Buoy Tender: Malaysian Made for Malaysia

Along side the fitting out pier at the NGV Tech.

The Marine Department of Malyasia is taking delivery of the 40 by 10-meter buoy tender Permata from the NGV Tech Shipyard near Port Kelang. With a raised foc'sle and low midships deck the vessel is well equipped for servicing navigational aides. A large crane mounted forward will be used to deploy and retrieve the buoys. A shallow two meter-draft combined with a pair of electrically powered spuds located on the stern quarters can be used to create a stable working platform in shallower harbour areas.

A pair of keel-cooled Cummins KTA50 M2 engines, each rated for 1875 hp (1,398 kW) @ 1950 RPM, supplied by Scott and English (Malaysia) provide main propulsion power for the vessel. Large deck mounted cooling fans pump ample air to the engine room. The engines turn fixed pitch open propellers through ZF W7000 gears. Accommodation is provided for a crew of 17. Tankage includes about 42,000 liters of fuel and about 23,000 liters of potable water.

The Permata will be delivered to her owners by the end of May.
