These patrol vessels each have four engines, two controllable pitch propellers and two fire pumps driven from the main engines. The remote control system includes PMC's Type 5040 electric shaft system and the long established PMC PCA-2L pitch controller. The control system features automatic load sharing and automatic load control. PMC also manufactured the engine control room console and three bridge consoles. Other PMC marine products provided for these vessels include Type 8201 telegraphs, Type 8502 tachometers, a Type 8012 navigation light panel, shaft brakes and several different mimic panels.

Today's increased complexity in propulsion control demands the greatest possible attention to detail. PMC system responsibility meets this challenge.
