Abstract
This paper presents the development of the conceptual design of a coastal Patrol vessel with the capacity to receive and deploy a helicopter, in order to increase the efficiency of coastguard operations developed by the Colombian National Navy. As a starting point, the design of the coastal patrol vessel built by Cotecmar and named CPV46 was taken, on which modifications were implemented in its main dimensions and distribution of spaces, which allowed to include a flight deck to receive a BELL 412 EP helicopter, complying with the regulations for this type of operations.This design was developed based on the design spiral method, where each turn of the spiral includes estimates and performance calculations influenced by each other and corresponding to the different stages of the design. For this work, the conceptual design was divided into eight booklets containing the state of the art, mission profile, capacity sizing, naval architecture, propeller selection, generator selection, stability study and cost estimation, concluding in the feasibility of the design based on its cost at a conceptual level.
Highlights
The Colombian Navy currently has four coastal patrol vessel (CPV) coast patrol vessels and four Point Class vessels for coastguard operations, those Point Class vessels have reached the end of their useful life and are in the process of being discharged
Highlighted, resulting in a cyclical and iterative method, in which each of the project phases is related to each other, establishing a relationship in each phase of the project. phases, this results in that the concepts and the results in each phase must be verified several times until they adapt to the considerations that keep the phases to each other
"Coastal patrol vessel" project (CPV) with flight deck for the reception and deployment of helicopters, mitigating the oversizing of units used by the Colombian Navy in coastguard operations, such as oceanic patrol vessels (OPVs) or missile frigates, increasing the efficiency of these coastguard operations
Summary
The Colombian Navy currently has four CPV coast patrol vessels and four Point Class vessels for coastguard operations, those Point Class vessels have reached the end of their useful life and are in the process of being discharged. Design Restrictions "Coastal patrol vessel" project (CPV) with flight deck for the reception and deployment of helicopters, mitigating the oversizing of units used by the Colombian Navy in coastguard operations, such as OPV or missile frigates, increasing the efficiency of these coastguard operations. This design was adjusted in compliance with the design standards of the Lloyd's Register Classification Society, in addition to complying with the regulations that regulate nationally and internationally the transit and safety of ships, such as the IMO or MARPOL norms, and the local regulations of the maritime authority DIMAR
