Patrol 990 is a fast patrol vessel for both inshore and offshore duties. The boat is equipped with a single Volvo Penta D6 – 330 hp engine, connected through a ZF gear to a Rolls-Royce FF310 water jet. Thanks to the propulsion, the boat is able to operate in very shallow areas. The boat is also equipped with a hydraulic bow thruster, which means that together with the waterjet, the boat can be maneuvered in any direction with an ease.
The engine room is accessed through big deck hatches, now only making daily access and inspections easy, but also providing superior space for system maintenance or engine service. The aft deck is wide and totally flush, with a big opening to the aft platform where the electric anchor winch and life raft is located.
The wheelhouse is located midships, accessed through a sliding door at the starboard side. The wheelhouse is equipped with two suspension seats, a fixed sofa with internal storage and a small pantry. The visibility is exceptional in all directions, there is even an openable ceiling hatch. As the wheelhouse is separated from the hull and mounted on soft rubber fixings, the noise level is extremely low.
Basic navigation package does include multi-touch Chartplotter, radome radar, forward looking sonar, echo sounder. The boat is also equipped with AIS, A-class VHF-radio as well as other safety equipment as EPIRB and SART.
The Patrol 990 is a small, but versatile tool, designed for the crew to enjoy their time at work – even though the sun is hiding and the sea is angry.
