12.7 mm machine guns. two 6.20 m RHIB are on board, at the back of the

superstructure is in aluminum. There are 36 crew aboard. It is propelled
by two Caterpillar 3516C HD that provide 3.434 hp and allow a fully load
speed of 22 knt.
An other Offshore patrol vessel, the OPV 45 is also presented on the Raido

OPV 45 was launched in October 10, 2014. OPV 45 is 45.6 m long and 8.4

Raidco Marine presents
its RPB 33 at EURONAVAL 2014
Raidco Marine also
exhibits two types of quite similar ships. PHM 33 and RPB 33 are patrol
boats with deep-sea surveillance capability. The two ships have the same
dimensions. The main difference between the ships resides in the hull
material. The PHM 33's hull is made of steel while that of RPB 33 is GRP
(Glass-reinforced plastic), a composite material, made. This composite
hull enables the RPB 33 to reach the speed of 30 knt, when the PHM 33
can only reach 22 knt. Both of them can be armed up to a 30 mm gun and
some 12.7 mm machine gun. One 6.2 m RHIB is also on board.
