First 22m wave-piercing patrol craft hull completed at Baltic Workboats shipyard
Baltic Workboats shipyard says the first hull of an all-new wave-piercing 22m patrol boat was completed in late February. The vessel is now sent to assembly and is due to be delivered to a Belgian customer later this year.
The Patrol 22 WP is a further development of the shipyard’s super-efficient 20m wave-piercing platform already operated by a number of shipowners across Europe. With extended hull and increased beam the Patrol 22 WP is expected to continue the success of her smaller sisters and prove to be yet another hit.
She is to be powered by twin Volvo Penta D16MH using ZF665V gearboxes to reach a contract speed of 20 knots.
