This type of 40-meter-class patrol vessel has a total length of 47.40 meters, a beam of 8 meters, and a depth of 4.7 meters. It is powered by twin diesel engines, twin shafts, twin rudders, and twin propellers, with a cruising range of no less than 1,300 nautical miles and a self-sustaining capacity of 7 days and nights, and can sail in offshore areas.
