Pump up the volume

摘要

When it comes to developing hybrid fireboat / tug designs, Canada's Robert Allan would appear to be on a mission to extend as far as possible beyond the standard Fi-Fi 1 classification requirements that cover the bulk of these boats, and the recently launched RAstar 3900 class Mojaweb seems to be further proof of this strategy. The 39.1m vessel, which was ordered by Kuwait Fire Services for safety operations within the Kuwaiti port of Shuwaikh, has been certified by Lloyds Register as a Fi-Fi 2 craft, packing a powerful punch with a combined pump capacity of 8400m per hour.
