Durable Aluminum Landing Craft
Landing Craft Categories
Our landing craft range spans multiple hull types and sizes. From 6m open-console workboats to 18m fully enclosed wheelhouse vessels, each model is built with marine-grade 5083 aluminum (6–7mm bottom plating, 4–5mm sides). Flat-bottom and shallow-V hulls maximize stability and beachability. Large bow ramps allow rapid loading, and payload capacities reach 13~14 tons on larger boats. Wheelhouse variants include cabins for protected navigation, while console models offer open decks – all designed for cargo and personnel transfer in tough marine conditions.
Application
Cargo & Equipment Transport
Haul construction materials, heavy machinery or bulk cargo between ports and river sites. Flat decks and heavy-duty ramps enable quick loading of trucks and equipment.
Island & Coastal Services
Resupply islands and coastal works in shallow harbors. Serve offshore projects (oil/gas, aquaculture) or ferry vehicles to beaches, thanks to shallow draft and rugged hull design.
Military & Defense
Transport troops, vehicles and supplies to remote or undeveloped shore areas. Ideal for amphibious and security missions.
Emergency Relief
Deliver emergency aid, rescue teams and equipment to disaster zones. Reach isolated coasts or flooded regions where other boats can’t go.
Advantages
Allsealion landing craft boats combine rugged build with versatile design.
Small Boats (6–9m)
Models: 6m Landing Craft, 7.9m Console Landing Craft, 7.9m Wheelhouse Landing Craft, 9m Console Landing Craft, 9m Wheelhouse Landing Craft.
Shallow-water maneuverability: These small craft have flat bows and very shallow drafts, allowing direct beach landings in minimal water depth. Their hulls are engineered for littoral operation, providing high maneuverability even at slow speeds in confined nearshore environments.
Lightweight, efficient design: Built from aluminum, these boats are exceptionally light for their size. This low hull weight boosts payload capacity and fuel efficiency – operators can carry more cargo or use smaller engines for the same boat size. The 5083 aluminum alloy is also highly corrosion-resistant, improving durability in harsh marine conditions.
Medium Boats (10–12m)
Models: 10m Wheelhouse Landing Craft, 11m Console Flat Landing Craft, 11m Console Shallow V Landing Craft, 11m Wheelhouse Landing Craft, 12m Wheelhouse Landing Craft.
Heavy-duty cargo capacity: Medium landing craft feature reinforced aluminum hulls and broad beams, creating a stable platform for trucks and heavy equipment. Their robust build supports direct roll-on/roll-off beach landings under load – some designs accommodate very large vehicles (on the order of 9–10 tonnes) and bulk cargo without compromising stability.
Versatile multi-mission use: These models can ferry vehicles, supplies or personnel in a single trip, reducing the need for multiple runs. With flat bow ramps, shallow drafts and optional enclosed wheelhouses, they access beaches and riverbanks that deeper-draft vessels cannot, efficiently supporting tasks like construction logistics, disaster relief or island transport.
Large Boats (13–18m)
Models: 13m Wheelhouse Landing Craft, 14m Console Landing Craft, 18m Wheelhouse Landing Craft, 18m Luxury Leisure Landing Craft.
Massive payload and stability: Large landing crafts have vast open decks and very strong construction to carry heavy equipment and bulk cargo. Some designs handle payloads up to hundreds of tonnes (typical designs 13–14 t) while enabling direct bow ramp beaching. They can offload heavy vehicles in as little as ~1m of water depth.
Extended range and endurance: These vessels are built for long-range missions. They sustain service speeds around 15 knots and carry fuel for 200–700 nautical mile ranges (about 3-5 days’ autonomy at sea). Their advanced hull designs (e.g. tribow forms) even allow speeds exceeding 30 knots in lighter-load conditions with minimal speed loss in waves.

FAQs & Answers
What is a landing craft boat and its main purpose?
A landing craft is a workboat with a flat or shallow hull and bow ramp, used to carry vehicles, cargo or personnel to shore. It bridges ship-to-shore gaps in ports or beaches, enabling easy roll-on/roll-off of trucks and equipment.
Why are landing craft boats typically made of aluminum alloy?
High-grade aluminum (like marine 5083) is much stronger and more corrosion-resistant than steel or fiberglass. It keeps the hull light for fuel efficiency while ensuring long life. Aluminum is easily welded and repaired, and its buoyancy makes the boat virtually unsinkable.
What is the typical payload capacity of a landing craft?
Payload depends on size: for example, a 7.9 m craft carries about 2.5 t, whereas an 11 m model carries ≈8.5 t. With reinforced hulls (5–6 mm bottom plating) these boats safely handle heavy cargo and vehicles within their rated loads.
