The Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron’s first HPB-1900 high-speed patrol craft, HMS Cutlass, has successfully completed initial trials.

James Troop & Co Ltd are very proud to have worked with MST on this high-profile project taking two years from the initial design to supplying the engines for two new fast patrol boats.

James Troop’s Engine Sales Executive, Anthony Ward, and Technical Manager, Alan Railton, worked very closely with the MST Design team throughout the project ensuring the installation and commissioning of the three Volvo Penta D13 Engines each producing 1000Hp, went as smoothly as possible.

Each vessel is powered by three Volvo Penta D13 Engines driving water Jets. During trials, all the vessel’s systems and performance were tested to meet rigorous Royal Navy requirements and the boat surpassed the speed requirements and exceeded performance expectations.
