According
to Wisdom Nwagwu, General Manager of C&I Leasing, the latest delivery
will bring the total number of this type of vessels to seven in its
fleet. In addition, Damen deliver an eight metre RHIB for up to ten
passengers.
The boats have a length of 16.15m, a beam of 5.40m and a depth at sides
of 1.85m. Their construction is based on aluminum for the hull and GRP
composite materials for the superstructure.
Propulsion is provided by two Rolls Royce waterjets powered by two Caterpillar
C18 engines. Maximum speed is at 30 knots and maximum range at that
speed is 210nm. The Stan Patrol 1605 vessels can accommodate a crew
of six, which will be protected by a bullet-proof structure.
Damen Service Hub in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, will provide the after
sales support and on-site training. Martin Verstraaten, Damen Regional
Service Manager Africa, said on the occasion of the delivery: “The
establishment of the Service Hub ensures a local presence with quick
response times with Field Service Engineers and a local Site Manager
on the ground. This dynamic team maintains close contact with local
repair facilities, cooperation with local suppliers and reinforces the
strong relationship with our customers.” |
