  Baltic Workboats completed its first all-new 22-metre wave-piercing aluminium patrol boat Patrol 2200 WP for Belgium Customs

  

  Baltic Workboats has completed its first all-new 22-metre wave-piercing aluminium patrol boat Patrol 2200 WP for Belgium state fleet DAB VLOOT. She has been named Zeeleeuw (Sea lion) and she will serve as a multi-function patrol vessel for Belgium Customs. 

  “Building Zeeleeuw was extremely important step for us as she’s the first patrol craft in our series of wave-piercing vessels and will add another product line to complement our high-speed wave-piercing range of extremely seaworthy boats” said Baltic Workboats Ltd. Director of Sales Jüri Taal. “We hope she’s the first of many to follow”.

  Patrol 2200 WP’s overall length is 21,97m with maximum beam of 6,40m and draft not exceeding 1,75m. Her displacement at full load is approximately 40 tons including 3000 liters of fuel, 500 liters of both water and waste as well as 300 l bilge water tank. 

  The vessel carries a 5-metre RIB at the aft ramp, launchable at speeds up to 8 kn. Therefore the new Patrol 2200 WP has a central wheelhouse compared to aft one used with pilot boat designs. She also has an underdeck messroom with pantry and wc/shower room for improved crew comfort.

  The yard has put an extra effort to keep the noise-levels down so maximum noise registered at wheelhouse during sea trials was 62 dBA at full speed and 60-61 dBA at speeds of 19-21kn.

  She’s powered by twin Volvo Penta D16MH marine diesel engines, 405 kW @ 1800 rpm each, rotating 5-blade fixed-pitch propellers through ZF 665V marine gearboxes.  This powertrain propels the Patrol 2200 WP to maximum speed of 22 knots exceeding contract speed of 20kn with a comfortable margin. The vessel is highly fuel-efficient consuming only total of 133 liters per hour at 20kn patrol speed.

  The Patrol 2200 WP built for DAB VLOOT is equipped to suit the requirements of her future working environment: as an example she has two radars – Simrad ARGUS radar for sea use and special Furuno river radar. Both of the radars are viable on twin 24” widescreen displays also used for ECDIS. There’s also a special office corner for the Customs procedures and a variety of rescue equipment to save lives when on duty.
