Repurposed vessel to debut at Seawork
Turner Iceni will be exhibiting a new CTV vessel at Seawork 2019 which has been built with recycled and repurposed materials to achieve sprint speeds of 30 knots.
The Iceni Revenge is based on the 20m South Boats IOW-built Don Quixote, purchased by Turner Iceni in January from Vroon. Iceni Revenge has been lengthened to 23m and now incorporates 20,000 litres of fuel storage.
Richard Thurlow, director at Turner Iceni, said: “Taking an asset that has seen better days, then recycling and repurposing it for today’s market is, we believe, a first for the industry – one we have achieved together with Diverse Marine on the Isle of Wight.”
Powerful engines
Diverse Marine was involved in the development and build of the donor vessel and also assisted during its lengthening and refit.
Iceni Revenge has been re-engined with twin MAN V12-1400 main engines and Hamilton HM651 jets, incorporating a new AVX control system and jet anchor. It is capable of a continuous operational speed in excess of 25 knots at 85% engine load.
The updated bridge features a JRC JMA5210-6 IMO main radar system with a Furano TZ Pro second radar, together with seating for up to three crew.
