P645 | SEAVIPER 20

The SeaViper 20 Patrol & Intercept Vessel by KND is a heavy-duty tactical craft meticulously engineered with an aluminium planing hull and a fully enclosed matching aluminium wheelhouse/superstructure. Built to handle intensive maritime border enforcement, coastal patrol, and high-speed littoral interception, this robust platform features a commanding physical profile measuring 20.00 meters in length overall (LOA) with a 4.43-meter beam overall (BA) and a deep, stable 0.85-meter draft. Certified under Grey Boat Code classification standards, the vessel’s structurally reinforced hull form is engineered to withstand extreme open-ocean environments, supporting a maximum full-load displacement of 26.45 tons while safely accommodating a standard operational complement of 10 persons over an extended 3-day operational sea endurance baseline.

To ensure the exceptional sprint capabilities, rapid throttle responsiveness, and debris safety necessary for tactical intercept missions, the SeaViper 20 relies on an advanced jet drive propulsion arrangement drawing from a massive 8,580-liter integrated fuel capacity. Powered by a twin main engine configuration delivering an immense 3,000 hp of recommended installed power ($2 \times 1500\text{ hp}$), the vessel achieves a blistering maximum speed of 49.6 knots and sustains a swift, high-velocity cruising speed of 40 knots. Operating continuously at its 40-knot cruise setting, the powertrain configuration maintains a fuel burn rate of 425 liters per hour, which yields an outstanding tactical transit and operational patrol range of 720 nautical miles at an estimated 26.49-ton displacement. Long-range mission deployments are further supported by generous liquid logistics infrastructure, including 750 liters of fresh water storage and a dedicated 210-liter waste water holding tank.

The vessel’s comprehensive electronic infrastructure, tactical communication suites, and localized climate control systems run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC power supply network. This industrial-grade grid is backed by a recommended 2,720 Ah house battery bank and an integrated 8.5 kW / 10.5 KVA auxiliary generator set (genset). The heavy-duty genset ensures continuous power to an approximate 24,000 BTU/h marine air conditioning system, keeping the crew and electronic bays fully climate-controlled during multi-day operations. The enclosed command helm is outfitted with a specialized basic navigation pack centered on a 16-inch multi-function display (MFD) that integrates a VHF DSC radio, an AIS-B transponder, an autopilot, a 1 kW sonar, and a 4 kW radar system operating on a centralized NMEA2000 communication backbone. A legally mandated safety array completes the bridge, featuring a masthead light, stern light, sidelights, a magnetic compass, a sound signaling device, navigation charts, a GPS/chartplotter, a depth sounder, and a Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) suite.
