Austal's Coast Guard upgrade

摘要

Six high speed aluminium patrol craft have now been delivered by Australian shipbuilder Austal to the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard (TTCG). Capable of speeds greater than 40kts and armed with general purpose machine guns and a 20mm cannon, the 30m vessels will expand the TTCG's surveillance and enforcement capability in the region. The vessels are named TTS Scarlet Ibis, TTS Hibiscus, TTS Humming Bird, TTS Chaco-nia, TTS Poui and TTS Teak.
