Due to the availability of Rescue facilities and infrastructure to inland water traffic in Africa, our boats are designed and constructed in light weight Marine Grade Aluminium to be virtually unsinkable. This assurance comes from our choice of hull thickness and inclusion of our buoyancy cells which are incorporated in the boats available water tight compartments. This assures passengers, marine authorities and operators that they are acquiring a safe platform that will sustain them in the event of the vessel's Hull or Sponson being catastrophically compromised in any way until they can be rescued. Our vessels are also constructed to various standards and Class certification dependant on their intended application. If required, our Yard also builds to International class society requirements with the associated costs being included in the final Client cost estimate when requested. Despite the lack of any regulations in some areas, we despite the costs, always advise prospective clients to not exclude our standard bouyancy and structural options. Each design includes our standard design bouyancy factors and before being officially released endures exhaustive stability tests and practical field test simulations. Our vessel designs are vetted, and have passed the stringent requirements of the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) relative to Buoyancy regulations for commercial and passenger transport vessels. Our minimum Buoyancy factors start at 115% of the boats Light Ship weight and are further tailored to clients’ needs and operational requirements prior to order. Our vessel designs focus on structural strenght and Safety as our primary concern. This is evident when comparing T-Craft boats to those as standard in the industry. With safety there are no shortcuts, and as such the critical welds on our boats are regularly tested and X-rayed to maintain the highest in safety and weld standards. Fine attention is paid to the placement and size of buoyancy cells, ergonomics and the softening of any sharp angles or points that could potentially injure or snag.
