AISTER MZ10: Fisheries Inspection Patrol Vessel for the Consell Insular
Professional aluminium patrol vessel for coastal surveillance and fisheries inspection
The AISTER MZ10 is a professional fisheries inspection and coastal surveillance vessel, designed and built in marine-grade aluminium to deliver high performance, operational reliability and safety in maritime control missions. This unit has been developed for the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, enhancing the capabilities of the Servei de Pesca in monitoring, control and protection of the marine environment.
Thanks to its combination of speeds exceeding 40 knots, excellent manoeuvrability and a design focused on professional operations, the MZ10 stands out as an effective solution for public authorities requiring robust, versatile vessels adapted to intensive use.
Technical specifications
Naval engineering and operational performance
The MZ10 patrol vessel is part of AISTER’s MZ range, a series of professional vessels with a design widely proven in surveillance, patrol and inspection missions. Its single-hull structure in marine-grade aluminium has been developed to provide an optimal balance between structural strength, lightness and durability, enabling safe and efficient operation in demanding maritime environments.
The vessel is powered by two 300 hp Yamaha outboard engines, a configuration that delivers and ensures immediate and reliable response across the full speed range. Thanks to this propulsion system and the optimised hull form, the MZ10 is capable of reaching maximum speeds in excess of 40 knots, while maintaining stable and controlled behaviour even in adverse sea conditions.
Configuration and equipment focused on professional inspection
The MZ10 has been conceived as a maritime working platform, with deck design and space layout directly responding to the operational needs of an inspection patrol vessel. The craft features a large working deck area, facilitating crew movement and the execution of manoeuvres during control operations.
Bow access and reduced bulwark heights allow quick and safe interaction with the surrounding environment, supporting boarding, disembarkation and inspection tasks. The inclusion of a rigid perimeter fender protects the hull from the frequent contact encountered during operational berthing or manoeuvres alongside other vessels.
The overall configuration is prepared for the integration of navigation systems, communications and mission-support equipment, ensuring a functional, safe and adaptable environment for the various scenarios inherent to maritime surveillance.
A patrol vessel serving fisheries surveillance for the Consell Insular d´Eivissaa
The MZ10 has been built for the Consell Insular d’Eivissa and will be operated by the Servei de Pesca, playing an essential role in fisheries inspection and coastal surveillance tasks in the island’s waters. Its primary mission is to ensure compliance with current regulations, contributing to the protection of marine resources and the control of fishing activity.
The combination of speed, range and manoeuvrability enables this patrol vessel to carry out effective patrols both in coastal areas and in port environments, acting in both a preventive and reactive manner in the face of potential infringements. The MZ10 thus becomes a strategic asset within the Consell’s maritime control framework.
A new benchmark in inspection and maritime control patrol vessels
The MZ10 represents a modern and efficient solution within the segment of professional inspection patrol vessels, delivering significant improvements in terms of performance, safety and operational sustainability. Its construction in marine-grade aluminium helps reduce maintenance costs and extend the service life of the vessel, aspects of particular relevance for institutional fleets.
This project highlights AISTER’s capability to develop vessels specifically designed for maritime control missions, raising standards of efficiency and reliability compared to conventional solutions.
Consolidation of AISTER´s market position
The delivery of the MZ10 to the Consell Insular d’Eivissa consolidates AISTER’s position as a shipyard specialised in professional aluminium vessels for public authorities. This project underlines the company’s track record in the design and construction of inspection and surveillance patrol vessels, demonstrating its ability to provide solutions tailored to the technical and operational requirements of each client.
The MZ10 therefore joins a broad portfolio of projects that attest to AISTER’s experience, technical expertise and reliability, strengthening its reputation as a benchmark supplier within the professional naval sector.
