Austal's Patrol 58 (Evolved Cape Class Patrol Boat, ECCPB) and Patrol 40 (Guardian Class Patrol Boat, GCPB), filmed at sea together for the first time.
The Royal Australian Navy's first Evolved Cape Class Patrol Boat, ADV Cape Otway (314) and the Cook Islands Police newest vessel, "Te Kukupa II" (to be handed over in May 2022) were filmed conducting sea trials manoeuvres in the Cockburn Sound, off the coast of Henderson, Western Australia.
The Evolved Cape Class and Guardian Class Patrol Boats are both designed, constructed and sustained by the team at Austal Australia, a proud capability partner in Australia's National Naval Shipbuilding Enterprise, contributing to Australia's sovereign capability.
Eight ECCPB's are to be delivered to the RAN over 2022 - 2024, while 21 x GCPB's are to be delivered to the Commonwealth of Australia (Department of Defence) under the Pacific Patrol Boat Replacement Project. The Australian Government is gifting all 21 GCPB's to 12 Pacific Island nations and Timor Leste over 2018-2023. Austal Australia has delivered 14 GCPB's to April 2022 and is on track to deliver all vessels on time and on budget.
An unprecedented 9 vessels are scheduled to be delivered by Austal Australia in CY2022 - 4 x ECCPB's and 5 x GCPB's.
