LOWER LIFE-CYCLE COST
Besides crew safety which always comes first at Rafnar, “Built on the ÖK Hull” also means dramatic reduction in equipment fatigue. The result is fewer malfunctions, leading to less downtime and lower maintenance costs. Our boats are put to the test in some of the world’s most extreme conditions, yet they last longer. In addition to our hull’s ability, our certified build process, and strict quality control result in greater longevity and higher market value.
“At Rafnar we know our customers are the most demanding out there, that’s why we demand nothing less than excellence.”
