#0602 16m Malaysian Customs KB5

 

Designed by LOMOcean specifically for the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, this design was a production run of nine units.

 

Intended as an ambush and fast interceptor craft, the boats are capable of a sprint speed of 50 knots from twin 1200hp V12 MAN diesels at mid loading.

 

Driven by Seafury surface drives, the boats have exceptionally good handling characteristics, with high levels of maneuverability and good rough weather capabilities. With a fuel capacity of 4000 litres, the boat has a range of 450 nautical miles (10% reserve) at 40 knots.

Accommodating two officers and four crew in fully air conditioned comfort, the interior fitout includes galley, mess and head/shower facilities.

 

Constructed in advanced composite materials, the boat was designed for high levels of toughness, utilising materials such as Adhesive Technologies epoxy resins, Dupont’s Kevlar cloths and ATC’s Corecell foams.

 

The hulls are classed to Det Norske Veritas High Speed and Light Craft certification with a 3g maximum allowable deceleration at the longitudinal centre of gravity.
