Tamsen delivers search and rescue boat

The vessel is powered by a single Cummins QSB6.7-M engine producing 280kW at 3,000rpm. turning a single propeller through a ZF286A marine gear.

This will give the boat a 20-knot speed and, for towing coastal vessels out of danger, a 2.5-tonne bollard pull.

DGzRS is also scheduled to receive another three SAR boats from another German yard.
