Pilot Boats and Line Boats for Kuwait

Early in 2005 the Naseeb Maritime Company of Kuwait took delivery of three new pilot boats and two new line-handling boats to ease ship handling in their port. Dubai Drydock in the UAE built the vessels, Naseeb14, Naseeb 16 and Sealine 6. The 20-meter sister ships displace 42.2 tons.

A pair of electronically controlled six-cylinder Cummins QSK19 M main engines, each generating 760 HP at 2100 RPM, provides power for the launches. The engines turn into ZF-2000A marine gears with 2.029:1 ratios to spin Teignbridge fixed-pitch 5-blade 914x711 m/m propellers. On sea trials the pilot launches achieved speeds of 21.1 knots with ten people onboard.

The mooring line boats, also by Dubai Drydocks for Naseeb Maritime, are named Naseeb-18 and Naseeb-20. They are each 11.76 meters on the waterline and displace 30.75 tons. They are powered by a pair of Cummins 6CTA engines each producing 350 HP at 2500 RPM. The engines turn into Twin Disc MG5075 gears with 2.53:1 reduction ratios and turning 4-blade fixed-pitch 813 x 533-m/m Teignbridege propellers. The line boats achieved 11.5 knots on sea trials.
