## Description
Trinity House is seeking to replace THV PATRICIA. The chosen design is likely be of a similar size to the 2007 built THV GALATEA, but will vary significantly in that it will be more environmentally efficient incorporating Hybrid power concepts. Further to this, it will have a hull form exhibiting motion response and speed loss characteristics designed to enable a response speed of 14 knots to be achievable in 2m head seas without excessive speed loss and motions in more severe conditions. This 14 knot Response Speed is to be viewed in conjunction with a Service Speed (most economical speed) of 10.5 knots. The new vessel will have a draft not exceeding 4.3m to enable it to work from all Trinity House bases. When at anchor, the vessel should be designed such that through appropriate distribution of superstructures and deck houses, the vessel will lie to its anchor without assistance from propulsion systems. The vessel will be Dynamically Positioned to DP2 standard.
