Following trials, the new 23.9m Damen Fire Fighting/Police Patrol vessel 'Bremen 1' has been handed over to its new owner the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. It will be used jointly by Police and Fire departments in Bremen, Germany, so it has been painted in two colours red and blue. Under emergency call out the vessel can reach speeds of 40 km/hr with its triple Caterpillar engines driving triple UltraJet High Thrust Waterjets via ZF500 gearboxes. UltraJet waterjets were chosen for their high thrust performance required during fire fighting operations and for towing purposes.
