Two 60-ft ramped cargo boats built by Whittingham and Mitchel Ltd for Royal Pakistan Navy, are intended mainly for operation in shallow waterways; use of aluminum instead of steel has reduced draft; timber tracks for vehicles are provided on loading ramp, which is operated from aft by wires led along deck coamings; each vessel has two Perkins diesel engines, each developing 75 bhp at 1500 rpm.
