20 Boats. One Mission. Ultra Marine EX Series on the Bug River
Proven Solutions for Those Who Keep Our Waters Safe
Another 20 boats from the EX Series have been delivered to volunteer fire brigades (OSP) in eastern Poland as part of an initiative coordinated by Euroregion Bug.
Supplied in cooperation with our long-standing partner, FHU HERO, the boats will support local emergency services in water rescue, flood response and operations on shallow inland waterways.
For Ultra Marine, this delivery represents more than another completed project. It continues a history of supplying practical aluminium boats to Poland’s eastern regions that goes back over a decade.
20 boats. A shared commitment to emergency readiness.
The latest delivery forms part of the Euroregion Bug initiative supporting volunteer fire brigades in the Polish-Ukrainian border region.
The project, “OSP na straży środowiska. Transgraniczne działania zapobiegające skutkom zmian klimatu”, is supported by the Interreg NEXT Poland–Ukraine 2021–2027 programme. Its broader objective is to strengthen emergency preparedness and improve the equipment available to local fire and rescue services. The delivery includes 20 flat-bottom aluminium rescue boats, Yamaha outboard engines and boat trailers. For the receiving fire brigades, these boats provide an additional practical tool for carrying out operations on rivers and other inland waters
Built for the conditions. Designed for the mission.
Rivers like the Bug present specific challenges for emergency crews. Shallow sections, changing water levels and limited access to the shoreline all influence how rescue operations are carried out. In these environments, the right boat needs to offer more than just the ability to navigate. It must be straightforward to transport and launch, provide a stable working platform and allow rescuers to operate efficiently with their equipment.
This is where the Ultra Marine EX Series comes into its own. Designed primarily for inland waters, these flat-bottom aluminium boats combine shallow draft, functional deck layouts and durable welded construction.
Their design makes them particularly suitable for:
-Shallow-water rescue and search operations
-Flood response and support activities
-Transporting rescue personnel and essential equipment
-Accessing riverbanks and areas with limited launching infrastructure
The EX Series focuses on the features that matter in day-to-day professional use.
More than a decade of experience on eastern Poland’s waterways.
While this particular handover involves 20 boats, it is far from the first time Ultra Marine vessels have been supplied to this part of Poland. For over 10 years, we have manufactured similar aluminium boats for users operating on eastern Poland’s rivers, lakes and inland waterways. This experience has helped shape our approach to building boats for professional applications.
We understand that rescue and utility boats are working equipment. Their value lies in practical functionality, durability and the ability to support the people who rely on them.
The latest delivery is another example of that approach — and of the continued role of our EX Series in inland water operations.
Aluminium workboats with a clear purpose.
From compact utility boats to specialised rescue and flood-response configurations, the Ultra Marine EX Series has been developed around real operational requirements.
Flat-bottom hulls, shallow draft and practical arrangements allow these boats to be used across a wide range of inland environments. And although every project comes with different requirements, our approach remains consistent: build durable, functional boats that are suited to the work they are expected to perform.
Twenty more boats are now in the hands of those who need them.
And that is exactly why we build them for.
We build boats that truly work.

EX Series – flat-bottom aluminium boats
The EX Series includes flat-bottom aluminium boats designed for rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other inland waters. Their straightforward and durable construction, shallow draft and functional deck space make them well suited to everyday professional and utility tasks.
Depending on the model and configuration, EX boats can be used for technical and service work, shoreline and infrastructure inspections, marina operations, fire and rescue duties, diving support, transport of personnel and equipment, and selected inland fishing applications.
The flat-bottom hull provides good stability during low-speed operations and while stationary. At the same time, shallow draft helps the boat reach areas where larger vessels have limited access.
The range includes compact models such as EX300 and EX410, as well as larger boats including EX420, EX490, EX550 FLOOD and EX600.
Depending on their intended use, EX boats can be equipped with control consoles, targa arches, stern platforms, ladders, additional lighting and specialised work equipment.
The EX Series therefore offers a practical range of flat-bottom aluminium workboats for different tasks on inland waters.
