Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat,
(RHIB)
A rigid-hulled inflatable boat,
(RHIB) or rigid-inflatable boat (RIB) is a lightweight but
high-performance and high-capacity boat constructed with a solid, shaped
hull and flexible tubes at the gunwale. The design is stable and
seaworthy. The inflatable collar allows the vessel to maintain buoyancy
if a large quantity of water is shipped aboard due to bad sea
conditions. The RIB is a development of the inflatable boat. Uses
include work boats (supporting shore facilities or larger ships) in
trades that operate on the water, military craft, where they are used in
patrol roles and to transport troops between vessels or ashore, and
lifeboats.
