Australian shipbuilder Norman R. Wright & Sons recently launched Reef Resilience,
an Incat Crowther 24 patrol boat that will join Reef Ranger in protecting the Great Barrier Reef.
Reef Resilience will service the southern region of the Reef from her home port in Gladstone, while Reef Ranger will continue to service the northern region from Cairns, meaning the entire reef will now benefit from the capability and operability this class of vessel offers. The vessel’s remit includes compliance monitoring, marine park and island national park management, diving and research operations. The vessel will also operate in remote offshore waters within the Australian EEZ for extended periods of up to three months.
