VT Delivers Fast Strike

Craft

Vosper Thornycroft (U.K.) Ltd.'s (VT) project to build four fast strike craft for the Qatar

Emiri Navy reached a milestone with the han- dover of the first-of-class vessel QENS Barzan at Portchester Shipyard on May 9. The 183.7- ft. (56-m) ship was formally accepted by

Brigadier General Said Al Sowaidi, comman- der of the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces, who stat- ed: "Many shipyards in Europe declined such a challenge to build a platform that is so advanced with so many state-of-the-art fea- tures. But I am glad that VT accepted it. They have built what they promised and consequent- ly I would like to see a continuing relationship between my navy and British industry."

QENS Barzan is propelled by four MTU diesel engines, each driving through a reverse/reduction gearbox into a fixed propeller.

The vessel is also equipped with VT's new advanced machinery control and surveillance system. VT is scheduled to deliver the second vessel of the series, QENS Huwar, later this year. The third vessel, QENS Al Udeid, was launched in March and the final vessel will be launched in August.
