What is the main function of the 7M RIB?

The main function of the 7M RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) is primarily focused on personnel transportation. This type of boat is designed to effectively and efficiently move individuals or small groups between vessels or from a vessel to shore, making it particularly useful in various maritime operations. Its lightweight construction combined with the inflatable collars allows it to navigate rapidly across water, ensuring that personnel can be transported safely and quickly in different sea conditions.

While the 7M RIB can also play roles in other operations, such as rescue missions or supporting VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure) operations, its core capability and design are centered around transporting people. This makes it an essential asset in maritime environments where personnel mobility is needed.
