Tempest Completes Patrol

Boat

Tempest Engineering com- pleted a new Tempest 44-ft. (13.4-m) patrol boat for a

Middle Eastern client. The boat is an enclosed wheelhouse version of the Fast Coastal

Interceptor (FCI) model used by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The craft is laid up with fire retardant resin. It has a 25- degree deadrise FRP monohull with aluminum superstruc- ture.

The vessel is powered by twin 375-hp Caterpillar 3208 TA diesel engines coupled to a sur- face piercing T-Torque drive system. With this set up, the top speed is 50 mph.

The boat is also equipped with a 4.2-kW generator and a strong air conditioning system.

The R. Allan-designed Firoboai 2 was built for the Royal

Hong Kong Marine Department for service within the coastal territories of Hong Kong. The vessel was built in Singapore by Greenbay Marine. The hull construction of the 105-ft. (32-m) vessel is all-welded ABS-grade steel. The deckhouse, wheelhouse and upper works are welded marine-grade aluminum alloy. The vessel is powered by Caterpillar 3508TA main engines, each rated 716 kW at 1,800 rpm, driving Ulstein 22-AGSC CP propellers through an Ulstein reverse/reduction gearbox. The vessel's firefighting system compris- es three main fire pumps, two of which are driven by PTO off the front end of each main engine, one driven by an independent diesel. The system's pump capacity is 5,400 Ipm (x3) at 15 bar. 62 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
