In the late 1990s, the Finnish Navy began to modernise the mobility and equipment of coastal defence forces. Marine Alutech Oy Ab designed and developed the WATERCAT M12, a new type of troop carrier for the Finnish Marines for landing and transportation purposes in all weather conditions.

The water jet system gives the boat excellent manoeuvrability and can stop almost within one boat’s length from full ahead. An essential advantage in coastal use is that the bottom of the boat is perfectly smooth, enabling the boat to operate in very shallow waters safely.
