Gurit-engineered Ares Hercules series fast patrol boats on sea trials
Ares Shipyard has launched the first in a series of new patrol boats for Qatar Coastguard. Gurit Composite Engineering has been involved in the project since the early design stage with project partners BMT Nigel Gee, naval architects, ARES Shipyard, builder of the Hercules series fast patrol boats for Qatar Coast Guard. The order covers five vessels at 24m, ten boats at 34.5m and two 48m boats.
Gurit provided the full structural design service from developing the initial concept of the vessels to working with ARES Shipyard on providing shop floor drawings and answering questions during the approval process.
As part of the engineering design, Gurit also undertook finite element analysis on the composite waterjet for the 48m vessel to ensure that the intake avoids the natural frequencies from the waterjet’s impeller.
The boat was engineered to naval classification requirements of Turkish Lloyds whilst meeting the strict weight targets set by BMT Nigel Gee and specifications imposed by ARES Shipyard, maintaining a structure that would be quick and simple to build.

Editor's comment: Weather with you
My work office feels unusually cold. As I type this, the BBC weather says it’s 10˚C outside. Hmm, is that typical for the end of April? Anyway, our landlord has deemed that with Spring now in the air, it’s time to turn off the heating and save money. This presents a challenge typing when I can’t feel my fingers.
