Solta Class Patrol Boat
The Patrol Boat “Šolta” is designed for border patrol service, surface and underwater observations and reporting, direct defense of territorial waters and support of own striking naval forces.
The hull form is of a semi-displacement type, developed and fully researched by model testing and proven in several types of existing naval ships. The form itself performs a good compromise between good seakeeping and low resistance at high speeds. The flat aft part, edged at sides, accounts for a good hydrodynamic lift, while V-shaped fore part improves the ship’s response in rough seas, so the ship is able to run at full output of main engines up to sea state 3/4, and at reduced engine power, up to sea state 5 according to WMO scale.
Propellers, shafting and rudders are carefully designed to avoid generating of excessive vibrations. All vibration-generating machinery is properly mounted on resilient mounts, for the vibration levels in living and operational areas are to be in accordance with the ISO 6954 standard.
Propulsion system consists of two identical propulsion plants favorable for application on small high-speed units and special- purpose crafts with controllable pitch propellers. Engine and propulsion plant design corresponds to specific requirements for operating conditions, duty profile and maintenance intervals.
The special sequential turbocharging method allows the propulsion engines to bring up front the optimum of the hull and propeller characteristics, as well as mission profile of modern fast patrol boat, which means operating economy and favorable operational parameters even at low speed.
