Caimen-200
BMT's design for a fast Landing Craft Tank (LCT)
Caimen®-200 is BMT's design for a fast Landing Craft Tank (LCT) capable of achieving a transit speed of more than 16 knots fully laden with up to three Main Battle Tanks (MBT).
By almost doubling the speed with which assault waves are transported to the beach, employment of the LCT Caimen-200 enables more weight and firepower of amphibious forces to be deployed in a shorter time.
That means greater military effect achieved for the same resources deployed.
Caimen-200 is just one design from the BMT InSpira® portfolio which enhances our role as the leading independent centre of excellence for naval design and engineering support.
Design Approach
Landing Craft operators are well aware of the difficulty of balancing transit speed, load-carrying capacity and beached stability requirements. This is how we arrived at our solution, the fast LCT design Caimen-200.
Design Features
The benefits the Caimen-200 design will offer its operators are delivered by the world class performance built into her design. Read more detail on the features offered by our fast LCT design, Caimen-200.
