The 30MFE (Multi-Fuel Engine) is a 30 horse power model of the popular Evinrude outboard, used for years by maritime forces. This family of motors are the first outboard engines ever capable of running on multiple fuel types, including kerosene, JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, Jet A and Jet B as well as standard gasoline. Additionally, the 30 Horse Power model is going to be easier to man handle when afloat and configuring your boat after a successful RAMZ drop.

SOFIC 2014 – Paratech

Wednesday, May 21st, 2014

Paratech has developed a new maritime damage control shoring system. The current state of the art consists of centrally located wooden shoring that must be measured and cut to size. The new Paratech Damage Control System is easier to use, offers considerably more strength then the traditional wood method and is will not succumb to fire threats like wood which will combust. Additionally, there are no mold or mildew threats or corrosion.

Recently adopted by a European Navy, the system has been deployed on their ships in various locations on the ship increasing reaction times.
