African Riverine Landing Craft

The transportation of personal and equipment is often a problem
in Africa due to poor road conditions and bad weather.

Veecraft Marine was awarded a project to build a number
of 11.2m craft with shallow draft to under take such duties.

This simple spacious design was what the customer requested. It has a full width walk through wheelhouse with seating for two crew and sliding side windows. A water closet is located in the aft cabin area with access off the aft deck.

They have two under deck fuel tanks of 357 litres & two water tanks of 150 litres each.
Their shallow draft light is 0.37m and with a maximum load of 5,800kg the draft is 0.6.m.
 Bow access is via a cable operated ramp for river bank loading.

Propulsion System 

2 x Steyr Marine turbo-charged six cylinder 184Kw (250bhp) engines,
spinning two Almarin 230 water-jets via two ZF45C gearboxes.

This gives them a top speed of 35 knots and a cruising speed of 25 knots. 


Trials took place at sea and they handled these conditions well, considering that they where designed for riverine conditions.
