Amphibious hovercraft are by definition high performance craft. They are the only mode of transport which can easily access some areas of the world being ideally suited to shallow water, drying areas, submerged rocks, boulder strewn rivers/rapids etc. Helicopters could be an alternative in many areas but are very much more expensive and generally possess a much lighter single lift capacity.

Well deck AP1-88 Hovercraft : Logistics work in Canada

Hoverwork can provide Hovercraft solutions to the following problems :

Access to the types of area below without the need for dock, pier, harbour or dredged channel infrastructures:-

• Beaches
• Marshland
• Sand and Mud Flats
• Any depth of water - just a few centimetres of water over coral reefs will permit safe passage.
• Frozen waterways or sea (provided the ice is not heavily ridged).

Isolated and relatively smooth objects can be transited when they are up to half a cushion depth in height. Note: Sharp objects projecting above the water or other surface may cause damage to the flexible structure.

Typical applications Passenger Transport and tourism related excusions. Commercial freight transportation. Logistics Exploration Survey Search & Rescue Patrol & Security
