June 29, 2011 - PRLog -- A notable recent Delta new build is a daughter craft based on the hugely successful Phantom model. The Phantom covers the field of offshore support, ERRV, stand by, crew transfer, rescue and daughter craft. Propulsion configurations include bother waterjet and sterndrive systems.

This new 10.80m daughter craft for North American Shipbuilders (delivery July 2011) is based on the well proven Phantom (already operated by a number of ERRV companies) and is specially modified for operation in Arctic waters (at up to minus 40 C.) This involved selecting only build materials specifically certified as suitable for use at these extreme temperatures. Delta also had to ensure that systems were heat protected; not only for when the craft was underway but also for when housed on the davit and exposed to severe wind chill. As an example of the specific needs for this vessel, the Radar Scanner assembly is housed within a secondary heated radome.

This 10.80m loa Delta Twinjet Phantom (Arctic spec) is propelled by twin Yanmar 6LPA-STZP (315hp) driving Hamilton HJ264 waterjets through ZF63C gearboxes. Maximum speed is 30.0 knots and cruising speed 25.0 knots. Seating includes KAB 525 Suspension Seats for three and bench seating for 12. Safety equipment is to MCA LOALINE Exemption Equipment (UKOOA) and the special Arctic environment pack includes double glazed windows, heated front windows and wipers, dual heating systems, engine heating system and an upgraded electrical package.

Delta is one of the few major Commercial RIB builders to run the processes of laminating, tube making and outfitting completely ’in house’ (on its wholly owned and  secure 2.2 Acre freehold site) in 79,000 sq.ft of covered space. This ensures maximum Management and Quality Control. Delta is certified to ISO 9001: 2008 and is able to build under full survey of all the major Classification Societies.

As a result, Delta’s extensive international client base now includes ERRV, Marine Police, Border Control, Customs & Excise, Navies, Special Forces, Coastguards, Search & Rescue services, Law enforcement agencies, Military and Port Authorities; to name just a few.
