1. The mission of the project
SAZAN (Security Assault Zone Access Navigator) was created as a universal professional platform for daily service.
The main objective of the project is to provide government agencies with a modern patrol vessel that approaches larger boats in its capabilities, while remaining compact, economical and convenient to transport.
The boat is designed for operation:
- Ministry OF Internal Affairs
- Border Guard Service
- Marine Police
- Coast Guard
- Ministry OF Emergency Situations
- Fish protection
- Customs Service
- Environmental inspections
- Port administrations
- Municipal rescue services
Operating conditions
- rivers;
- lakes;
- reservoirs;
- coastal marine area;
- inland sea waters;
- ports;
- channels;
- wetlands;
- northern regions.
The boat is capable of performing:
- patrolling;
- harassment of violators;
- ship inspection;
- rescue operations;
- delivery of operational groups;
- event support;
- control of water areas;
- ensuring the safety of mass events on the water.
2. The idea of SAZAN
Simplicity. Reliability. Constant readiness.
The name SAZAN symbolizes a strong freshwater fish that feels great in almost any environment.
These qualities formed the basis of the project.
SAZAN is a professional tool.
It does not seek to look complicated or expensive.
Each line of the case has a practical purpose. Every detail exists solely for the sake of efficiency.
The main values of the project:
- functionality;
- reliability;
- maintainability;
- adaptability;
- crew safety;
- modern engineering;
- minimum life cycle cost.
3. General concept and design
The design of SAZAN is based on the principles of modern industrial engineering.
The exterior image is inspired by the shape of a powerful carp's body:
- high volume of the case;
- secure landing on the water;
- pronounced nose;
- smooth transitions of the upper surfaces;
- strong shoulder board line;
- high cabin;
- stable silhouette.
At the same time, the design is as simple as possible.
Basic Design Principle RenderWorks Industrial Design:
Each panel should be easily produced by laser cutting and bending.
The case consists almost entirely of:
- flat aluminum sheets;
- Gibov;
- longitudinal amplifiers;
- a minimum number of complex spatial details.
This approach significantly reduces the cost of production. All surfaces have large planes with clear lines and a minimum number of decorative elements. The appearance is modern, professional and recognizable.

5. Key advantages over existing boats
Simple production
Almost the entire case is produced:
- laser cutting;
- flexible;
- welding.
Without expensive molding.
Minimum number of parts
This significantly speeds up production and maintenance.
High maintainability
Any damaged item can be manufactured separately.
Low cost of operation
