Kvichak Marine Industries, a Vigor Company, is currently constructing
the fourth 44.5’ Response

Harbor Unit. The first three vessels were delivered in April 2010, August

“The
RB-M C has proven itself in the most challenging missions,” said
Art Parker, Vigor sales manager. “The Kvichak team is honored
to be building a fourth boat to support what is arguably the finest
and most experienced marine patrol units in the world.” These all-aluminum vessels are designed by Camarc Design, UK and powered by tier II compliant twin Detroit Diesel 60 series engines rated for 825 BHP each coupled to Twin Disc MG5114SC marine gears. Rolls Royce Kamewa FF375S waterjets are the chosen propulsion. A full cabin provides crew protection from the elements and is equipped with a robust navigation system, heat and air conditioning, shock mitigating seats and a communication system capable of communicating with other maritime security partners. Delivery is scheduled for Spring 2016. Link to RB-M Technical datasheet |
