The SeaViper 16 Patrol & Intercept Vessel by KND is a high-speed, tactical maritime security platform engineered with an aluminium planing hull and a matching aluminium wheelhouse superstructure. Designed for coastguard and law enforcement operations, this sharp-profiled vessel measures 16.35 meters in length overall with a 4.85-meter beam and a 0.83-meter draft. Certified under CE classification standards with Bureau Veritas (BV) and HPi CE proof validation, the craft manages a maximum full-load displacement of 23 tons. The tactical internal layout is optimized to support a 4-person complement over a 2-day operational endurance baseline, featuring a dedicated forward galley, a crew cabin, a forensics or tactical pack area, and provisions for specialized armament and ballistic protection.

For high-velocity pursuit and interception, the platform relies on a traditional shaft and propeller arrangement powered by twin 1,000 hp engines to deliver a combined 2,000 hp of recommended installed power. This high-performance powertrain configuration drives the vessel to a blistering maximum speed of 43.5 knots and a rapid cruising speed of 33.7 knots. Running at its cruising velocity, the system maintains a fuel burn rate of 240 liters per hour, yielding an extensive operational range of 632 nautical miles from its large 5,000-liter integrated fuel tank. To support the crew during extended multi-day patrols, the hull accommodates essential liquid logistics, including 500 liters of fresh water and 200 liters of waste water storage.

The vessel’s comprehensive electronics network, tactical equipment, and living spaces run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC power supply. This electrical grid is supported by a recommended 3,320 Ah house battery bank and a robust 10.3 kW / 12.9 KVA generator set, which comfortably runs an approximate 25,100 BTU/h air conditioning system to maintain crew alertness in harsh climates. The raised command bridge features a premium basic navigation pack centered on a 16-inch multi-function display (MFD), fully integrated via an NMEA 2000 backbone with a VHF DSC radio, AIS-B++, a 4 kW radar, an autopilot, and a 1 kW sonar. Legally mandated safety and tactical navigation gear rounds out the helm, including a masthead light, stern light, sidelights, a magnetic compass, a sound signaling device, emergency flares, navigation charts, a GPS chartplotter, a radar reflector, and a depth sounder.
