It has been optimised for speeds up to 30 knots, as patrols are typically conducted at cruising speeds, and most rescues are restricted to medium speeds due to bad weather. This optimization gives the benefits of im- proved fuel efficiency, lower operating costs, and in- creased range for a given horsepower. A ships tender ( RIB ) is carried for crew transfers, and close-in rescues when it is unsafe for the mother-ship to approach too near.

The combination of waterjets and a 1.4 m draft, means the X22 can operate safely in shallow Rescue stations on each side of the vessel, offer stable work areas that are in close proximity to the water. These can be equipped with the latest rescue and lifting apparatus for safe and speedy retrieval of victims. The wide deck allows space for multiple victims, without re- stricting the recovery of others. The vessel can be equipped with additional equipment such as water cannons, to enhance its operational capa- VESSEL PARTICULAR Basic Functions Patrol, Interdiction Hull Material Infused Vinylester Composite Fuel Capacity Water Capacity Main Engines Speed (Cruising) Deck Equipment Life Saving Equipment Fire Extinguishing Rescue Equipment Nautical Equipment Convt Propeler / Waterjet Life jackets, Life Buoys, Life Rafts
