Kuvaus
English: Pictured are members of the 52 (Port) Squadron from 17 Port and Maritime Regiment manning a Mexeflote.

They are pictured preparing to off load a number of wheeled and tracked vehicles to a beach head.

The Royal Logistics Corps (RLC) soldiers use a Mexeflote to ferry from a Roll on Roll off (RORO) ship to a secure beach heads.

The Mexeflote is a landing raft used by the British Royal Logistic Corps to move goods and vehicles between ship and shore. It was first used by British military in the 1960s. It was used during the Falklands conflict, and has been used in humanitarian aid missions.

In 1994, the Army ordered an additional 50 units, and in 2000 they upgraded 60 of the rafts. The Mexeflote was used during the 2010 Haiti earthquake, to transport supplies to the remote Haitian village of Anse-à-Veau from RFA Largs Bay.

Currently the rafts are manned by the Royal Logistic Corps and they are largely used by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary's Bay class landing ships.

Mexeflote is a powered raft (two diesel engines), used to move goods and vehicles between ship and shore when a pier is not available. The Mexeflote is designed in three sizes; the standard size is 20.12 metres (66.0 ft) in length and 7.32 metres (24.0 ft) in width, with a capacity of 60,000 kilograms (130,000 lb).Two larger versions (Maxi-Mexeflote) are available; the 38.41 by 7.32 metres (126.0 ft × 24.0 ft) combination has a capacity of 120,000 kilograms (260,000 lb), while the 38.41 by 12.2 metres (126.0 ft × 40.0 ft) combination has a capacity of 180,000 kilograms (400,000 lb). Each version has three components; bow, stern, and centre, which can be fitted together as required, making the Mexeflote a versatile craft. The different sections allow it to be used as a raft, a floating pontoon, or as a causeway from ship to shore.
