P355, the winner of competition!

This is the fifth post, after a long time, about infographics of various coast guard vessels from around the world. The following infographic is part of an article I wrote together with my friend Davelis, in Greek, for the Greek online magazine e-Amyna, about the current situation of the Hellenic Coast Guard (Λιμενικό Σώμα) large patrol vessel fleet and the new boats that the Coast Guard might purchase in the near future. The title of the article is "Present and future of the large patrol vessels of the Hellenic Coast Guard". That article briefly summarizes the issues, the needs for new acquisitions, modernization programmes regarding the current fleet as well as and the candidates for the Coast Guard's new competition for 3+1 30-45-meter armed patrol boats. Enjoy the article Παρόν και μέλλον των μεγάλων περιπολικών του Λιμενικού Σώματος!

UPDATE: the Hellenic Coast Guard will acquire four P355, a design by Cantiere Navale Vitoria (CNV) SPA. The boats will be 37-meters in length, 160 tons displacement at full load and will achieve a maximum speed of 40 knots. The equipment will consist of two LRCWS (Light Remotely Controlled Weapon Stations), a pair off JRC navigation radars and two  electro-optical sensors
