Austal signed contract for replacement Pacific Patrol Boats
Defence Ministers » Minister for Defence – Contract signed for replacement Pacific Patrol Boats
Great day for Austal and WA in general. As a West Aussie, I'm glad that Austal has won the bid to build the boats. Will be great to see them in Henderson/Freo waters.
Can't wait to see them build the OPVs too. Will be interesting to see how the OPV work will be split between them and ASC though, and if the Commonwealth will own the design rather than either of the shipyards.
