DAMEN INTERCEPTOR 1102

Speed is the most obvious criterion for an interceptor.
A sufficient margin of speed is required for catching a target.
Speed on flat water however is not of the highest importance.
What counts is the speed that can be maintained in waves. Good sea-keeping abilities give a distinct speed edge in the real "not-flat-water" world.
Speed means light weight. However, light weight must obviously not be achieved with a fragile structure or over-stretched propulsion machinery (low reliability, high maintenance costs).
Maneuverability is vital if targets are very agile, such as small open boats with outboard motors.
An Interceptor is a work boat, designed to be used in difficult situations. Therefore ergonomics are of utmost importance.
The consoles for the helmsman and the navigator of the Damen Interceptor 1102 have been designed and optimized to offer no-nonsense and logical work stations to suit special operations and high accelerations.
