[3] Each craft has sufficient capacity to support payloads of up to 8,000 kilograms (18,000 lb), making it suitable to carry a mixture of passengers, vehicles and miscellaneous equipment for conducting disaster relief and medical evacuation missions.
[2] This propulsion system reportedly enables the craft to achieve a top speed of 53.5 knots (99.1 km/h; 61.6 mph), making it suitable for high-speed patrolling while traversing coastal shallow waters, marshy areas, and creeks as well as across deep seas.
[1] The hull of the 8000TD is primarily composed of lightweight marine grade aluminium alloy, while other elements comprise a high proportion of composite materials, which are typically moulded for greater strength and longevity.
Later-built craft features improved seakeeping capabilities and a higher top speed, along with greater clearance, and more advanced onboard navigation and surveillance systems.
[7] These craft are not identical to the earlier batch, featuring several enhancements and additional pieces of equipment, often intended to improve serviceability and incorporate technical advances.
