To enable marine researchers to explore the English waters to conduct surveys, they need not only a properly equipped diving support vessel but also remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) that can withstand the unpredictable and sometimes extreme weather in North West England. They found this with Northern Rib Hire – the highly acclaimed specialist marine services company based in Lancaster.

“Katabatic is our star dive vessel and designed for a purpose. It is equipped with diver wash-down facilities, a 15 KVA generator, plus a 750kg A-frame capable of four-point mooring. Rib Mistral is one of our large, open deck space diving support vessels. It can easily accommodate a dive team of five, plus the crew, as well as a scuba replacement unit. The vessel is equipped with a dive ladder to allow easy access to and from the vessel. We also have several smaller Ribs like Diablo, which is often used for commercial diving operations on inland locations where access is restricted,” a company representative proudly stated.

Since its inception in 2006, the Northern Rib Hire's fleet has grown strongly and steadily and it quickly became one of England's most sought-after marine services companies, offering fast, efficient, affordable and reliable services to a wide clientele. They are widely recognised for their exceptional customer service and tailor-made solutions for all marine requirements.

Northern Rib has a variety of vessels in all sizes and types, each of which is designed and equipped for a specific sea activity, including crew transfers, marine security, safety boats and survey boats. They also offer commercial rigid inflatable boat (RIB) hire services that can be tailored to suit any project, and they also transport any of their own Ribs, or those of other companies, to other locations by truck.

Northern Rib Hire's fleet vessels are suitable for multi-purpose use at sea and each vessel is properly equipped to always ensure the safety of those on board. Their diving support vessels can be used, for example, for inland locations where access is restricted, as well as for commercial diving operations.

They operate between 08:00 and 17:00 from Mondays to Fridays, between 09:00 and 17:00 on Saturdays and between 11:00 and 16:00 on Sundays.
