Ex Police Vessel

The PATROL 3 is a professional patrol vessel built in 1997 in the Netherlands, designed for intensive deployment in demanding maritime conditions. The design combines a steel hull, which ensures robustness and excellent sailing characteristics, with an aluminum superstructure that saves weight and optimizes stability while limiting the maintenance needs of the above-water ship. With a tonnage of 98 GT, the PATROL 3 is a versatile and high-performance unit, excellently suited for surveillance and patrol tasks, port support, offshore service activities, and assistance operations.

The ship is classified by ABS with a class expiration date in December 2028, which is a significant advantage for an operator looking for a compliant and deployable vessel without major short-term commitments. The dimensions of 23.93 meters in length and 6.00 meters in width, combined with a draft of 2.84 meters, provide an excellent balance between stability, operational capacity, and maneuverability. The propulsion is provided by two MTU engines, each with 550 kW, a reliable and highly valued engine in the professional sector. The PATROL 3 achieves a speed of approximately 15 knots and is equipped with a bow thruster, allowing the vessel to maneuver very precisely, especially in port areas or during interventions.

The ship is operationally equipped with a launch station for a RIB, enabling rapid deployment and high flexibility in mission execution. Additionally, there is a crane with a lifting capacity of 300 kg, ideal for handling materials and light operational equipment. Comfort and functionality on board are enhanced by air conditioning, ensuring good working conditions for the crew, regardless of the season or deployment area. Finally, the PATROL 3 is equipped with three FiFi monitors, a valuable installation for safety and assistance operations in ports and for fire-fighting, providing an additional capability that is rarely available on this type of vessel. Reliable, versatile, and well-equipped, the PATROL 3 represents a serious opportunity for an operator looking to invest in an operational work vessel, built according to recognized Dutch standards and ready for a wide range of professional tasks.
