Tuco Marine Group is expanding its product portfolio with a newly developed vessel platform tailored for fire and rescue services: Mission Master. This new platform marks a focused strategic move into the emergency response sector and builds on the company’s longstanding experience delivering professional workboats for critical and demanding operations.
Mission Master is designed to support operations in complex and high-risk environments – both along coastlines and in inland waterways. The vessel has already been sold to international customers and has received positive attention as a versatile solution for modern emergency response needs. Mission Master can be configured for a wide range of purposes, including firefighting, equipment transport, surveillance, reconnaissance, and evacuation.
“Mission Master is a new and important step for us. It is a platform created with a clear focus on the real operational needs within the defence, rescue, and emergency sectors – especially in shallow and coastal areas. With enhanced stability and a shallow draft, it addresses the specific requirements of these environments, and we are pleased that it has already found its way into the international market,” says Jonas Pedersen, CEO of Tuco Marine Group.
The vessels are based on a durable composite hull and optimized for rapid deployment, high reliability, and low maintenance. They can be equipped with a wide array of modular systems and propulsion options – including firefighting equipment, communication cameras, and rescue tools – and can be tailored for both manned and unmanned operations.
Mission Master has been developed in accordance with current international standards for emergency vessels and incorporates elements from the widely recognized German DIN 14961 standard, used across much of Europe’s emergency services.
With its base in Faaborg, Denmark, and extensive experience in defence and rescue craft, Tuco Marine now delivers a new and complementary solution aimed at tomorrow’s emergency needs – both nationally and internationally. This adds to the proven range of V-hull response boats and RHIBs that the company’s ProZero series is already known for.
