The latest boat is 14.75m long, 4.9m wide with a height of 3.2m, draws 1.35m and displaces 27m She is driven by a MAN diesel engine, type MAN D 2840, of 1800revs/min and 346kW, and develops a service patrol speed of 12 knots and a 22 knot top speed over a single fixed propeller. She also has Twindisc gears, ELNA radar and an echolot from Zeeland.

WS25 is identical to WS23, delivered in 2001. However reports noted that the construction price of the earlier boat was 575,000 and that of the latest 546,000. That presumably has to do with cost reductions with series newbuildings.

Having said that however, there was no word of further orders for police boats, although two smaller 7.6m long auxiliary craft with Volvo TAMPD 31 P engines, WS40 and WS41, were handed over last year to German river police authorities.

WS25's hull is of aluminium and her equipment includes a side thruster as well as police radio, ocean and inland radio and river radar. Her initial posting was inland from Hamburg on the Elbe at Lauenburg, which used to be on the border between the old West Germany and the former GDR.
