РТ14МТ project boat is designed for operation at inland water ways of the Russian Federation during both day-time and night-time. The new project is based on project МРВ14 (series of six multi-purpose boats built in 2012 and delivered to the customer – Rosmorport).
The boat is equipped with the propulsive system IPS 450 which made a good showing at project МРВ14. Endurance has been improved to 500 km due to increased volume of fuel tanks. РТ14МТ boat has the same full rated speed of 22 knots despite the increased length and displacement.
To the extent possible the hull is made of 1561aluminium alloy panels which decreased the hull weight and the labor content. Another aspect, which is very important for the customers – all those improvements were made without changing the boat cost.
Major characteristics: RRR Class «+О 2.0/1.2 glider», LOA – 15.5 m, BOA- 4.36 m, draught – 1.25 m, speed - 22 knots.
