The GUARDIAN 53 is the workhorse of the Hellenic Coast Guard. The vessel capable of achieving the significant maximum speed of 32 knots via a Fixed Pitch Propeller system provides lenghty patroling times whilst maintaining unparallel low maintenance costs. The twin diesel powerplant and the FPP installation provides a very spacious arrangement in comparison with similar sized crafts while its Diesel consumption is reduced allowing for long Ptrolling times. The arrangement allows for a small boarding boat to be mounted in the Aft platform while the cocpit arrangement allows the user to board the spacious Fly-Bridge and control all aspects of navigation from elevated position. The 0,50 inch and 7,62mm montings are interchangable whilst sufficent amounition storage room is supplied on all three mounting positions (Aft,Forward and Flybridge). The tested and proved design supplies the customer of our Guardian 53 a reliable well proven craft intended for patrolling and Fisheries Protection with reduced manpower requirements and low well documented maintenance cost.
