HENDERSON: Austal (Australian company on aluminum vessels) has delivered the fourth of eight Cape Class patrol boats being supplied to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service under a $330 million contract.
Chief executive Andrew Bellamy said the Cape Sorell represented a significant milestone with half the Cape Class fleet now delivered, and continuing to be delivered in accordance with contracted timeframes.
“Austal continues to deliver the Cape Class Program on time and on budget,” he said.
The company said the remaining four Cape Class vessels were at various stages of construction and would be delivered progressively through to late 2015, in line with the contract.
