Speed. Silence. Hybrid Power.

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.

A TAILORED HYBRID PROPULSION SOLUTION FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE

Marine Jet Power supplied dual MJP 350X waterjets, chosen for their reliable high thrust, rapid response and compatibility with hybrid powertrains. These jets are integrated with the Scania hybrid electric system to deliver both performance and efficiency.
Key elements of the solution include:
• Dual MJP 350X waterjets matched to the hybrid powertrain
• Seamless transition between electric-only, hybrid and diesel modes
• Optimized propulsion for both high-speed chase and silent patrol
• Integration with advanced control and monitoring systems

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
