Simrad Marine Electronics is proud to partner with Kewatec on the newly delivered Kewatec Patrol 1540, now operating in Souda Bay, Crete, in support of NATO FORACS measurement activities. The vessel—named KRITI—will transport personnel, handle specialized equipment, and perform surveillance tasks in one of the region’s busiest operational environments.
Integrated Simrad System for Demanding Missions
The 15.4-meter Patrol 1540 is purpose-built for long shifts, high maneuverability, and predictable handling. To complement the vessel’s performance, KRITI is equipped with a fully integrated Simrad navigation and situational awareness suite, including:
- Professional radar for all-conditions visibility and target tracking
- Navigation systems for precise coastal operations
- IMO-approved autopilot and vessel-control integration for predictable handling
- Ruggedized displays and controllers for reliability in any sea state
This system gives crews a clear, connected operational picture—essential for measurement-support and patrol missions.
A Partnership Focused on Reliability
Kewatec’s collaborative build process and mission-driven vessel design align strongly with Simrad’s commitment to delivering dependable marine electronics for professional operators. Together, we’ve created a platform that combines mission-ready performance with technology crews can trust.
Purpose-Built. Mission-Proven. Powered by Simrad.
