P187 | REEF RUNNER 16
The Reefrunner 16 Pilot Vessel, showcased in the provided KND data card, is a robust commercial craft specifically engineered to handle harsh sea states and ensure safe pilot transfers. Built with a marine-grade aluminium planing hull and a matching aluminium wheelhouse superstructure, this durable vessel features a length overall of 15.86 meters, a wide beam overall of 4.72 meters, and a maximum draft of 0.84 meters. It operates with a full-load displacement of 22 tons and complies with Bureau Veritas (BV) and Grey Boat Code classification standards, reinforcing the rugged structural durability needed for demanding port and coastal pilotage duties.
Unlike the outboard configurations common to the lighter interceptor series, the Reefrunner 16 employs a conventional shaft and propeller propulsion arrangement powered by twin 600 hp engines to deliver a combined 1,200 hp. This reliable configuration drives the vessel to a maximum speed of 31 knots and a steady cruising speed of 24 knots, maintaining a fuel burn rate of 144 liters per hour. Supported by a sizable 2,000-liter fuel tank, the vessel achieves an operational cruising range of 300 nautical miles on a single-day endurance basis, safely carrying an 8-passenger complement alongside 200 liters of fresh water and 56 liters of waste water capacity.
The onboard electrical architecture runs on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC power supply, heavily supported by a recommended 3,770 Ah house battery bank and a dedicated 11.8 kW / 14.7 kVA generator. This robust electrical grid easily handles a massive 28,800 BTU/h air conditioning system to maintain complete climate control within the enclosed wheelhouse. Critical situational awareness is driven by an advanced navigation suite featuring a 16-inch multi-function display (MFD), a 4 kW radar, an autopilot, a 1 kW sonar, and an NMEA2000 backbone, which is complemented by mandatory safety gear including a radar reflector, depth sounder, and magnetic compass.
