North Sea Boats is an international boat building company specialized in building craft for military, law enforcement, SAR, commercial, and high performance applications.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The company has presence in Sweden, Singapore and Indonesia, with its headquarters located at Banyuwangi East Java Indonesia. North Sea Boats was founded in 2003 by John and Lizza Lundin as a trading name for PT. Lundin Industry Invest.[7]

History

John Lundin grew up with boats, as his father Allan Lundin founded the Swedeship company which operated shipyards including Gotland shipyard and Djupvik Shipyard in Sweden. After the Swedish shipyard crisis the Swedeship company was the largest privately owned boat building company in Sweden. It was through Swedeship that John first came to Indonesia in the mid 90's to investigate the company's expansion opportunities. Allan Lundin died from cancer in 1996, and Swedeship was sold. However the family dream of a shipyard in Indonesia still remained, so John and his Indonesian wife Lizza moved there permanently. After some years of small-scale furniture manufacturing to gain experience of the business culture there, they founding the boat building company North Sea Boats in 2003.

Products

The boats are constructed using modern composite production techniques such as dual surface vacuum core resin infusion. All materials used are LLoyds / DNV Class Approved, and include carbon composite fibre and E Glass multi-axial non-woven stitched re-inforcings and Vinyl Ester resins.

The various models incorporate "open architecture" deck plans that can be configured to perform multi-role tasks in a broad range of operational environments. They can be powered by inboard diesel engines, outboard motors or by transom drives and waterjets.

X3K

A 63 meter long carbon composite[8] stealth trimaran missile ship. The Indonesian Navy ordered the first of four for delivery starting in 2012.[9][10][11][12] The first of these was named KRI Klewang (hull number 625) and was launched on 29 August 2012; however, only four weeks later the ship caught fire on 28 September while undergoing fit-out in Banyuwangi, and was completely destroyed.

A replacement 63 m Trimaran is now under construction in Banyuwangi, and is expected to be launched in early 2016. In the interim period, advances in infusable vinylester resin chemistry have seen the incorporation of nano particles into the resin. These particles aid the transfer of the resin through the carbon/glass fibre matrix and allow the use of fire retardant grade vinylester for infusion. This makes the carbon fibre composite structure of the new vessel self-extinguishing.[13]

X3K trimaran

Bonefish USV

Saab and PT Lundin (North Sea Boats) revealed a mockup of a trimaran Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) at Indo Defence 2014.

It was formally unveiled by Indonesia’s defence minister General (ret.) Ryamizard Ryacudu and Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Marsetio in a joint ribbon-cutting ceremony on the first day of the show.

Development of the Bonefish demonstrator began at the start of 2014, the concept marrying Saab Australia’s mission systems integration expertise with a LOMOcean’s trimaran hullform. The mockup was built in approximately six months at PT Lundin’s composite boat production facility in Banyuwangi, East Java.

Capable of speeds of up to 40kts, Bonefish is designed to incorporate a wide range of sensors, satellite-based control and a modular payload bay to enable role flexibility. Potential missions could include anti-piracy, maritime surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, search and rescue, and hydrography.

X2K

The 10.3 X2K Range and the 11.3 m X2K RHIB ( Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat ) Range of models incorporate a double stepped hull design that is based on an offshore race boat design from Sweden. It is a high performance model capable of speeds in excess of 50 knots.

There are several X2K variants in production, which include:[1][14]

  • Sports / Fishing - centre console recreational model
  • VIP Transfer - with an enclosed cabin for passenger transfers
  • Dive - configured for diving, or as a work boat.
  • Interceptor - designed for patrol and fast interception.
  • Sports RHIB - centre console recreational model
  • Special Forces / Operations RHIB - serving military and law enforcement roles.
  • nterceptor RHIB - designed for patrol and fast interception.
  • SAR / Pilot / Work RHIB - configured for Search & Rescue, Pilot and work boat roles.

X10 RHIB

The X10 is a 10.5 m RHIB model with a Deep "Vee" hull design. It is designed for patrol or commercial duty and can be fitted with either inboard diesel engines and waterjets, conventional stern drives, or outboard motors.


X38 Catamaran

The X38 is a 12.3 m, stepped-hull, power catamaran design that offers excellent sea-keeping, efficiency, speed, and safety. It is ideally suited for passenger transfers, diving, conservation, patrol, and combat operations. It can also be used for law enforcement, medical evacuations and rescue operations.
