P533 | SEAVIPER 19 FIRE

The SeaViper 19 F Firefighting Vessel by KND is a high-speed, specialized emergency response platform engineered with an aluminium planing hull and a matching aluminium wheelhouse superstructure. This dedicated firefighting variant utilizes the same robust hull dimensioning found on its sister interceptor platforms, measuring 18.52 meters in length overall with a 4.5-meter beam and a 0.87-meter draft, operating at a maximum full-load displacement of 26 tons.

Certified under Grey Boat Code classification standards with HPi CE proof and Bureau Veritas (BV) validation, the vessel is configured to transport and shelter a 16-person complement on a 1-day endurance baseline. The deck and interior plans feature an expansive aft operations area, an upper mast/wheelhouse arrangement fitted with high-output marine firefighting monitors (water cannons), and multiple interior watertight bulkheads (WTB) dividing the hull into a lower equipment room, central crew spaces with collapsible bunks, a galley, and a forward technical bay. Onboard logistics support includes a 3,051-liter fuel capacity, 400 liters of fresh water, and 112 liters of waste water storage.

To ensure rapid arrival at port, coastal, or riverine incidents, the vessel uses a high-agility Jet Drive propulsion arrangement. Powered by twin engines generating a combined 2,400 hp of recommended installed power (), the craft achieves a maximum speed of 49.3 knots and an urgent cruising speed of 39.7 knots. At its cruise settings, it runs at a fuel burn rate of 343.2 liters per hour, delivering an active operational range of 318 nautical miles.

The vessel’s high-demand electrical architecture, emergency response electronics, and onboard domestic utilities run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC power supply network. This grid is heavily backed by a recommended 3,850 Ah house battery bank and a robust 12 kW / 15 KVA generator set, which effortlessly powers an approximate 29,500 BTU/h air conditioning system to keep the crew climate-controlled during high-heat operations.

The command deck features an advanced basic navigation pack centered around a 16-inch multi-function display (MFD) integrated via an NMEA2000 backbone with a VHF DSC radio, AIS-B, a 4 kW radar, an autopilot, and a 1 kW sonar. Standard compulsory maritime and safety gear rounds out the build, including a masthead light, stern light, sidelights, a magnetic compass, a sound signaling device, emergency flares, navigation charts, a GPS/chartplotter, a radar reflector, a depth sounder, and structural points for auxiliary tactical armament. True to KND’s engineering workflow, these preliminary specifications represent concept-level estimates subject to change during final technical and design development.
