Successful partnership

20mx10m Riverine & Harbour Patrol Boat

ling and 30m & 35m x 14m
models for littoral and offshore
patrolling with a 50m version
"on the drawing board".
Carbon fibre absorbs radar
signals and the stealth shape
of the larger models will
enable the patrol boat to come

within visual range of suspicious vessels without being
detected. The four-engine
foil-assisted versions provide
intercept speeds of 50+ knots
but they can be operated more
economically, at lower speeds,
on two of the four engines for
patrols of longer duration.

With over thirty years' experience designing, building and
project managing catamaran
construction, now is the time
for TMD to become directly
involved in the building of
its own patrol boats. The
company will do this in
conjunction with its Danish
shipbuilding partner, Tuco
Marine Group (TMG). TMG
has built over 200 composite
vessels up to and including
35-metre carbon fibre catamaran ferries, and is considered an expert carbon fibre
composite boat builder with
a very experienced workforce.
TMD will project manage the
prototype build and sea trials,
the production set up, production mould construction and
introduce its production line
build procedures. The global

offshore wind farm (OWF)
market uses power catamarans
almost exclusively to take
work crews and equipment
out to the construction site
and back every day during
the installation period, and to
carry out regular maintenance
and breakdown service during
each wind farm's 25-year life
cycle.
Between the navy patrol boat
market and the OWF market,
the company expects to be
very busy over the next ten
years. Due to the serious need
for patrol boats, this market is
not affected by global financial
fluctuations. n
