AISTER Delivers the New MZ10 Fisheries Inspection Vessel to the Consell Insular d’Eivissa

With a functional and modern design, a length of 9.4 meters, and two 300 HP outboard engines, the MZ10 exceeds 45 knots while ensuring comfortable and agile navigation.

Following the awarding of the contract through a public tender for the design and construction of a fisheries inspection patrol boat for the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, AISTER began the design phase last April, followed by the manufacturing of this first MZ10 model. Now, after seven months of construction, the vessel has been launched, delivered, and is already operating in Mediterranean waters.

Speed ​​and agility, strong points of the MZ range

Like the MZ12s for the Andalusian Regional Government currently under construction at the Moaña shipyard, the MZ10 stands out for its agility and top speed, characteristics that make it the perfect vessel for fisheries inspection work in coastal and port areas.

With a length of 9.4 meters and a beam of 3.1 meters, the AISTER MZ10 is equipped with two 300 HP outboard engines that allow it to exceed 45 knots. It features a polyethylene foam core cleat coated with polyurethane and excellent hydrodynamics thanks to its deep-V hull made of naval aluminum.

The vessel also stands out for its control cabin, providing almost 360° visibility, one of the most significant features of the MZ range and ensuring easy docking and maneuverability. It also features a toilet, a fully equipped console with the latest electronic equipment, and all the necessary tools for inspection work.

A modern and functional design, capable of reaching high speeds and specifically designed to perform its task, while its structure and equipment ensure reliability and comfort while sailing in all types of conditions.

After completing the construction, outfitting, and initial testing in the Vigo estuary, the MZ10 was transported to Ibiza for delivery and final on-site assessments before beginning work in Mediterranean waters.

The completion of this project marks a new milestone for AISTER, closing out a successful 2022 in which the evolution of its designs and construction once again places us at the forefront of the sector. Our adaptability, combined with the performance offered by naval aluminum construction, allows us to be open to the needs of each shipowner to meet the objectives of each project.
