A proud moment for the Austal Australia #team recently, when Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) acknowledged the installation of over 100 x CAT engines into the Guardian-class Patrol Boats, being delivered to Defence Australia under the Pacific Patrol Boat Replacement (PPB-R) Project, SEA3036-1. Part of the Australian Government 's Pacific Maritime Security Program, the PPB-R Project now comprises 24 x Guardian-class Patrol Boats, designed and constructed by Austal in Henderson, Western Australia. The 39.5 metre steel hull vessels, gifted to our Pacific Island neighbours, are also serviced and supported by the Austal team in Cairns, Queensland. Thank you to the EPSA team for this fitting acknowledgement of the great collaboration between Austal Australia and EPSA on the PPB-R project; successfully contributing to Australia's national naval shipbuilding enterprise and sovereign capability. #Austal #EPSA #CATMarine #Guardian #PatrolBoats #defence #defenceindustry #australian #sovereigncapability
Energy Power Systems Australia's Marine Excellence Centre (MEC) has successfully delivered and commissioned 22 vessels for the Austal Pacific Patrol Boat program to date, incorporating a total of 110 CAT engines. We had the honour of presenting an award to Austal in recognition of the first 100 CAT engines to the program since being awarded the contract in 2017. The award was presented by Miles Taylor, Project Lead MEC, to Simon Fell CPPM, Patrol Boat Program Manager, and the Austal team. This milestone reflects our ongoing collaboration with Austal, and EPSA's commitment to supporting Australia's maritime defence industry. #MarineExcellence #EPSA #CATMarine #Austal #PacificPatrolBoat
