Engines

At 2590 miles in length the River Niger is the 11th longest river in the world. What makes the Niger stand out is generates its wealth not from traditional means like fishing and trade, but from the far more lucrative trade of OIL. Strange how that word OIL always brings with it a sinister side to human behaviour and that is where this vessel has been designed to be on hand to solve any problems. This vessel is powered by twin inline six cylinder turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engines with latest state of the art electronic engine management.

2 x MTU 6R183 TE93 rated at 595BHP at 2300rpm produce the power and transmit it down through the twin ZF IRM350A1 reduction gearboxes with their 1.286:1 reduction to the twin FF410 waterjets. The drives will be FF410 water jets. The waterjets will incorporate a fully hydraulic controls in the main console.The steering and bucket controls are fully hydraulically operated with individual electronic control boxes and engine driven hydraulic pumps.

That is what makes this vessel DESIGNED FOR THE RIVER NIGER.

This combination allows a maximum of 40 knots or its economic cruising speed of 32 knots will deliver you 440 Nautical Mile range.

Construction

Wright International Ltd is aware that the world demand on fast Patrol Craft exceeds the supply. That is why these vessels are so attractive. Being made entirely from aluminium we can build them on a fast track programme to suit the demand on them. The vessel will be built entirely from marine grade aluminium fully welded throughout. The vessel is to be constructed entirely from marine grade aluminium alloy 5083 H321 or 54086 H32 plate and 6061 T6 for extrusions. Welding will be done using both Mig and Tig methods. Hull plating will be seamed and butted using Mig welding with alloy backing bars. All welding will be in accordance to the classification society requirements.

The hull structure is designed with four watertight bulkheads, including the collision bulkhead, all designed to resist water column pressure above the deck as stated by the classification rules. All penetrations through the bulkheads for pipes, electrical cables etc., will be via watertight glands.

Each bilge area will have access via manholes or removable panels in the sole. The internal structure will be provided with appropriate limbering to ensure that no pockets of water collect adjacent to any part of the internal structure.

CLASSIFICATION & CERTIFICATES
The structure is to be designed and built to DNV rules for high speed craft.

BUILDING STANDARDS
Where practical, all materials employed in the construction of the vessel are to conform to the appropriate British standard and to be of the best marine quality available.

NOISE & VIBRATION
Every reasonable effort will be made within the design and during the build to insure noise levels within the wheelhouse & crew accommodation areas are kept to a minimum.

HULL & DECK CONSTRUCTION
The hull, deck and superstructure will be transversely and longitudinally framed with fabricated and extruded aluminium sections. High stress area will be reinforced with doubler plates and local reinforcement as required. Particular attention will be given to ensuring the engine mountings are designed to minimize engine vibration. The inside of the hull and superstructure in way of the crew seating area will be lined with ballistic grade Kevlar approximately 50mm thick.

INTERIOR
