FAST PATROL
VESSELS
David M Cannell and Associates has been designing
vast patrol vessels and work boats for over thirty years and our
designs are in operation world wide with national authorities and
organisations. Our designs are characterised by exceptional load
carrying ability and low power requirements together with excellent
sea keeping qualities. |

As just two examples,
the UK Sea Fisheries Authority, Eastern Sea Fisheries Joint
Committee operates "ESF Protector III", a 23.5 metre twin screw
patrol vessel with controllable pitch propellers and a 6.7m RIB
daughter vessel which is ramp launched and recovered. "Protector
III" is constructed in GRP and powered by twin Caterpillar 3412's is
capable of up to 30 knots. The crew report they seldom make passages
at less than 20 knots, whatever weather conditions. "Protector III"
was launched in 1994 and has since proved extremely effective in her
role. The vessel complies with the UK MCA Code of Practice for the
Safety of Workboats. |
| "Protector III"'s tank
tested hull design has sisters ranging from 21 to 30m in length,
constructed in either FRP/GRP, aluminium alloy or steel. |

The 16 metre patrol boats pictured are operated
by police and military forces in the Caribbean and Middle East.
Capable of speeds over 35 knots, these vessels can be powered by
either twin screw or twin water jets and again, can be built in GRP
or aluminium alloy. |
