The Snapper 40 Fishing Vessel by KND is a large-scale, commercial-grade angling and catch platform featuring a heavy-duty steel displacement hull and an aluminium wheelhouse superstructure. Designed for serious offshore operations, this substantial vessel measures 41.30 meters in length overall with a beam of 9.53 meters, a draft of 2.81 meters, and a maximum full-load displacement of 654.78 tons. Certified under the Bureau Veritas classification standard with HPi CE proof validation, the ship is engineered to safely accommodate a professional complement of 17 passengers. Onboard operational and crew sustainability are well-supported by integrated storage capacities holding 15,000 liters of fuel, 12,750 liters of fresh water, and 3,570 liters of waste water.

To deliver reliable and sustained power across long ocean transits, the ship’s propulsion architecture relies on a conventional shaft and propeller configuration driven by high-efficiency marine engines sourced from Volvo Penta, Baudouin, or MTU. This robust system generates a potent 2,000 bhp, enabling the commercial vessel to achieve a maximum speed of 16 knots and a standard cruising speed of 14 knots. Utilizing its specialized displacement hull and efficient fuel management, the Snapper 40 delivers a continuous operational range of 783 nautical miles at its 14-knot cruising velocity, ensuring dependable endurance for extended deep-sea fishing expeditions.

The vessel’s extensive internal hardware and onboard electronics run on a dual 230 VAC and 48 VDC electrical power supply network backed by a heavy-duty 103 KVA generator set, which fully powers a full air conditioning system to maintain a climate-controlled cabin environment. Advanced maritime situational awareness and precise tracking are directed by a digital navigation pack featuring a 16-inch multi-function display (MFD), VHF DSC radio, AIS-B++ transponder, a 4 kW radar, an autopilot, a 1 kW sonar, and an integrated NMEA2000 backbone. True to the engineering flexibility of the KND range, these preliminary technical parameters remain subject to change, allowing optional extras and internal configurations to be completely tailored to a client’s specific requests.
