The 35 Meter Fast Patrol Vessel (FPV) is a modern, robust, and efficient watercraft with an impressive length of 115 feet (35.06 meters) and a beam of 23.9 feet (7.25 meters). The draft is 4.5 feet (1.5 meters), making it highly maneuverable in shallow waters and tight spaces.

The vessel has a range of 5,556 kilometers (3,000 nautical miles) at a speed of 12 knots, and can operate in sea state 4 while being survivable up to sea state 6 at the best heading.

The ship is equipped with a fuel capacity of up to 7,500 gallons (28,400 liters) and a potable water storage capacity of 500 gallons (1,890 liters), providing ample resources for long journeys. The vessel's high-speed capability is also impressive, with the ability to reach speeds of 40+ knots (normal load).

She is designed for surface warfare, coastal defense, and to respond to dispersed and persistent security threats such as terrorism, piracy, smuggling, illegal immigration and other threats.
