U.S. shipyard Metal Shark has orders for several fireboats for different customers in the United States.

The yard has an order for a 23.3m-long type 70 Defiant fireboat for Canaveral Fire Rescue in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The aluminium monohull vessel has a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) system to provide crew protection during disaster response. Metal Shark offers the 70 Defiant with a wide range of propulsion packages enabling the vessel to achieve top speeds of over 45 knots. Canaveral’s vessel will be powered by quad 800-hp MAN diesel engines powering Hamilton water jets. This configuration will deliver a cruise speed in the 30-knot range and a top speed of 35 knots.

Earlier this year, Metal Shark announced an order to build the next generation of fireboats for the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue department, with a multi-boat order for 16.6m-long Defiant-class pilothouse fireboats currently being built. A series of other fireboats are also being built for other U.S. customers.
