French shipyard Couach to deliver two 22 meters Patrol Boat to Yemen Coast Guard.

Perfect Reliability in Extreme Climatic Conditions
PLASCOA 2200 FAST PATROL, whose highly reliable and proficient hull has already proven its worth with French Customs, is able to meet the rigorous standards required for “high sea” certification. Weather conditions alone in Yemen (temperatures > 35°C; humidity > 80%) give an idea of the technical constraints encountered in order to ensure equipment reliability, ventilation in the engine room, air conditioning and fire protection, all without diminishing performances.

With this new delivery, the COUACH shipyard consolidates its position on the professional boat market and in the eyes of a loyal customer, who has already previously acquired four 15 metres PLASCOA patrol boats.

As a reminder, COUACH is one of the rare shipyards in Europe to have dual competences in composite boats: design and construction of both high value technological professional boats (the PLASCOA range) and high-end luxury yachts (COUACH Yachts range). COUACH Yachts consequently benefit directly from the construction quality and high technological standards developed for the patrol boats.
