Fast Security Craft for Russia
01 Aug 2006
Swedish boat builder Dockstavarvet delivered a second security craft to Russia last month. Smaller than the first boat, the HSPC 11.3 M was turned over to Moscow based brokers Autogrand Marine Ltd for operation on Russia's inland waterways.
The 11.36m LOA vessel is developed from the IC 16 M, which was itself based on the well known CB 90 H concept adapted for patrol operations. The wheelhouse comprises seating for coxswain and navigator, a sofa for three passengers, a small galley, a head and a working area.
An air draft of less than 3.5m allows the craft to pass under most bridges even at high water.
The HSPC 11.3 M is constructed completely of aluminium and powered by twin 500hp Volvo Penta D9 diesels driving RollsRoyce FF310 waterjets through ZF reduction gearboxes and flexible shaft couplings to provide a sprint speed exceeding 42 knots.
The technical systems installed on the HSPC 11.3 M are based on the proven CB 90 H solutions, developed for and together with the Swedish Navy. The low radar profile of the new design together with its extreme speed resources and manoeuvrability make it a powerful platform for police/security operations.
