The result of years of research and technological development, this 12-meter vessel – currently at the forefront in the small size category in the fireboat sector – is equipped with the most advanced technologies, and is designed to ensure a quick and effective response to maritime emergencies. 

It features two FPT Industrial N67 550 marine engines for propulsion, delivering total 1100 hp that allow to quickly react in case of urgency (36 Kn at medium load – 33 Kn at full load). A FPT Industrial N40 250 E variable speed auxiliary powers the 5000 litres @ 10 BAR firefighting pump and a specific system for high pressure drilling of ships or boats in distress. 

The new fireboat also features a number of other advanced equipment, and its introduction marks a significant enhancement of the firefighters’ operational capabilities, improving their ability to safeguard the safety in the waters off the coast of the Principality of Monaco.

On May 4th, 2024, the new HTM 440 Fireman supplied to the Monaco fire brigade was launched in the Principality’s port under the name of “Prince Jacques”.

The ceremony was attended by the Royal Family, His Excellency Monsignor Dominique-Marie David, Archbishop of Monaco, and Lieutenant-Colonel Maxime Yvard, Commander of the Monaco Fire Brigade.
