Holyhead Marine will be exhibiting at Seawork 2011 this year and can be found on Stand No A253. If you are visiting the show please call at our stand where we will be pleased to discuss any forthcoming requirements you may have or at the very least for a chat.
Offshore Raiding Craft no. 16 travelled to London this week to take part in DSEi 2007. At Holyhead Marine`s first showing at the World`s most prestigious defence show, the ORC wowed spectators with its manoeuvrability and control as it was put through its paces in the Royal Victoria Dock. The aft console Fire Support Platform variant will be stripped back to its troop carrying/patrol role before taking its place in Faslane`s Royal Marines Fleet Protection Group.
One of the most interesting boats on the floating pontoon at Seawork International 2007 will be the Holyhead Marine, 15m MoD Police Patrol Boat. This first of class boat, designed by Camarc Ltd and built by the Anglesey based yard is to serve as the next generation MoD Police craft. The new design GRP hulled vessel is also a natural for other patrol roles, the pilot boat market and other workboat applications. The Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) has the largest Marine capability of any police force in the UK, with units at HM Naval Bases at Devonport, Portsmouth and Faslane on the Clyde. MDP Marine Police officers exercise constabulary powers and privileges in UK territorial waters in relation to Crown property. They escort and protect warships and submarines, both UK and international, within the Dockyard Ports.
