Roraima
Patrol Vesselconfirmed
The Roraima-class are a series of riverine patrol vessels of the Brazilian and Paraguayan Navy built at MacLaren Shipyards and AMRJ, in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro and were commissioned between the end of 1975 and 1984. They are also equipped with a medical and dental office, as well as an infirmary. In the early 2000s, the 3 Brazilian ships of the class underwent re-engining, with their MAN V616/18TL engines being replaced by Volvo Penta model D49A MS V12, which allowed for an increase in speed from 14.5 to 17 knots, as well as greater fuel economy.
