Hovercraft manufacturer, Reaction International Ltd reports an upsurge in interest from oil companies exploring for oil and gas reserves in shallow water areas. Their hovercraft seats three adults and can traverse over any flat terrain, so is really useful reaching exploration sites in areas inaccessible to conventional vehicles. With no propeller to get damaged, hovercraft have no problem in shallow water areas, and of course are happy to fly over mud, sand, ice, snow, indeed any flat surface at speeds up to 40 mph.

Hov Pods commercial Hovercraft suit companies that need to reach places that are out of bounds to conventional craft & therefore allow access to areas that no other vehicles can reach.
Hov Pods are ideal for rescue, survey, environmental and research projects, mud sampling, military applications, bridge maintenance and repair, industrial work & they are ideal for patrolling shallow water areas, tidal mud, sand, ice, grass etc.
Hov Pod Hovercraft are suited to commercial applications – whereas most small hovercraft are manufactured from glass fibre which shatters on impact, Hov Pods are manufactured from HDPE – this material is impact resistant, very buoyant yet lightweight. Commercial craft need to be impact resistance and a recent case proves the Hov Pod Strength where in use the craft hit a large piece of concrete and just bounced off it, a glass fibre craft would have simply shattered. Our skirt fabric is unique and is almost impossible to rip.
When speed of access is important, hovercraft are true all-terrain vehicles, and can travel from land to sea & back to land without delay, simply by a flick of the wrist. With no propeller to snag on under-water obstructions, hovercraft can safely operate in areas out of bounds to conventional marine craft.
They can even navigate fast flowing rivers, so in all sorts of terrain, and any time of the tidal day, they can deliver personnel precisely to where they need to reach, and fast.
Our products have been put to good use by customers requiring a safe and simple to use hovercraft. We offer a range of options to suit all types of use and Hov Pods have been used as:
Airport bird scaring/support/rescue services.
Famine relief aid support craft.
Safety craft for low tide coastal work where 24-hour access is vital for staff safety.
Bridge construction and repair/maintenance.
Coastal civil engineering.
Environmental projects.
Fish farm access.
Mud Sampling
Oil exploration.
Geological and port surveys.
Mud & riverbed sampling
Water police, also called harbour patrols, port police, marine/maritime police, nautical patrols, bay constables or river police, are police officers, usually a department of a larger police organisation, who patrol in water craft. Their patrol areas may be coastal sea waters, rivers, estuaries, harbours, lakes, canals or a combination of these.
Water police are usually responsible for ensuring the safety of water users, enforcing laws relating to water traffic, preventing crime on vessels, banks and shores, providing search and rescue services (either as the main provider or as an initial response unit before more specialised units arrive), and allowing the police to reach locations not easily accessible from land. They may also be responsible for coastal security, conservation law enforcement, immigration and smuggling patrols, and diving search operations (although many police organisations have separate units to handle this). Their operations may coordinate with other agencies with similar assets such as in the United States the various Federal, State or Local authorities may work together to promote or achieve similar enforcement or rescue outcomes.
Equipment ranges from personal water craft and inflatable boats to large seagoing craft, but most police vessels are small to medium, fast motor launches. In some areas these vessels incorporate a firefighting capability through a fixed deck nozzle. The operators of these vessels are generally trained in many rescue disciplines including, first aid, vessel dewatering, and firefighting. They may also be rescue and scuba divers who are specially trained.

Jet ski rentals provide a great way to have a ton of fun. Personal water craft (PWC) vehicles give you the freedom to control where you go and what you do on the water. Keep in mind, however, that while jet skis are often called “toys,” they can still be dangerous! This article will provide you with information on jet ski rentals and safety when you’re on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or just getting started, the following will be beneficial to you.
Riding a jet ski is an exciting way to enjoy the water and it can provide hours of fun. If you love the water, the wind in your hair, the sun on your face and the thrill of an adrenaline rush, you’ll love riding a jet ski!
Jet ski rentals are designed to provide the enjoyment of water sports. If you’re a regular rider, it might be easier to rent a jet ski than buy one and lug it from place to place. And if you’re just learning how to jet ski, renting is definitely the way to go! You can find jet ski rentals just about anywhere there’s an ocean or a lake or at a local ski shop. Most people prefer to rent right on the water so they can just hop on and take off. However, if you rent for a ski shop, you’ll probably get the equipment for a less expensive rate because you have to transport it to the water on your own.
There are a couple different types of jet skis from which you can choose. First, you must decide on whether to rent your own jet ski or one that can carry more than one person.
The single person model has two basic types: the solo craft or sport craft. The solo craft is a standing jet ski. It usually takes a little longer to learn how to master control of the solo craft. The sport craft is a sitting jet ski that provides greater stability, perfect for people who are new to jet skiing. A sport craft may be slightly unstable, and more likely to turn over when it is being operated at low speeds or by a heavy rider. Despite this, the sport craft is better for beginners.
The two-person model offers dual seating, but tends to be a little slower depending upon the size of the engine. In general, however, the two-person model can be a lot of fun. The four-seater models are very stable and somewhat slower. Both the two- and four-seater jet ski models are cost effective for large groups who don’t want to rent a lot of jet skis for single use.
Now, it’s important to remember that there are safe techniques you must learn before you ride a jet ski. Most states recommend a minimum age of 16 years to operate or ride a jet ski, so keep that in mind. Be sure you fully understand how to operate the jet ski and that you’re comfortable enough to operate it on your own. Getting on the equipment is pretty easy. Just step onto the foot wells, one at a time and hold on to the dock to steady yourself. If you’re already in the water, make sure the engine is shut off and swim around to the back platform. Put your palms on the platform and pull yourself up to a kneeling position so you can get up onto the seat. Make sure the engine shut off clip (lanyard) is attached to your wrist before you start the engine and pull away.
Always wear a life preserver to protect yourself when, yes that’s when, you fall off the equipment. Never ride too closely to another watercraft – stay at least 100 feet away to avoid collisions. Never ride at night and always be aware of your surroundings. Have fun!
