ABS Hovercraft

In 1993 ABS created the world's fastest recreational Hovercraft fully made from advanced composite materials.

In 1995 the ABS M-10 was sold to a commercial operator, Eurosense, in Belgium as a replacement for an SR-N6 for use as a hydrographical survey vessel along the coastline off Zeebrugge.

In 1998 the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, announced on television the Millennium Product award of the UK Design Council for the ABS M-10 Hovercraft.

So far, ABS has concentrated on larger hovercraft that can carry up to 100 passengers as a ferry or more than 10 tons of payload for military, paramilitary or commercial applications.

Their vessels can be used as commercial ferry or for cargo operations, as a work boat or for logistic supply in arduous environments.
