Geneva Police take delivery of high performance 6.8m Delta RIB

July 28, 2011 - PRLog -- The Geneva Police already had a larger 7.9m high performance X range Delta RIB operating on Lake Geneva but needed a smaller 6.8m X range Delta RIB that could be trailed, giving better access to larger numbers of launching places around the lake’s shores. It had to be fully mobile and easy to launch anywhere, quickly.
Specifically adapted to Swiss regulations, the new 6.8m Delta RIB is fitted with a Yamaha F300B engine, giving a 36 knot cruising speed. To comply with the regulations, the fuel system is fully removable for inspection and maintenance. Seating includes jockey pods and accommodates up to six people (two crew and four passengers). Safety equipment complies with ACPO regulations. There is also a self-righting A frame and substantial forward and aft tow posts.
Special features of the Geneva Police RIB include a robust hybrid collar with a foam filled inflatable bladder. In common with other essential components, Delta has been producing its own special hybrid collars for over eight years. The in-house manufacture of parts and products is an essential component in Delta’s success, giving it total control over the design and construction of every aspect of a Delta RIB. This in turn enables Delta to offer a wide degree of customisation, ensuring that each RIB ordered will exactly fulfil each client’s specific needs.
The new Delta 6.8m delivered to the Geneva police is being utilised for lake patrol, surveillance, rescue, border patrol, and as a dive boat. A stipulation was for longevity. Geneva Police needed a durable, quality vessel that could be in service for a long time. Interestingly, Delta was also asked to put a Union Jack alongside its livery to show that this was a British-built quality boat. Delta now includes the Union Jack alongside its livery on all builds, unless specifically requested not to. www.deltapower.co.uk
