MEETING MODERN PATROL REQUIREMENTS WITH HYBRID CAPABILITY

The Marell M17 Hybrid Electric Interceptor represents the cutting edge of maritime performance and sustainable propulsion. Built by Marell Boats, this 17-meter high-speed patrol craft features an advanced hybrid electric drive system by Scania, integrated with dual MJP 350X waterjets to deliver exceptional speed, agility and silent-running capabilities for modern government, law enforcement and defense operations.

The Marell M17 Hybrid Electric Interceptor was developed to meet evolving operational demands for patrol craft that combine high-speed performance with low acoustic signature and reduced environmental impact. Many government agencies, police forces and maritime authorities require platforms capable of both rapid long-distance transits and silent, low-speed operations near sensitive coastal areas or ports — all while minimizing emissions.

This vessel’s hybrid configuration addresses these requirements by enabling seamless transitions between electric-only mode for quiet patrol and full power diesel operation for high-speed intercept missions.

HIGH SPEED, SILENT PATROL AND ECO-EFFIENCY

The hybrid M17 delivers measurable performance and operational versatility:
• High top speed: Over 55 knots with diesel power
• Silent operation: Electric mode enables low-noise patrols in sensitive areas
• Efficient cruising: Reduced emissions and fuel usage during long transits
• Enhanced maneuverability: Quick response and tight handling at speed
• Flexible mission profiles: Capable of rapid interception and quiet surveillance

This hybrid combination not only ensures operational readiness, but also reduces environmental impact — a growing priority for modern maritime agencies and defense operators. exhilarating
