Austal 30m Coastguard Fast Patrol Craft Low-poly 3D model

The 30m fast patrol craft are built by Austal for the Trinidad and Tobago Coastguard (TTCG). The patrol boats were built for deployment in internal waters, the archipelagic territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone of Trinidad and Tobago to carry out surveillance and enforcement operations in the region.

All the craft are built at Austal’s facilities in Henderson, Western Australia. The six patrol craft are named as TTS Scarlet Ibis, TTS Hibiscus, TTS Hummingbird, TTS Chaconia, TTS Poui and TTS Teak. TTS Scarlet Ibis was launched at Western Australian shipyard in May 2009.

It began sea trials in June 2009. The first three craft completed sea trials in September 2009 and were delivered to the TTCG the same month. The keel for the sixth vessel, TTS Teak, was laid in July 2008. Deliveries of the 30m aluminium fast patrol boats to the TTCG were completed in January 2010.

Three vessels were deployed for the first time in the Port of Spain November 2009, to provide security for the Commonwealth heads of government meeting (CHOGM) 2009.
