On 5 June the Finnish Border Guard signed an agreement with Marine Alutech Oy

that are put to engines in various marine applications, like the Watercat 1300
Patrol vessel”, says Mikael Lindner, Sales Director for marine segment, Scania

developed vessel. The two 12-litre Scania engines of 478kW and waterjet
propulsion give the vessel a top speed of over 40 knots. The concept is the
ideal solution for border patrolling, sea rescue and other activities performed
by authorities, such as the
