THE 16 METRE
FAST RESCUE CRAFT
The advanced composite “Fast Rescue Craft” ONUK MRTP 16®/U
is the extended and improved, water jet driven version of the ONUK MRTP16®.
ONUK MRTP16®/U is developed as a versatile
Multi Role Tactical Platform (MRTP®)
for increasingly tough requirements of the law enforcement and naval forces
to control the littoral and coastal waters.
Internally, the advanced machinery systems and arrangement result in a vessel with greatly enhanced operability, maintainability and accommodation standards.
PRIMARY ROLES
ONUK MRTP16®/U Fast Rescue Craft has
been designed to carry out a wide range of littoral and coastal water
law enforcement-naval duties and open sea rescue, including:
Search and rescue
Sea ambulance
Pilot boat
Police boat
Pollution control
Surveillance
BACKGROUND:
The advanced composite “Fast Rescue Craft” ONUK MRTP16®/U
is an evolution with the extended and improved, water jet driven version
of the ONUK MRTP15® of the Turkish Coast
Guard. Four units of ONUK MRTP16®/U
for the Directorate General of Health Turkish Borders delivered in 2005.
PERFORMANCE:
Speed and seakeeping:
Depending on engine/configuration selection, the proven ONUK KO-02 deep
V hull will enable the boat to reach speeds up to 70 knots in calm waters
and above 50 knots in Sea State 3, allowing rapid reaction comparable
to a helicopter, and can be used in confined spots or heavy weathers not
suitable for helicopter operations. ONUK MRTP16®/U
will be able to operate in heavy sea's performing Search and Rescue duties
up to Sea State 7.
The seakeeping capabilities of the ONUK MRTP16®/U Fast Rescue Craft that derive from the ONUK MRTP15®, used intensively by the Turkish Coast Guard since 1997, are well proven in operation. ONUK MRTP16®/U has a soft and dry ride in adverse conditions. The MJP 450DD water jet drive system provides extreme maneuverability with high precision control and a very shallow draught, enhancing the operation in confined waters or boarding a larger ship in rough seas.
Stability: Intact-Damaged:
Commercial and Turkish / NATO naval standards have been applied to the
ONUK MRTP16®
for the intact and damaged stability. ONUK MRTP16®/U
meets the Turkish Navy and NATO criteria for damaged stability and will
remain afloat and upright with flooding in any single main compartment.
CONSTRUCTION AND COMPONENTS:
ONUK MRTP16®/U is built in advanced
composites to satisfy the very tough requirements of an intensive professional
use together with a long service life. The benefits of the advanced composite
structure are:
WEIGHT REDUCTION
* Improved Performance
* Increased Payload
* Fuel Savings
CORROSION RESISTANCE
*Longer service life
* Maintenance savings
IMPROVED
* Threat avoidance/detection
* Ballistic protection
REDUCED SIGNATURES
* Machinery vibration/acoustic
* Magnetic signature
* Heat signature
The hull and superstructure are constructed in accordance with the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Type Approval Certificate 416.01. All boats of the series are delivered with the relevant DNV Certificates.
A large shock resistant fender system will enable the ONUK MRTP16®/U to board safely larger vessels in rough waters.
The helm station and the interiors have been designed in
line with the SAE recommendations for ergonomics to provide the crew with
maximum comfort and minimum fatigue in prolonged use in heavy seas.
Machinery and propulsion
The mechanical components are selected with the intensive professional
use in mind. They offer a high level of reliability, despite the extreme
performance requirements.
The propulsion is by twin MTU 12V2000M92 diesels and MJP 450DD water jets. Depending on the speed requirements, the ONUK MRTP16®/U can be equipped with different components for optimum operational efficiency / price ratio.
MISSION MODULES
ONUK MRTP16®/U can be equipped with
various mission modules depending on the customer requirements. Despite
the size of the platform, these modules have been integrated with the
modularity and reconfigurability in objectives in mind. Thus, the platform
can be reconfigured with different mission modules, increasing dramatically
the operational flexibility and reducing the costs. The mission modules
would be:
Search and rescue equipment
Sea ambulance equipment with full coroner suite
Multi sensor surveillance suite
Pollution control laboratory
