Delivery to Add to the New York Harbor Unit by Fremont’s Kvichak

In March, Kvichak Marine Industries delivered the third response boat – built in Fremont – to the New York Police Department Harbor Unit.  This 44.5’ Response Boat Medium – C will join two others – delivered in April 2010 and August 2012 – to provide maritime security and law enforcement along with search and rescue in the New York metropolitan area.

As with all Kvichak vessels, these boats have an all-aluminum hull.  A full cabin provides the crew with protection from the elements, and is equipped with a robust navigation system and communication system compatible with maritime security partners.  The boat draws a draft of 3.0’ and has a top speed of 40 knots.  Designed by Camarc Design U.K., a similar response boat was purchased by the Seattle Police Department and currently serves as part of the Harbor Patrol fleet.

Contact Kvichak Marine Industries (located at 469 NW Bowdoin Place in West Fremont,) for more information on this boat.  Kvichack can be reached at sales@kvichak.com, 206/545-8485 or through the website.
