New Single Screw 10m GRP Workboat

Wright International Ltd now introduces our SINGLE SCREW 10m GRP WORKBOAT. After listening to what you have been saying Wright International Ltd in conjunction with our manufacturers are delighted to offer this SINGLE SCREW 10m GRP WORKBOAT. Many of our customers have said that they do not require twin engine as that is just twice the operating costs of a single engine. After discussing this with the manufacturers and the Naval Architect we have the privilege of delivering the good news for you. As you know it is the hull that determines the speed and not the engine power. So this single screw vessel can do the same speed (30 Knots) as the twin screw and burn only half the fuel whilst operating, lowering the emissions and reduced fuel costs at the same time.

Workboats are designed to do a multitude of roles and that means it is hard to define the perfect workboat as a result. So Wright International Ltd has the perfect solution and that is we will build what YOU are after in a workboat. What Wright International Ltd requires is for you to work out what you are looking for and then we will present to you a quotation for YOUR specification.

•Workboats can have a large aft deck and small wheelhouse or a large wheelhouse and small aft deck, Wright International Ltd can do both.

•Workboats can be single screw, twin screw or stern drive, wright can do all three.

•Workboats can be very basic for use in local rivers as workhorses, Wright International Ltd can deliver as basic as you wish from just the hull to complete to YOUR specification.

Workboats these days are more like Crew Boats and require good accommodation, toilets, showers, hot & cold running water, galley, etc Wright International Ltd can deliver as opulent a finish right up to yacht finish all you have to do is present YOUR specification. To give you an idea of what is possible this is the specification for the last vessel to leave the yard. Remember it is an example and NOT a production run model of this vessel. Many workboat operators are looking for workboats for the Windfarms and this superb vessel comes with a Cat 2 60 miles from safe haven ticket to allow YOU to compete in the latest tenders for workboat operators with a vessel designed by you.

FINANCE AVAILABLE - What is also important to remember is that Wright International Ltd now has its sister company Wright International Marine Finance Ltd waiting to receive your completed application for funding your next workboat especially if it is going to be used on the Windfarms near you.

Engines

ENGINES
When you build a Lloyds approved vessel you have to design the vessel so that every aspect of the build has been thought out and approved BEFORE construction. The designers of this vessel made sure all aspects of this vessel were thoroughly examined to provide a vessel that would operate in safety in any part of the world. The engine room for instance is both heat and sound insulated with approved materials from the rest of the vessel. Ventilation is via vents in the deck house sides and as an added safety feature these are ducted internally to prevent water ingress ate extreme heel angles. The designers have calculated the amount of ventilation required not only for the machinery but for the Crew on board as well. Wright International Ltd WIL 1608 10m WORKBOATS has been designed around the hull and the choice of engines by discussion with the buyer.

EXAMPLE
This Single Screw 10m WORKBOAT has been designed round the Caterpillar C7 DITA (Direct Injection Turbo Assisted) with its in-line 6 cylinder engines delivering 460 BHP (339W/2800 rpm) at around 2800rpm. The manufacturers of these vessels believe in presenting YOU with the latest in technology and these Cat engines were only introduced to the world in May 2007 and they are already being used in the manufacture of these single screw vessels. With its 110mm Bore and 127mm Stroke delivering 7.2 Litres displacement. These engines have direct fuel injection and are turbo charged to deliver the power to this 10m WORKBOAT to work at up to 30 Knots. With fuel costs ever escalating it is therefore mind blowing to realise that when you are doing 30 knots on this single screw 10m workboat you are only burning 95.2 Ltrs per hour, that is just 21 Gallons per hour at maximum speed. Obviously as you slow down so the consumption drops significantly. Working in rivers and harbours you will be able to run all day on this vessel with lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions. The power is transmitted down through the twin disc gearbox down the shaft to the 25Ins four bladed propeller.

Any WORKBOAT has to be able to deliver its crew on demand and that is where the manufacturers of these WIL 1608 10m WORKBOATS have designed in reliability in every aspect of the construction. The engines themselves are mounted on vibration proof mountings on strong bearers. The manufacturers realized that these vessels could be sold to any part of the world and therefore have based the reliability on ensuring that every aspect of the design recognizes this as a principle to work to. They have designed in simplicity of maintaining the engines by allowing good clear access for inspection, observation and routine maintenance and minor repairs to be carried out.

The Wright International Ltd WIL 1608 10M WORKBOATS have been designed as you will see in each of the sections with safety in mind. An example in the engine room is the way the engines are started. A single pole isolation switch is provided for each engine and is mounted on the helmsman`s control panel. This simple but effective method of starting the engine prevents accidental starting of the engines during routine maintenance.

The manufacturers of the WIL 1608 10m WORKBOATS has put safety before cost. Too often these days the construction is centred round cost before safety.

BUNKERAGE
Wright International Ltd WIL 1608 10m WORKBOATS are designed to provide the operators to maximize the potential of these superb vessels. The designers of this vessel taking into consideration how economical they are to run designed the bunkerage on board to be 1100 Litres. This fuel is stored in two aluminium tanks to keep the weight down. The tanks are well baffled to stop the fuel slopping around and they are each fitted with inspection covers and sight gauges. They are filled via water tight, flush deck connections. Again for safety they have designed the tanks so that they can deliver the fuel to the engine from one or both tanks to each engine. The emergency shut offs are operated by and found on the control station at the helm. Duplex fuel filters (changeover type) are fitted to each supply.

ELECTRICAL
The main engines are fitted with alternator units (engine maker supply) charging 4 12-volt batteries linked in series to provide a split 24-volt system, starter batteries/boat load batteries. The main distribution supply is through breaker switches. Electrical power is supplied from Battery Sets which are housed in suitably well ventilated box for supplying the power to lighting, engine starting and essential services.
Emergency services are distributed through a separate board for automatic operation of the electric bilge pumps and fire detection alarm systems.

FIRE DETECTION
Probably one of the worst nightmares is to have a fire at sea. The manufacturers of these Wright International Ltd WIL 1608 10m WORKBOATS did not miss when they designed in the heat detection system with alarms taken back to the control panel at the helm. A remotely operated extinguisher system is installed in the engine space.

BILGE PUMPS and ALARMS
Every boat takes on some amount of water and when the designers of this boat looked at where it was to be used, the weather it could be used in and the fact that these vessels are usually on call 24/7, they made sure the pumps were there to support it. There are 3 (three) electric bilge pumps fitted with float switch triggers in each main compartment and there is also one manual bilge pump. The bilge pumps all discharge above the water line as an additional safety feature. Scuppers cut above the non slip deck

ALARMS – high level alarms are included with indicators in the wheelhouse.

EXHAUSTS
With more and more attention being focused on the environment the exhaust system on board these vessels complies with the rules for Cat 2 vessels.

Construction

10M WORKBOATS are manufactured all over the world in aluminium, GRP and steel they are all trying to find the market they have been designed to serve. Nowadays with Governments all over the world cutting back on expenditure it is very easy to fall into the price driven trap. This is where manufacturers are placing the importance of cost before safety. Wright International Ltd has been long aware that something may cost less initially only proving to be more expensive in the long run with component failure and lack of reliability. When Wright International Ltd sat down with our designers we stressed there was another way and that was to design inherent strength and safety into the vessels by creating a range of vessels and not one vessel for all.

Wright International Ltd is proud to be able to Design, Fund, Build and Deliver these vessels to anywhere in the world. This Wright International Ltd WIL 1608 10m WORKBOATS has been specifically for use in seas up to force 6, Recreational Craft Directive : Design Category B at speeds of up to 30 Knots and constructed to comply with Lloyds Register of Shipping. The GRP construction of these 10M WORKBOATS is based on the well proven hull that is the 10m Workboat. The deep `V` planning hull with the integral spray rails provides a comfortable and safe ride across a wide range of speeds and sea conditions. The manufacturers have designed a very beamy, deep V-shaped hull with a three chine configuration. The outer chine is massive, it has a four degree downturn and all three chines run right through to the transom. The result is an extremely smooth comfortable fast ride for up to fourteen persons. This makes these vessels ideal as safety standby vessels, Crew boats, Dive Charter Vessels, Fishing vessels, WORKBOATS, Fishfarm boats, Windfarm work and of course Survey Work.

10M WORKBOATS throughout the world require to be coded and that is why our designers selected Lloyds Register of Shipping Special Service Craft for the design of the hull, deck and deck house. The machinery and equipment complies with the MCA Cat 2 60 miles from safe haven and Recreational Craft Directive : Design Category B with maximum of 14 persons on board. Both the Manufacturers and Wright International Ltd are well aware that different regions of the world may require alternative manning levels and crew numbers to comply with their authorities that is why these vessels are individually designed and not mass produced.

Cathodic Protection
An approved system of sacrificial cathodic protection is installed.

Painting
The main hull is double gel coated in white, the first layer is in isophthalmic resin.
The lower hull is in white with appropriate water-line mark above the anti foul paint.
The painting scheme and anti-fouling, including all the preparation is as recommended and specified by an approved marine paint supplier.

Hull Material:	GRP
Displacement:	5500 Kg

Accomodation

WHEELHOUSE
The Wright International Ltd WIL 1608 10m WORKBOATS was designed to follow the conventional and classic lines with the wheelhouse forward leaving the maximum working deck space aft to be used for a multitude of roles. This gives the helmsman a clear view of the boarding area. The wheelhouse itself has a cored construction which allows insulation of both heat and sound.

10m WORKBOATS have to go out in all weathers and this means there has to be electronics on board to allow the helmsman to know exactly where he is at all times. The dark matt finish moulded console contains all the engine and steering controls, instrumentation, compass, etc he will ever need. There is ample space for all communication and navigational equipment.

Wipe clean, simple moulded fittings are used to avoid separate trims and panels. Fitted deck covering is of hard wearing, non slip easy clean material.
