12m Interceptor

Following last month’s Seawork, the leading exhibition on workboats and small military and security vessels, Tuco Marine has revealed its newest vessel in the Danish company’s ProZero range: The ProZero 12m Interceptor.

Tuco describes the new design as ‘an advanced high-speed craft, extremely well suited for fast response interdiction, surveillance, patrol, law enforcement, counter-piracy efforts, search- and rescue, or medical evacuations’.

The ProZero 12m Interceptor is further described as ‘capable of delivering valued human resources fast and safely over a long range in extreme environments’.

Tuco says it has been working closely with highly experienced military and law enforcement customers to secure that the Interceptor will fit the demands from this specific market. End users have therefore been closely involved in the design and layout of the boat.

The Interceptor is powered by a pair of inboard electronic turbodiesel engines giving the vessel a +60 knot top speed. As interceptor missions at high speed in rough seas are mainly limited by the human factor of shock mitigation, the boat has been developed around Tuco’s shock mitigation strategy.
