Israeli Police Trial its Latest Patrol Boats
Israel Marine Police delegation visits SAFE Boats International to sea trial final patrol boats under multi-year contract
The Israel Marine Police (IMP) visited SAFE Boats International (SBI) this week to inspect and sea trial the final three vessels of 10 new patrol boats under contract. The delivery finalizes an extensive multiyear vessel procurement planned by the Israel Marine Police since 2012.
“Over the past three years the Israel Marine Police partnered with SAFE Boats International to construct 10 vessels for the safety and security of our community. Each vessel has enhanced command and control systems that will increase the Israel Marine Police interoperability within our region,” said Yuval Karta, Commander, Israel Marine Police. “Our new vessels will serve our community by keeping the public safe through Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue.”
The first Israel Marine Police boats delivered by SBI are currently in service patrolling the coastal waters of Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. Formally delivered at a special ceremony at SBI on December 20, the last of the vessels are to be placed in service by March of 2017.
