DSB 420 Inflatable Rescue Boat

Lightweight, High-Performance Rescue Solution for Maritime Operations

The DSB 420 Inflatable Rescue Boat is an exceptionally lightweight, high-performance solution built for a wide range of rescue and operational tasks. Constructed from ultra-light Hypalon fabric, this boat is designed for easy transport and servicing, making it ideal for rapid deployment in emergency situations. With its inflatable deep V-shaped keel, the DSB 420 provides enhanced manoeuvrability, while the advanced bow design maximises internal space for personnel and equipment.

The boat is available with either wooden or aluminium floorboards, offering flexibility based on mission requirements. Its lightweight construction allows for easier handling, reduced operational costs, and smaller davit systems, enhancing both its efficiency and practicality for defence and commercial marine organisations.

Performance

When underwater emergencies occur, a trusted, proven partner is essential. Our submarine escape and abandonment systems are engineered for precision, speed, and survivability, delivering reliable performance under extreme pressure and time-critical conditions. From deep escape scenarios to surface evacuation, they enable rapid, controlled responses when it matters most.

Innovation

We are continually advancing our submarine escape and abandonment capabilities to meet the evolving demands of naval operations. Through new material sciences, technological innovation and strategic partnerships, we push the boundaries of survivability — developing solutions that set new standards in performance, integration and reliability beneath the surface.

Protection

Sub-surface emergencies demand absolute confidence in protective systems. Our escape and abandonment solutions are designed to safeguard submariners from depth to recovery, delivering thermal insulation, flotation, and life-support performance under the harshest conditions. Proven through rigorous testing, they provide the protection needed when submariner survival is the priority.
