The MTM217 class is a vehicle crafted to support amphibious military action. The boats were designed for the transport of troops and ground vehicles, as part of landing operations on the coasts. These models are required and employed by all major navy forces, for their versatility. The hull construction material is steel. Eight of these craft are used as reserve craft by San Marco Marine Brigade at Brindisi Naval Station homeport.
