Making its debut at the Seawork International Exhibition in June 2015, Alusafe's 1100 fast interceptor craft (FIC) prototype certainly captured visitor attention - due, in part, to its striking livery, and the high speeds offered by this new class of patrol boat. Designed and constructed by Norway's Maritime Partner, and intended to be pushed to the limit by coast guard / police agencies and naval fleet operators alike, the Alusafe 1100 FIC features a planing monohull with a single chine and deep-vee hullform, intended to assist the crew in cutting through inclement weather at a service speed of 50knots, increasing to at least 60knots max. The hull has been fashioned from marine grade aluminium and is reinforced by longitudinal stiffeners, as well as transverse frames and bulkheads.
