Raidco Marine also exhibits two types of quite similar ships. PHM 33 and RPB 33 are patrol boats with deep-sea surveillance capability. The two ships have the same dimensions. The main difference between the ships resides in the hull material. The PHM 33's hull is made of steel while that of RPB 33 is GRP (Glass-reinforced plastic), a composite material, made. This composite hull enables the RPB 33 to reach the speed of 30 knt, when the PHM 33 can only reach 22 knt. Both of them can be armed up to a 30 mm gun and some 12.7 mm machine gun. One 6.2 m RHIB is also on board.
