Marine Air Flow Engine Room Equipment in new NSW Police Boats

We have been very proud to have been selected last year to supply the engine room ventilation equipment for New South Wales 7 new Class 2 vessels. Working hand in hand with Penguin Marine in Singapore, the major contractor, Marine Air Flow designed and created a complete engine room air flow system for these new vessels to ensure the best possible operating conditions no matter the location or weather. 


December saw the unveiling of the 7 vessels in the fleet all built by Penguin Shipyards. Shipping the engine room equipment we designed and built to Singapore to be installed by Penguin was no challenge at all, and the end result was well built new vessels for the Australian people and New South Wales police. 


Weighing in at around 34 metric tonnes and 18.5 meters in length these boats have a top speed of around 26 knots. Keeping your engine, genset and other equipment operating at their peak can be greatly affected by not just fresh air supply but air exchange and even direction. Part of Marine Air Flow's system is the provision of CAD designed flow diagrams which then evolve into precise drawings for the team in our factory to follow. Our design stage allows you the client to see exactly what you will be getting and how the various components in our range work in together to achieve the best possible outcome.
