Past event: Fast Interception & Riverine 2015 Conference

Leave the competition in your wake...

At the go to conference for sub 24m craft operating in confined and shallow coastal and riverine environments.


Fast interception craft are a growing presence in maritime operations globally. Craft are expected to deliver high speeds and offer maximum endurance for crews performing complex missions. Applications range from special operations to counter piracy, counter narcotics and immigration control.

Mission success and crew safety in the brown water environment can depend on understanding the unique demands of riverine, estuary and shallow water operations. Riverine craft need to be rugged and self sufficient to support flexible operational requirements, often in uncharted waters.

Fast Interception & Riverine 2015 will bring together the experts under one roof to tackle the major concerns and share operational feedback.

With over 20 nations represented at its 2014 launch, the 2015 Fast Interception & Riverine event will deliver high level discussions on:
  • Maximising performance: striking the balance between manoeuvrability, speed and endurance
  • Operating environments: in shallow and confined water from coastal to riverine environments
  • Mission sets: from multi mission to single mission platforms and unmanned craft
In 2015 ensure you have a front row seat to learn from the latest case studies and gain insight into active requirements. Hear from military, coastguard and blue light users about their experiences, their challenges, and the solutions they need.
