Gangwon 201 — 26.65-meter Fisheries Patrol Vessel

Dual MJP 500X Waterjets

Commissioned for Gangwon Province in northeastern South Korea, Gangwon 201 pushed the boundaries of patrol vessel design. This project delivered a vessel that marks a new era for fishery enforcement operations. Powered by dual MJP 500X waterjets paired with MTU engines, the ”Gangwon 201” combines operational flexibility, high performance, and unmatched maneuverability.

Vessel information

The ‘’Gangwon 201’’ was built with the mission of protecting Gangwon Province’s waters from illegal fishing activities. To best achieve this, the project focused on delivering a patrol vessel capable of rapid response and controlled operations in equal measures.

The vessel measures 26.65 meters in overall length with a 22.5-meter beam and a maximum draft of 2.3 meters. This design, combined with waterjet propulsion, supports shallow-water access while maintaining performance and maneuverability under urgency and pressure.

The propulsion system features dual MJP 500X waterjets paired with MTU engines in an innovative hybrid-electric configuration. This allows clean electric operation when patrolling harbors, cutting emissions while improving control. The build not only met the project’s goals but exceeded them.

Despite the vessel’s robust construction and intended use in harsh conditions, it achieved a sea trial speed of 19.5 knots. This result highlights the efficiency and capability of Marine Jet Power’s most advanced waterjets, the MJP X-Series.

Why the MJP 500X?

The ‘’Gangwon 201’’ required a propulsion solution for fast, agile, and shallow-water operations, and MJP 500X waterjets provided the perfect match. With unmatched performance and reliability delivered by the dual 500X, the vessel is able to handle military-like patrol duties while maintaining precise control and flexibility.
