On May 1st, we celebrated the delivery of the first of three high-performance boats to the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) by showing Nightly News 7 Tasmania, WIN News Tasmania and The Mercury Newspaper around our Hobart workshop.
They also inspected our progress on the next two vessels (currently being built) destined to keep New Zealand’s waters safe and secure.
PFG CEO Robert Inches said the high-speed 12.5-metre Littoral Manoeuvre Craft, part of the Sentinel family of seaboats, is the product of PFG’s 25 years’ of experience constructing vessels capable of excelling in the toughest ocean conditions.
“We’ve worked closely with the NZDF in the design, construction and sea-trial phases and it is exciting to see the first boat now entering service,” he said.
The project has been delivered in partnership with NZDF and a network of respected naval experts and suppliers in Australia and New Zealand, including One2three Naval Architects, General Marine Services Limited and PFG’s Defence Capability Advisory Committee.
