The vessel is scheduled for service in the port of Umm Qasr, Iraq. The combination of twin Caterpillar 3406E diesel engines with ZF350 trans- missions and the UltraJet 451 waterjets exceeded contract speed by six knots, achieving more than 24 knots during mul- tiple sea trials. The UJ451 reversing deflectors are independently controlled using Ultra's two-lever electrohydraulic (EH) control system. The hull which was designed to ABS rules and certified by ABS New Orleans, can be easily adapated as a fire- boat, patrol vessel or small coastal crew boat. New design features include an exterior deck plated in five bar checkered plate, providing a non-skid surface that is not abrasive. The vessel also has an extra heavy side shear plate with six inch "D" fendering on the sides, doubled on the bow. A rescue ladder on the stern nestles between the jet drives.
