Australia’s Incat Crowther has announced that it has signed a contract to design 50m multi-mission monohull patrol vessels for the Philippines Government.
Built in Manila by Josefa Slipways, the vessels will help combat illegal fishing by enhancing law enforcement’s capabilities to patrol and protect territorial waters.
The vessels will have a spacious aft working deck to accommodate both a rescue craft launched from a deck crane as well as 9m RHIB deployed from a specially designed well with a transom door.
Powered by two Mitsubishi S16R2-T2MPTK engines, the vessels will be coupled with Masson MM W18000 gearboxes and fixed pitch propellers.
The vessels' electrical needs will be serviced by two Yanmar 6HAL2-WHT generators.
Below deck are the engine, control and equipment rooms as well as full accommodation for 42 personnel.
Accommodation for officers and engineers is on the mid deck. Forward in the mid deck is a conference room with a capacity of 14 personnel.
The large pilothouse gives an unobstructed view forward and plenty of desk area for electronics and charts. It also has sleeping quarters for two pilots.
It will be operated by the Department of Agriculture (DA) with its operating agency, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).
