MST Group Launches Fast Interceptor Craft Range

We are pleased to announce Marine Specialised Technology Group have launched a new military-grade, Fast Interception Craft (FIC) Range.

The organisation has already secured orders for the new range with a European Military User and the first-of-two FIC-1700 craft has been successfully delivered to the customer, who is undergoing end-user familiarisation training aboard the vessel before it is deployed into service.

The craft have been jointly developed with BMT and specifically designed for all-weather rapid deployment operations, including maritime law enforcement and border control. The 17.35m craft deliver operational effectiveness, low radar and sound signatures combined with an increased work platform, extended range and overnight accommodation.

Four Mercury Verado V12 engines, each individually rated to 600 horsepower, enable the FIC-1700 to achieve impressive speeds exceeding 50 knots whilst providing exceptional handling and stability. Other enhancements include shock mitigation seating and a modular ergonomic console design, allowing frequent equipment upgrades, improving the military user experience throughout the craft lifetime.

Philip Hilbert, Sales Director for Marine Specialised Technology, said:

We are very proud to deliver the Fast Interceptor Craft range to the market which will allow global Armed Forces to remain at the cutting edge of capability and border security.

This contract reflects the persistent dedication our team puts in and highlights the growth Marine Specialised Technology is actively undergoing, whilst reinforcing our position as a world-leader in the design and manufacture of military craft.”
