”The contract had a value of NOK 11.5

great importance as a reference when we
promote our boats in the international
defence and patrol markets,” says project

Ålesund based Maritime Partner has long
experience in the defence market and has
delivered 110 large enclosed boats to Norwegian
and international customers. Taking
into account also smaller open boats
intended for tough emergency response
tasks, Maritime Partner has delivered

Alusafe 1300 MkIII The boat can be certified for operation in
different waters and various speed ranges.
Among other things the ventilation and sea
water systems are designed for operation
in temperatures from +30C to -30C. The
boat is equipped with seating for eight
crew members, four of the eight placesbeing fitted with Ullman Atlantic suspension
seats that absorb heavy shocks and
landings , as well as four-point safety
harnesses.
Maritime Partner has focused on creating
a good and pleasant working environment
in the wheelhouse and has chosen a high
standard with Alcantara linings on deckheads
and bulkheads.
The boat is equipped with a well proven
Hamilton Blue Arrow manoeuvring system,
which provides a unique manoeuvring
capability. Maritime Partner and Hamilton
have developed a joystick for this system,
and this Alusafe 1300 MkIII is the first to
be fitted with Blue Arrow with joystick.
The joystick is mounted in the armrest of
the helmsman’s chair. Both helmsman
and navigator can also operate the ECDIS
(electronic chart display and information
system) from their chairs. This means
the crew can operate the vessel in transit
at high speed or in rough seas while well
secured in their suspension seats.
A towing hook which can be released from the helm position is fitted to the transom. Securing points for stretchers are provided in the wheelhouse, and the deck and areas around are suited to first aid activities. The wheelhouse has internal communications in a quiet-bridge solution which can be
-2-coupled to external communication. In the forward superstructure is a small cabin with galley and storage. The boat also has toilet and shower facilities.
