Patrol boat A45 – Rapidity & Maneuverability

Purpose-built design:

The boat is designed to perform multi-mission patrol duties as well as for call missions in the near offshore area, open roads of sea ports and harbors and on inland waterways. Modern two MTU diesel engines direct coupled to Water jets give shallow draft and the best maneuverability. Their cost-effectiveness and speed (50 kn) makes the A45 ultimate and reliable patrol/research boat for air/sea rescue, offshore environmental, territorial protection, coastal policing. A45 will be the multi-mission craft capable of performing Search and Rescue (SAR), Law Enforcement (LE), and Fisheries patrols, as well as drug interdiction (DI) and illegal alien interdiction duties in coastal waters.

The possible missions may include:

• protection and control of sea-lines within territorial waters
• surveillance of economic (fishing) zone
• protection of sea ports, offshore and coastal structures
• offshore environmental patrolling
• fishery surveillance and protection tasks
• customs functions
• coastal policing
• drug interdiction
• search and rescue
• salvage, dive, research
• offshore commercial
