting pump, complete with exhaust, hours recorder, 12V electronic ignition starter; designed to provide continuous rated performance of 1325 l/min at 10 bar pressure and 3m lift. The monitor rotates 360 degrees and has a vertical movement of +90 to 45 degree horizontal.

These fully equipped red unsinkable firefighting and rescue boats are powered by twin 115 Hp 4 stroke Yamaha engines allowing a speed of 45mph permitting them to respond quickly to calls for assistance and for maneuvers within the emergency zone.

The Maldives Fire Rescue Services have one of the most challenging Areas of Responsibility (AORs).In addition to the team’s responsibility for the Malè International Airport itself, their on-water headquarters is situated in the very center of three active sea-plane runways which themselves see 450+ sorties a day!

“The Maldives’ Fire Rescue Team was one of the most highly motivated and skilled teams that I have had the honor to work with, said Roy Nouhra, CEO of ASIS Boats . During the training a fire broke out in Male and the team got dispatched, staying out all night to put out the fire. And they came back in the morning full of energy for the training.
What a great team and great people!

It was a pleasure and an honor to be part of that team” continued Nouhra.

The Airport Maintenance Crews were also provided detailed training in the maintenance and repair of the boats, outboard motors, and on-board fire-fighting equipment.
