KND has been awarded a design contract for a new 14m Interceptor.

KND has taken a deep plunge, not just designing a remarkable new Interceptor, but also moved away from the traditional way of placing transverse and longitudinal frames.

KND’s new method will increase the fairness of the topside and hull bottom plates. All this adds up to creating less resistance in the water. Fitted with 3 x 300Hp engines, the anticipated speed will be in the region of 55 knots. Provision has been made for Ballistic protection, three gun mounts and ample locker space. Soon KND will start the development of an inboard version with MSA surface drives so as to reach speeds of 65+ knots.
