Masters of Agility in the
Western Hemisphere
Nature’s most vicious hunters, jaguars
are the most powerful cats in the Western
Hemisphere. Their paramount physical
features make them not only powerful but
also fast and agile. Evolution has given them
a great gift: a sturdy jaw that makes them
the perfect hunter. They owe their power not
to their size but their immaculate muscle
structure, enabling them to pull a 300-500 kg
kill up a tree. Their muscle-bound legs also
make them a superb swimmer.

During building or after delivery highly
qualified UZMAR field engineers and captains
provide a free in-house and/or onboard
technical and operational familiarization and
scheduled maintenance training programs
for Owners’ captains, engineers and crew.
When required, the same scheduled training
program can be provided abroad at worldwide
locations.
