Tuco Marine Group has signed an agreement to deliver an 11 meter ProZero Mission Master workboat to Kristiansand Municipality. Designed for shallow waters and demanding conditions in the Norwegian archipelago, the vessel offers high manoeuvrability and operational flexibility.

The workboat will support logistics, environmental operations, inspections, and equipment transport. Built from fibre-reinforced composite, it is lightweight, strong, and low-maintenance. Its flexible deck layout, including a bow ramp, allows easy loading of vehicles and equipment.

This marks the third delivery of ProZero workboats to municipalities cooperating with the Norwegian Archipelago Service, reflecting the platform’s continued demand in Norway.

Tuco Marine has released a four-part article series exploring how Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) can enhance the protection and monitoring of critical maritime infrastructure.

With growing hybrid threats, USVs are increasingly valuable for surveillance, intelligence gathering, and situational awareness, including monitoring surface, air, and subsea activity, protecting pipelines and cables, and tracking suspect vessels and drones.

Drawing on Tuco Marine’s experience operating USVs in challenging waters like the North Sea, the series shows how these vessels are shaping the future of maritime security.

Tuco Marine Group has unveiled the 2026 design of its 15-meter ProZero Research Workboat (Design No. 5000-05-40-0), an advanced evolution of a proven platform tailored for offshore survey and scientific operations. This latest version incorporates feedback from field operations to enhance performance, versatility, and crew comfort.

The vessel’s shallow 0.73-meter draft makes it particularly suitable for fishery surveys, subsea mapping, and complex data collection using both mounted and deployable sensors. Constructed from lightweight carbon fibre sandwich with a PVC core, the hull provides exceptional strength, natural buoyancy, and improved onboard comfort even during extended missions.

Powered by twin inboard diesel engines with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, the workboat can reach speeds exceeding 35 knots, while maintaining stability for towing, surface diving, and a wide range of offshore research activities. The 2026 design features a walkaround cabin with panoramic windows for enhanced visibility, dedicated sonar mounts, a robust A-frame, and fully integrated navigation and survey systems.

With these upgrades, the ProZero Research Workboat offers researchers a reliable, high-performance platform for demanding offshore missions, combining speed, flexibility, and advanced technology.

ProZero Ghana is strengthening regional maritime capabilities by combining advanced vessel production with hands-on training.

Based in Takoradi/Sekondi with slipway access via the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority, the facility supports launching, servicing, and testing high-performance boats.

In addition to manufacturing, ProZero Ghana trains local technicians and maritime professionals, bridging international design expertise with regional operational needs. This approach reduces delivery times, improves service support, and builds long-term maritime skills in Ghana, positioning the country as a growing hub for maritime innovation.

Tuco Marine is developing a new 8-meter ProZero Mission Master Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) designed for rapid-response operations in coastal areas, harbors, and inland waterways. The USV’s compact size, maneuverability, and flexible layout make it ideal for confined environments where larger vessels cannot operate efficiently.

Faaborg Sejlklub invites sailors to join Tuco Cup 2026 on 9 May, Denmark’s renowned distance race in the South Funen archipelago. The course takes participants around Avernakø, Lyø, and Bjørnø, offering a unique sailing experience for both competitive crews and recreational sailors.

Tuco Group ApS is expanding its presence in Greenland with its Arctic-capable ProZero passenger and workboats, including 15-meter and 13.5-meter models already in service.

Built on robust, customizable hulls, they are suited for passenger transport, whale watching, sightseeing tours, logistics, and offshore operations, handling Greenland’s remote and challenging maritime conditions.

The 13.5-meter model offers panoramic windows for sightseeing, while the 15-meter version is optimized for higher-capacity passenger transport. Both feature modular layouts, modern navigation and safety systems, and durable fiberglass construction for stability, resilience, and ease of maintenance.

Constructed in Faaborg, Denmark, the vessels combine Danish maritime expertise with Greenlandic partnerships. Their flexible design, low-maintenance build, and operational readiness make them a reliable and versatile choice for Arctic transport, work, and exploration.
