The vessel will measure 40m and be designed for reliability and self-sufficiency on longterm deployment by the Australian Customs & Border at Ashmore Island – an external territory of Australia lying 500 miles off the coast of Darwin in the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n
Ron Anderson, executive director, Strategic Marine, said: \u201cWe are delighted our long experience in the construction of transport and patrol boats for many governments gave Gardline the confidence to select us to build for them under their contact with the Australian authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new patrol vessel will have a steel and aluminium superstructure design stemming from Gardline\u2019s previous experience with the current vessel operating in the same location.<\/p>\n
Added to this it will have two twin main caterpillar 32 engines and a bowthruster, twin davits and tenders. IT will have a draft of 2.4m and a breadth of 11.5m and there will be accommodation for 17 crew and 26 passengers.<\/p>\n
The vessel will be built at Strategic\u2019s shipyard in Vietnam and is intended for delivery in mid 2014.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile this week, Strategic Marine delivered the Njord Lapwing<\/i>, the fourth in a series of eight windfarm vessels ordered by Njord Offshore (UK). This follows February\u2019s delivery of the Njord Curlew<\/i> and will be succeeded by next month\u2019s delivery of the Njord Petrel<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
