A 15m Patrol Vessel with a new and dedicated Camarc river hull design is now in operation on the Yangtze River. Built by Wuhan Zhongjiao, this 15m vessel will be used by the Chinese Government Yangtze Public Security Bureau. The hull design has been optimised for river use with high efficiency and low wake allowing for operational speeds of 30 Knots. As well as patrol duties, the craft also performs a rescue and fire-fighting role on the river.

Ocean Pacific Marine have been awarded a contract to build a state-of-the-art 19.9m Pilot Boat for the Pacific Pilotage Authority. This vessel will feature the new Camarc refined double chine hull, providing enhanced efficiency and reduced accelerations & motions for the Operator. A resiliently mounted wheelhouse will also be installed to optimise noise and vibration for Crew comfort.

The heightened hull efficiency in conjunction with a new-to-market Tier III emissions system provides the latest in efficient clean operations for high-speed, long-range diesel pilot boats. Waterjets will be installed to provide the manoeuvrability and protection against damage from log debris, vital to operations in BC. The large section Camarc Popsure fender system will also feature for pilotage boarding impacts. When delivered, the new vessel will join the PPA fleet with 4 existing Camarc vessels.

Camarc Design 42m Fisheries Surveillance Patrol vessel on official sea trials last week at Freire Shipyard in Vigo, Spain. This vessel has been built for the Public Authority for Agriculture and Fish Resources, Marine Surveillance Department of Kuwait.

The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced yesterday major renovations to the Coast Guard base in Kitsilano, British Columbia where the CG 158 response boat is permanently stationed. The vessel has also been renamed the CCGS Laredo Sound, after an ocean passage off the scenic central coast of B.C. In 2017 The Canadian Coast Guard purchased this Camarc Design 45ft RBM from the United States Coast Guard using the callsign Coast Guard 158. While in service the vessel has seen significantly improved response times for environmental incidents and search and rescue missions in all weather conditions.

The success of Project Innovation, a development and trials programme, has led to Loodswezen commissioning Camarc to design their new series high speed pilot tenders. The new design builds upon the existing fleet of proven Camarc boats for Loodswezen and features the new refined hull for improved fuel efficiency and comfort. The first vessel is currently under construction at Next Generation Shipyards in the Netherlands.
