The SeaViper 15 SAR Patrol & SAR & Pilot Vessel by KND is a highly specialized, multi-role maritime platform constructed with an aluminium planing hull and a matching aluminium wheelhouse/superstructure. Engineered to handle demanding search and rescue, coastal patrol, and harbor pilotage duties, this rugged monohull measures 15.95 meters in length with a wide 4.86-meter beam and a 0.95-meter draft. Certified under Bureau Veritas classification standards with HPi CE proof validation, the vessel is rated for a maximum full-load displacement of 25.90 tons.

The craft features an expansive layout structured around a tight 500 mm frame spacing. The exterior layout showcases a clear, open aft deck configured for rescue operations, a raised command bridge with wrap-around visibility, secure side decks with integrated grip surfacing for safe crew movement, and a fortified bow fender system optimized for pilot boarding maneuvers. The vessel accommodates an 8-person complement and provides essential onboard liquid logistics, including 200 liters of fresh water and 56 liters of waste water storage.

To ensure heavy-weather operational reliability and high maneuverability during precise rescue positioning, the platform relies on a dependable Jet Drive propulsion arrangement drawing from a 2,920-liter integrated fuel capacity. The propulsion grid is highly flexible, supporting premium marine engines from Volvo Penta, Baudouin, or MTU to deliver a combined 1,340 bhp of installed power. This powertrain configuration drives the vessel to a maximum speed of 24 knots and maintains a steady cruising speed of 19 knots. Operating at its designated 19-knot cruise velocity, the system delivers an active operational range of 263 nautical miles.

The ship’s extensive electronic networks, climate controls, and search-and-rescue utilities run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC power supply. This electrical infrastructure is fed by a 6 KVA generator set (genset), which supplies continuous power to a high-output, full cabin air conditioning system to ensure optimal crew stamina during extended operations.

The command bridge is equipped with an advanced basic navigation pack centered on a large 16-inch multi-function display (MFD). This helm station is fully tied together via an NMEA2000 backbone that integrates a VHF DSC radio, AIS-B++ transponder, a 4 kW radar system, an autopilot, and a 1 kW sonar. KND states that further mission-specific modifications and optional extras can be integrated entirely on client request. As is standard for this design range, technical specifications remain preliminary and subject to final engineering change.
