Developed in direct response to a need in the market for a vessel that provides a more stable work platform and a substantially more manageable working environment, in even the harshest of conditions.
Features
Improved propulsive efficiency and better economy, over a much wider speed range.
Can handle a helicopter or UAV, and deploy and recover an interceptor or rescue boats; equivalent to a 70m monohull, but at a significantly reduced initial and lifetime cost.
Offers the same efficiency in a low-speed patrolling or standby role as a displacement monohull, but with the capability to attain the same speeds as an equivalently sized planing hull, or substantially larger semi-displacement hull.
Depending on the propulsion package, this vessel can comfortably reach 40knots, with the ability to maintain relatively high speeds in worsening conditions.
