the material packages for the five vessels to KSY. When completed, these will be the largest patrol craſt to be built locally in Bangladesh. Tese patrol craſt have a length of 50.4m, a beam
of 7.5m and a draſt of 1.9m. Standard displacement is 255tonnes and full load is 270tonnes. Tey are powered by four Chinese-built diesels (each rated at 1016kW) each driving one shaſt. Top speed is 23knots; their economi- cal speed is 21knots. Range is 1500nm and endurance is seven days. Te vessel’s complement is 31 persons. Armament takes the form of two twin 37mm mounts
– one fore and one aft – as well as two amidships mounted 20mm cannons. It appears that a fire control radar is not being fitted. Delivery of the first vessel is planned for December 2012, 30 months from project start, June 2013 (36 months) for the second, September 2013 (39 months) for the third and the last pair by December 2013. The total project cost is around US$42 million.
According to KSY, the cost of importing a similar vessel would be around US$19 million. Given Bangladesh’s extensive riverine system, these vessels will be used as inshore patrol vessels in the fisher-
ies patrol role and for enforcing the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
Submarine rescue IHC EB contributes
to NSRS In March it was declared that the NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) has now achieved full operating capability, marking the culmination of a 20-year project in which Northumberland-based IHC Engineering Business (IHC EB) has played an important role with the design and build of the Portable Launch and Recovery System (PLARS). NSRS is the result of three partner nations (UK,
France and Norway) successfully collaborating to develop and operate a world class submarine rescue system. It is unique in its ability to be transported by air and mobilised onto a wide range of vessels, and is the only system that can transfer personnel under pressure from a crippled submarine to a decompression and treatment facility.
