Design Characteristics
12m D-tube patrol boat : Shogun

Design Process:

Through carefull consideration of the clients design requirement we produced a number of concepts in 2D sketch format.Working closely with the client we refined our conceptual sketches, renderings, 3D study models & preliminary hull analysis to establish our latest design the Shogun.


Key Design Characteristics

• 12m length overall (LOA)
• Material marine grade aluminium or composite
• D-tube foam side fenders
• Increased fwd/aft deck areas
• Saftey cell pilothouse & lowerdeck areas
• Operation in shallow waterways
• Accomodates 4 crew (4 fwd bunks)
• Shower/toilets areas
• Galley (fridge, hotplates, sink, storage ect.)
• Bridge (captains & navigator areas)
• Ullman Atlantic series seating
• Paramilitary issue navigation equipment

Hull Design:

The Shogun incorperates a hull form that is spacifically designed for shallow water operation. The Shogun is equiped with a medium deadrise & graduated planning surface hull form this assures it's performance & ride characteristics through shallow water navigation.

• Medium deadrise hull
• Optimised ridding plate
• Marine grade aluminium or composite
• Spray rails & chine lift plate

Interior Design:

• Lower Deck

Our goal was to design an interior that would accomodate 4 crew for extended missions/special operations. The Shogun incoperates a fwd crew cabin equiped with bunks and equipment storage. Following on aft from the crew quaters are toilet & shower areas equiped with sinkage and storage draws and lockers.

The Shoguns lowerdeck contains a galley equiped with hot plates, sink, storage space, refridgorator ect. On extened periods of time given particular special operations missions the crew can prepair thier food & be seated in the seating area next to the glalley.

• Bridge Deck

The upper bridge provides the captain and navigator with an open dashboard & working area. The upper deck allows for clear visulabilty due to the elevation and glazing arrangment. The upper bridge provides seating for captain, navigator & two crew members.

Propulsion:

Due to the Shoguns operation in shallow waterways we sought after a waterjet set-up. Therefore the Shogun utlisises twin T.D 340 Castoldi waterjets powered by Twin Yanmar LY-CX 530hp diesel engines. The combination between waterjet and engine allows for the Shogun to move through waterways at speed in situations where this craft needs to pursue enemy vessels
