Turva is a Finnish offshore patrol vessel .
Turva is a Finnish offshore patrol vessel .
Turva is 95.9 metres (314 ft 8 in) long and 17.4 metres (57 ft 1 in) wide, making her the largest vessel ever commissioned by the Finnish Border Guard as well as longer than any existing or past vessel commissioned by the Finnish Navy . Fully laden, she draws 5 metres (16 ft) of water. At design draught, the vessel has a deadweight tonnage of 660 tonnes while her maximum deadweight is around 1,800 tonnes. Her complement will be approximately 30.
Turva is also equipped for rescue operations, firefighting, emergency towing and demanding environmental duties. She can perform mechanical recovery of spilled oil with built-in recovery systems in open water, either by using conventional outriggers and booms in calm seas or a stiff steel boom and a special wave-dampening channel in heavy weather. The oil recovery system has been manufactured by the Finnish company Mobimar which has also provided equipment for other Finnish patrol vessels. Furthermore, the vessel is also fitted for but not with equipment capable of recovering oil in ice conditions. The internal storage tanks are dimensioned for 1,000 cubic metres (35,000 cu ft) of recovered oil and 200 cubic metres (7,100 cu ft) of recovered chemicals. The 350 square metres (3,800 sq ft) open aft deck is covered with tropical hardwood , Iroko . For diving support and oil recovery tasks, Turva carries a small workboat.
In the aft engine room, a 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V34DF producing 6,400 kW (8,600 hp) is mechanically coupled to a controllable-pitch propeller .
In the forward engine room, two 6-cylinder 6L34DF generating sets with an output of 3,000 kW (4,000 hp) each produce power for two electrically driven Rolls-Royce Azipull AZP120CP Z-drive azimuth thrusters .
The service speed of the vessel will be 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) and despite her bulbous bow she will also be capable of breaking level ice up to 80 centimetres (31 in) in thickness. With a bollard pull of approximately 100 tonnes, Turva is capable of towing even the largest tankers regularly sailing in the Baltic Sea.
