The Monjed 2 is a fireboat operated in Kuwait.[1] She is a catamaran design, constructed by Metalcraft Marine, of Kingston, Ontario.
The vessel's draft is less than two feet, as she may be called upon to operate in very shallow water.[1] She has water cannons mounted atop two 45 foot tall extensible towers, for fighting fires on oil platforms.[2] The water cannon on each mast can project 5,500 gallons per minute.
Overall, her water cannons can project a total of 12,000 gallons per minute.[1]
