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.
