BOATBUILDING 25? Transportable Port Security Boat (TPSB)Kvichak Marine Industries, Inc. has delivered 52 Transportable Port Secu- rity Boats (TPSB) to the U. S. Coast Guard. These 32? 9? all-aluminum vessels are operated by a crew of 4 and include shock mitigating seats to minimize crew fatigue on extended missions. Ballistic Armor Protection and up to 4 mounted weapons provide increased mission capability and crew safety during tactical operations. Pow- ered by twin Yanmar 315 hp diesel en- gines with Bravo 1-XR outdrives the TPSB provides security, maritime law enforcement and search and rescue operations in coast areas worldwide. The TPSB can maneuver in as little as 24? of water and can operate safely in 8? seas and up to 30 knots of wind.The shore-based TPSB is designed as a multi-mission capable boat. Pri- mary missions include ?Landside Security? and ?Waterside Security? operations providing waterborne se- curity and point defense force protec- tion, in addition to standard Coast Guard missions such as Port, Water- ways, and Coastal Security (PWCS), Maritime Law Enforcement (MLE), and Search and Rescue (SAR). 29? Response Boat ? Small (RB-S II)When Metal Shark was awarded the contract to replace the US Coast Guard?s aging eet of 470 Response Boats ? Small (RB-S) with the new 29 De ant, the contract was one of the largest boat buys of its kind for the Coast Guard. The most immedi- ately apparent advancement in Metal Shark?s De ant class is the pilothouse con guration which employs pillar- less glass to substantially enhance vis-ibility. The result is a near elimination of the dangerous blind spots as can be found in many conventional pilot- house vessels. Metal Shark also employed a unique window system that allows the side and aft windows to quickly drop into the hull, converting the vessel from a full cabin to an open boat. No lon- ger must a choice be made between the utility of an open boat and the all-weather capability of a pilothouse. Each 29 De ant features solid, welded construction, foam otation below decks and in the gunnels, and a du-rable foam collar made of solid foam mmÜÜWW==EEPPPPTTFFOOPPTTJJRRMMNNNN ccññWW==EEPPPPTTFF==UUPPTTJJTTTTUURRbbWW==ÜÜÉÉ~~ÇÇÑÑääììëëÜÜÉÉêê]]~~ÜÜÉÉ~~ÇÇíí~~ååââKKÅÅççããttÉÉÄÄWW==ïïïïïïKK~~ÜÜÉÉ~~ÇÇíí~~ååââKKÅÅççãã + +==``ÜÜÉÉããááÅÅ~~ää==ooÉÉëëááëëíí~~ååíí== + +==ooììëëíí==CC==``ççêêêêççëëááççåå==mmêêççççÑÑ==== + +==llÇÇççêê==ccêêÉÉÉÉ== + +==aaììêê~~ÄÄääÉÉ== + +==``ççããéé~~ÅÅíí==== + +==iiááÖÖÜÜíí==ttÉÉááÖÖÜÜííqqóóééÉÉ==ffff==ppÉÉïï~~ÖÖÉÉ==qqêêÉÉ~~ííããÉÉååíí==mmää~~ååíí==EEppqqmmFFrp=`ç~ëí=dì~êÇ=`ÉêíáÑáÉÇ ~åÇ=fjl=OMNM=^ééêçîÉÇ qqÜÜÉÉááëë==ÅÅççååëëííêêììÅÅííÉÉÇÇ==ççÑÑ==eeÉÉ~~îîóódd~~ììÖÖÉÉ==iiii==mmççääóóÉÉííÜÜÉÉääóóååÉÉ==ììëëááååÖÖ==ííÜÜÉÉ==ããççëëíí~~ÇÇîî~~ååÅÅÉÉÇÇ==ëëíí~~ííÉÉJJççÑÑJJííÜÜÉÉJJ~~êêíí==êêççíí~~ííááççåå~~ääããççääÇÇááååÖÖ==ééêêççÅÅÉÉëëëë==ÅÅêêÉÉ~~ííááååÖÖ==~~==ììååááíí==ííÜÜ~~íí==ááëëWW + +==iiççïï==jj~~ááååííÉÉåå~~ååÅÅÉÉLR-IIOTH-IV25?
