‘Kamaran’ begins operation in Yemen

The ‘Kamaran’ is the second of the three line-handling boats supplied by Alnmaritec to operate at a new LNG terminal in the Yemen.

The vessel is fitted with twin Cummins engines and Ultrajet 305 HT waterjets from Ultra Dynamics giving her a top speed of around 28 knots and a bollard pull of around three tonnes. ‘Kamaran’ has a fully enclosed wheel house. Internally, the vessel has seating for six passengers. The vessel has a two-tonne hydraulic capstan and a tow post fitted with an on-load quick release hook as well as a man overboard recovery davit and an aft dive platform with dive ladder. ‘Kamaran’ is fitted with a water spray deluge system and carries a removable boarding platform since the vessel’s duties also include pilot operations for the LNG tankers.
