We are pleased to report that Vectis Marine Design has moved to their own new offices. Vectis purchased the offices in January this year and has now moved in following four weeks of refurbishment. The office is located near Fareham in Hampshire, just off Junction 9 of the M27, with convenient access to the motorway routes and Southampton airport.
Vectis Marine Design recently had the honour of a visit to our offices by HRH The Princess Royal. Princess Anne, The Princess Royal was visiting Fareham Innovation Centre as part of the celebrations for 100 years of flying from the former HMS Daedalus air base on which the Centre is located.
A new concept military and professional RIB developed by Vectis and built by Delta Power Group has been delivered to the UK's Windermere Police. The Next-Generation RIB features an entirely clear and flat aft deck to accommodate a wide range of payloads and provide a highly flexible and capable craft for military, professional and rescue duties.
When the new owner of a VT Halmatic Arctic 28 RIB wanted an enclosed wheelhouse designed and installed he approached Vectis for the job. Vectis has first hand experience of the Arctic RIBs from VT Halmatic and from providing technical support to the MOD's Arctic fleet over the last few years. The aluminium wheelhouse was designed and supplied by Vectis as a turn-key project for the boat's new owner.About Us
