This is one of the great innovative vessels built for the MRNSW fleet. Greys Marine and CNC design did a great job.
It's rewarding seeing these projects come to life. Working as Senior Manager of Fleet for MRNSW certainly has it's rewarding moments and I'm lucky with these opportunities.

If you need assistance with your SMS reach out.

Find out who can be the designated person for a DCV and what they need to do.

Here's another article on a vessel project running at MRNSW, the boat for Marine Rescue Trial Bay is being built alongside a sister vessel for Brunswick. Built in NSW Australia by Yamba Welding and Engineering. These vessels will showcase the quailty options we have and the achievements of the boat building expertise in the Australia and New Zealand.

From concept to consulting, project management then onto training and delivery into operation. Another beautiful little project which came together.
This 6.11 Multipurpose vessel built by Yamba Welding and Engineering is an amazing platform for shallow water rescue work as well as near coastal operations with pleanty of working space and easy access through the bow. Ideal also to fit out for a short trip tour boat, transfer vessel, or recreational and fishing options.
This solid and stable platform is proving very popular with the crew operating them so far.
We were pleasantly surprised at the performance and seakeeping abilities of this ripper of a boat.

So here's a moment, the first official post for the The Boat Project and the latest project complete in my position as Fleet Manager with Marine Rescue NSW. The GM6800 Rescue Vessel.

The next step in this project is the delivery and induction training for the Rescue unit at Alpine Lakes.

This has been a great project so far, working collaboratively with suppliers, and designers to achieve a great result.

Stay tuned for more on this project and upcoming posts.

Thanks
