A high-speed vessel, with probable links to drug trafficking, which was found beached in March 2022 on Bicas beach, in Sesimbra, was recovered by the Navy and projected by merchant ship, this Saturday, for São Tomé and Príncipe, reinforcing the Portuguese Navy's device in that country.
According to the Portuguese Navy, in a statement to which Notícias ao Minuto had access, the vessel "was very damaged, with the hull structurally intact". "Of the four outboard motors that equipped it, two would have been lost and the other two were inoperable and unrecoverable," he explained.
In this sense, the hull was given up as lost in favor of the State and delivered, by order of the Public Ministry, to the project to train the São Tomé and Príncipe Coast Guard.
The vessel was recovered by the Unmanned Systems Innovation and Operational Experimentation Cell (CEOV), in partnership with the Maintenance Center of the National Maritime Authority (CM AMN).
"Its recovery aimed, among other actions, at the structural repair of the hull; the reinforcement of its buoyancy, using special closed-cell foam; the installation of new outboard motors; the total reconfiguration of electronic cabling; of the battery system and the installation of benches, which allow all crew members to be accommodated safely. A satellite communications system was also installed, a waterproof canvas cover, which allows the crew and equipment to be protected from sun exposure, as well as for ballistic protection and the possibility of mounting an MG3 machine gun at the bow," described the Navy.
Nicknamed 'Príncipe', the vessel is 12.8 meters long, 2.7 meters wide (maximum width) and will have a crew of 10, made up of Portuguese marines and São Tomé Coast Guard soldiers, where the NRP Centauro is currently still located.
"With this EAV, in addition to reinforcing another means for the maritime surveillance and search and rescue mission, the Portuguese Navy now has a vessel with offshore capabilities for rapid intervention in support of the Special Actions Detachment of the Marines, who, for example, can parachute into the open sea, exponentially increasing this type of operation against all types of maritime crime in the region," concludes the note.
